Werner Zen 85: Lightness and Harmony in Every Shot

Premium fiberglass and colorful design

The Zen paddle blades are a masterpiece. They’re made from premium fiberglass, which offers the perfect combination of stiffness and light weight during the stroke. The double-sided color design with a smooth gradient in an attractive Caribbean turquoise shade also looks absolutely stunning on the water. The slim, elongated shape of the 85-square-inch blade ensures a very smooth start to each stroke. This allows the paddler to maintain a much higher paddling frequency without unnecessary muscle fatigue. Furthermore, the elegant blade shape moves through the water with maximum naturalness and does not rub against the edge of the board.

Two-piece pole with carbon fiber reinforcement

The foundation of this model is a straight shaft made from a high-performance carbon blend. It provides the paddle with the necessary strength while retaining a slight flexibility that absorbs shocks and protects your joints during all-day use. The combination of a carbon-enriched shaft and fiberglass blades delivers an exceptionally lightweight feel at a very attractive price, allowing you to easily spend the entire day on the water without any trouble.

LeverLock Universal System

The two-piece design is connected by an integrated LeverLock mechanism located directly in the paddle head. This system offers smooth length adjustment over an impressive range of 40 centimeters (from 178 to 218 centimeters). It is available in a version with a standard shaft diameter as well as a Small Fit version with a reduced diameter. The Small Fit version, combined with a smaller blade, creates the perfect, ergonomic combination for women and paddlers with smaller hands.

Effective 10-step shift

The paddle features a well-designed 10-degree offset of the blade relative to the shaft. This angle keeps the blade in a more vertical position during the main power phase of the stroke, which maximizes speed on calm water while also providing excellent support in waves. Smooth handling is also aided by the legendary central rib (Dihedral), which stabilizes the blade and prevents it from rotating undesirably in your hands.

Expert advice: The two-piece Zen 85 paddle is a fantastic tool for covering long distances. The shorter shaft, labeled “Small Fit,” significantly contributes to proper technique and eliminates hand cramps for shorter paddlers. To ensure a long service life and smooth operation of the LeverLock mechanism, we recommend thoroughly rinsing both the internal system and the locking cable with clean fresh water after every paddle session, especially after paddling in the ocean. For maximum protection of this beautiful fiberglass blade during transport, we strongly recommend purchasing a padded case.
