Werner Skagit CF 2-Piece STR

Werner Skagit CF: Lightweight touring paddle with carbon fiber

Low angle and carbon blades

The Skagit CF model is designed specifically for a relaxed, low-angle touring paddling style. This style is much less taxing on the joints and allows the paddler to cover long distances with minimal fatigue. The medium-sized asymmetrical blades, with a surface area of 605 square centimeters, provide solid grip. They are made of injection-molded nylon heavily reinforced with carbon fiber, which gives them tremendous resistance to wear and impact.

Eco-friendly production and consistent coverage

The manufacturer places great emphasis on environmental sustainability with this model; as a result, a full 20 percent of the paddle is made from recycled materials that are incorporated during the carbon injection molding process. Just like with Werner’s premium models, you’ll find a prominent central rib (Dihedral) on the stroke side of the blade. This profile feature guarantees a completely smooth and fluid forward stroke and reliably prevents the paddle from spinning uncontrollably in the water.

Straight pole and adjustable coupler

The foundation of this two-piece model is a lightweight, straight shaft. The two sections are connected by the innovative Smart View Adjustable system. This patented connector is extremely simple and incredibly precise. There are no protruding external parts that could snag your gear on the boat. Thanks to this system, the paddle feels exceptionally solid and reliable in your hands—just like models made from a single piece.

Expert advice: The CF version with carbon reinforcement is just under 100 grams lighter than its fiberglass counterpart, the FG. This seemingly small difference in weight adds up to a huge energy savings during a full day of paddling. Paddling at a low angle is easier on your shoulders, so we recommend this model for long trips on calmer rivers and lakes.
