Werner Strike STR 2part

Product detailed description

Werner Strike - key features

Werner Strike is a paddle designed for technical descents and longer paddling trips. With smaller blades and an optimized shape, it provides an efficient stroke and easy handling, ideal for challenging maneuvers in rapids and long days on the river. Its quality construction, light weight and ergonomics make the Strike a reliable partner for ambitious riders.

Sheet design and shot characteristics

Paddle leavesWerner Strike are smaller than the Surge model, but have the same forward shape for a strong bite right at the start of the movement (catch). The dihedral profile of the blade directs water flow and eliminates unwanted vibrations, ensuring a smooth and controlled bite. With a surface area of 685 cm², they are the ideal choice for riders who prefer a higher frequency of shots and less strain on the joints.

Construction and materials

Werner Strike is made of proven materials that combine durability and excellent response during the shot. The paddle combines:

• Fibreglass sheets - impact-resistant, long-lasting even in frequent use in rapids
• Straight fibreglass core - optimum flexibility to reduce fatigue and maintain control
• Dihedral - patented leaf shape for a stable, flutter-free shot
• Smart-View Adjustable Ferrule - Precise, tool-free, threadless connection

The paddle is available in colourGradient Galaxy.
