The Werner Player Carbon 1 Piece Straight Shaft combines a fiberglass shaft with continuous weave carbon blades, delivering top-tier performance tailored for play-boating in white water kayaking. For paddlers with smaller hands under 6.5 inches, it also offers a small diameter paddle shaft option. The blades are asymmetric with a slight downward twist, facilitating swift water entry and efficient cartwheeling near the boat without risking capsizing. A slight dihedral enhances manoeuvrability for smooth strokes while maintaining power during forward paddling.
Developed alongside the Side Kick, the Player sets the standard for play-boaters with its downturned blade design, offering precise directional control for advanced tricks during river play and surfing. Whether riding waves or navigating rapids, the Werner Player ensures an exhilarating paddling experience.
