Product detailed description
Werner Covert 1 Piece Straight Shaft - Key Features
Developed in collaboration with the world's best kayakers like Dane Jackson, this model is designed for those who need maximum performance with minimum weight. The Covert is optimized for racing and creeking, with fast entry and excellent water feel. The straight blade gives the paddle clean power transfer and control.
Sheet design and shot characteristics
The blade is a smaller (650 cm²), forward placed blade - allowing immediate and powerful engagement in the water, ideal for high cadence and fast acceleration. Its lower drag makes it suitable for riders who prefer frequency and technical precision over raw power.
Construction and materials
- Carbon Fiber sheets - extremely light, stiff and durable for intensive use in rapids.
- 1-piece straight carbon composite mast - maximum strength and sensitivity in force transmission.
The whole construction is designed with the competition environment in mind - the paddle is stiff and very precise, but at the same time robust enough for heavy creek sections.
Variants and customisation
- Lengths - available in fixed lengths from 191 to 203 cm.
- Type of mast - straight shaft, 1-piece construction (not foldable).
- Leaf alignment - fixed according to factory specification (not adjustable).
As this is a racing model, customisation options are deliberately limited in favour of strength, light weight and performance.
What is it suitable for?
✅Whitewater races - optimized for precision, speed and low resistance.
✅Creeking - reliable even in difficult terrain with the need for fast manoeuvring.
✅Technical rapids - great manoeuvrability and quick reaction.
✅Aggressive paddling - for experts who prefer hard and direct power transmission.
✅High cadence - ideal for riders with less power but high technical precision.
For riders who prefer ergonomics and greater comfort, theCovert Bent Shaft.
