Werner Skagit FG 2-Piece STR

Werner Skagit FG: A touring paddle for a relaxed style

Low angle and medium-sized leaves

The Skagit 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, are perfectly suited for the widest range of paddlers and provide solid power with every stroke.

Durable materials and a central rib

The blades are injection-molded from durable nylon that is heavily reinforced with fiberglass. This combination ensures excellent impact and wear resistance while maintaining a pleasantly low weight during the stroke. As with Werner’s premium models, you’ll find a prominent central rib (Dihedral) on the leading edge of the blade, which guarantees a completely smooth forward stroke without any wobbling of the paddle in the water.

Carbon fiber pole and adjustable connector

The core of this two-piece paddle is a lightweight and sturdy shaft made of a carbon composite. It comes in a straight design, and you can choose between a standard or reduced grip diameter. The two sections are connected by the innovative Smart View Adjustable system. This patented connector is incredibly simple, extremely precise, and free of any protruding parts that could snag on your gear. Thanks to it, the paddle feels completely solid in your hands, as if it were made from a single piece.

Expert advice: Paddling with a low angle means that your upper hand remains below shoulder level during the stroke. It’s the ideal technique for enjoying the scenery all day long. We recommend regularly rinsing the Smart View Adjustable joint with clean water, especially if you use the paddle at sea or in a sandy environment; this will ensure it operates smoothly for many years.
