Werner Journey Wood STD

Werner Journey Wood: Tradition, elegance, and lightness all in one

Lightweight fiberglass sheet with buoyancy

The paddle blade is made of premium fiberglass with substantial internal buoyancy, which creates a feeling of exceptional lightness. This feature literally propels the blade out of the water at the end of each forward stroke, allowing the paddler to execute a series of strokes with absolute fluidity, silence, and effortlessness. The smooth surface of the blade and the extremely thin edge protection give the paddle the characteristics of a sharp knife that cuts smoothly and precisely through the water’s surface.

Handcrafted wooden pole and walnut cap

The shaft of this model is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship. It features a carefully designed combination of triple-laminated poplar wood, which ensures optimal strength and a beautiful grain pattern. The ergonomically shaped, symmetrical walnut paddle head fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and delivers that warm, traditional paddling feel. The tapered oval profile of the shaft is also protected by a durable polyurethane varnish that reliably withstands moisture, sunlight, and the rigors of the great outdoors.

Superior durability and optimized flexibility

Thanks to decades of experience with lamination, the manufacturer has achieved the perfect balance between stiffness and flexibility in this ultimate series. The paddle has undergone countless hours of testing to offer maximum comfort for all-day paddling without sacrificing the necessary power in each stroke. With a blade area of 110 square inches, you’ll get tremendous support when steering and paddling forward.

Expert advice: A wooden paddle is the pride of every paddler, but it requires occasional, gentle care. After each use—especially if the paddle has come into contact with moisture—do not let it dry in direct sunlight or in a hot car. Treat the surface of the polyurethane varnish and the walnut head with a mild wood wax from time to time. For safe storage and to protect this handcrafted beauty during transport, we recommend using a padded case.
