Werner Player Carbon: A Top-of-the-Line Paddle for Modern Playboating

Innovative curved blades for maximum control

This model features a major innovation in the form of curved blades. This unique design provides immediate directional response during side-to-side and steering strokes. The medium blade size is absolutely ideal for the vast majority of average-sized paddlers. Whether you’re riding a wave or pulling off tricks in a barrel, this paddle will give you the support you need. Smooth forward paddling is ensured by a pronounced center rib, which eliminates unwanted blade spin in the water.

Premium carbon fiber and an asymmetrical shape

The Premium Performance series is constructed using the very best materials available. The full-carbon blades represent the lightest possible option, which radically reduces the perceived weight during the stroke. The blade is also equipped with a specially shaped, low-profile reinforcing rib. This gives the paddle extreme stiffness and overall strength, while still allowing for lightning-fast maneuvering when linking complex freestyle moves.

Neutral Angled Pole for Joint Health

This one-piece version features a neutral, angled shaft. The ergonomic bend keeps your wrist in a natural position, significantly reducing fatigue and preventing tendon injuries during intense training. The paddle features optimized flexibility, so it absorbs hard impacts without losing its legendary reliability. Paddlers can adjust the angle precisely to their preferences from zero to ninety degrees; the R30 angle has long been the most popular choice for playboating.

Expert advice: A bent shaft is a fantastic investment for playboating because it protects your wrists from unnatural twisting during complex rotations. Although carbon is extremely light and stiff, it requires a bit more caution when coming into contact with sharp rocks in shallow water. If you’re just starting out with freestyle, we recommend choosing the R30 bend angle, which is by far the most commonly used for wave tricks among right-handers.
