Product detailed description

Werner Powerhouse Carbon - Key Features

Werner Powerhouse is a legendary paddle among whitewater paddlers, known for its powerful stroke and exceptional stability. This carbon version with a two-piece straight blade provides maximum power transfer thanks to its large blade area, while allowing for easy transport thanks to the split. The Powerhouse Carbon is popular with professionals and ambitious riders looking for reliability in any conditions - from high volume rivers to technical creeking sections.

Sheet design and shot characteristics

Paddle leavesWerner Powerhouse Carbon are symmetrical and have a large surface area (720 cm²), which ensures an exceptionally powerful and immediate shot. The dihedral design minimizes flutter, i.e. the oscillation of the blade during the bite, and allows maximum stability in turbulent water. The blade shape and balance is ideal for riders who prefer an aggressive paddling style with an emphasis on performance.

Construction and materials

Werner Powerhouse Carbon is designed for extreme loads while remaining lightweight and rigid:

• Carbon blades - high rigidity, low weight, instantaneous force transfer
• Carbon Straight Bar (2 Piece) - rigid, precise and easy to disassemble thanks to the Smart-View Adjustable Ferrule System
• Structural protective edges - Reinforced Dynel® and Kevlar® reinforcements protect the blades from wear and damage
• Handmade in the USA - precise craftsmanship and emphasis on quality

The design of this model is engineered for the toughest conditions where durability, strength and precision are key.

Variants and customisation

Werner Powerhouse Carbon 2PC Straight Shaft offers options to customize the paddle to the rider's specific needs:

• Smart-View Adjustable Ferrule - smooth connection with angle adjustment
• Lengths 191-200 cm - adjustable to the height of the rider and the type of boat
• Diameter of the mast - Optional Standard or Small Diameter Shaft (SDS)

Passengers or riders who often carry gear in limited space will especially appreciate the ability to spread out the paddle.
