Werner Ovation Straight Carbon 2-Piece: The Ultralight Pinnacle of Technological Innovation

Ovation STR: The Top of the Line for Low-Angle Style

The Ovation Straight model represents the absolute pinnacle of low-angle touring paddles. This paddle was designed with a single goal in mind: to achieve an extremely low weight while maintaining perfect stroke fluidity. Its greatest advantage lies in its medium-sized, floating blades (643 cm²) with a foam core. This voluminous design creates positive buoyancy upon contact with the water, causing the paddle to literally “pop” above the surface on its own. The extremely thin edges and dihedral shape ensure a completely silent and stable stroke without fatigue.

Straight shaft and floating carbon blades

The Werner Ovation STR combines ultimate luxury with a classic grip and clever details:

• An unbelievable 552 grams: The ultralight all-carbon construction drastically reduces shoulder and arm fatigue. On long trips, it feels as if you're not even holding the paddle in your hands.
• Straight Carbon Shaft: It offers the classic open grip that traditionalists are accustomed to and allows for smooth movement of the palms along the pole. It optimizes flex for maximum comfort.
• Smart-View Connector: The state-of-the-art internal mechanism (Smart-View Adjustable Ferrule System) allows for incredibly simple yet precise adjustment of the blade angle. It provides the feeling of the absolute rigidity of a one-piece paddle without any cumbersome external locks.
• Protective fleece cover: The paddle comes with a luxurious embroidered fleece cover that protects the ultralight carbon during transport and storage.

What is this paddle best suited for?

The Werner Ovation STR paddle is designed for experienced and discerning paddlers who have mastered the technique and can appreciate its finesse:

• Long-distance hiking and long trips: Its extremely light weight is phenomenal on long rides, where it minimizes muscle fatigue.
• Leisurely sea kayaking: The smooth and stable stroke of the medium-sized blades is ideal for relaxed paddling without unnecessary effort on lakes and along calm shorelines.
• Kayakers with perfect technique: It requires gentle handling and a smooth stroke, and is not intended for powerful paddling or technical maneuvers in extreme waves.

Technical parameters
