Werner Kalliste STR Carbon 2piece

Werner Kalliste STR Carbon: The lightest and most sophisticated paddle for touring

Kalliste STR: Perfection for the low-angle style

The Kalliste model is Werner’s flagship paddle for paddlers who prefer a more relaxed, low-angle paddling style. The STR (Straight) version features a classic straight shaft combined with medium-sized blades (643 cm²). This shape is absolutely ideal for the vast majority of paddlers—it provides a fluid, smooth stroke that doesn’t strain muscles or joints, while still ensuring sufficient speed and efficiency on endlessly long trips.

Straight shaft, durable Dynel® edges, and quiet operation

Werner Kalliste uses the most advanced technologies and materials to offer you an uncompromising experience on the water:

• Dynel® Edge Guards: The edges of the lightweight carbon blades are reinforced with Dynel® composite material, which offers extreme resistance to abrasion and impact. This gives your carbon paddle a level of protection that standard models lack.
• The incredible lightness and shape of the rear surface: Weighing just 634 g, it is one of the lightest paddles on the market. In addition, the perfectly smooth back surface of the blades ensures a completely clean and quiet entry into and exit from the water, creating the impression of “floating” strokes.
• Straight Carbon Shaft: The two-piece carbon shaft offers a classic, loose grip and tremendous stiffness for immediate power transfer.
• Smart View Connector: A state-of-the-art, patented lock from an American manufacturer allows for lightning-fast and completely secure adjustment of the blade angle. The mechanism is hidden inside the shaft, so it doesn't get in the way of your hands while riding.

What is this paddle best suited for?

The Werner Kalliste STR Carbon is the perfect tool for avid hikers and sea kayakers. It really shines when:

• Long-distance sea kayaking and expeditions: Thanks to its minimal weight and medium blade area, it dramatically reduces physical fatigue during all-day paddling along the coast and on the open sea.
• Boating on large lakes and rivers: Smooth performance and premium materials will make every kilometer you ride a joy.
• Traveling with Equipment: The two-piece design makes it easier to transport and pack the paddle into a car or airplane without risking damage to the outer clips (which aren't present here thanks to the Smart View connector).
