Werner Paddles have constructed the Player Carbon to have a glass shaft and this in then mounted on a pair of continuous weave carbon blades. The Werner Player is also available with the option of a small diameter paddle shaft. The small diameter paddle shafts are ideal for paddlers who have a hand of under 6.5"
The player blades are generally assymetric, but they are also twisted slightly downwards. This means that they can enter the water more quickly and they will then pass closer to the boat for speed when cartwheeling. It also means that it will not trip the boat over as some alternative options do. The blade of the player also features a slight dihedral so that it will offer smooth maneuvering strokes while still retaining the power for the forward strokes.
The Player, developed alongside its larger counterpart the Side Kick, was a major innovation to play boaters by setting the standard with downturned blades. This Werner design innovation gives immediate directional control in rudder and draw strokes, for surfing or setting up todays’ most advanced tricks. On the wave or throwing down river, we’re along for the ride.
