Description
The Sherpa’s blades are mid size, but give you a little more low angle power than the Werner Player. The Straight Shaft cuts down on the weight and price of the paddle and gives it a more traditional feel. This paddle is great for people interested in river running or creekboating, but want to get out a rip it up at there local playspot too!

RIVER RUNNING
With a more pronounced tip and more surface area above the center of the blade, this design is optimized for a better forward stroke. So for the core elements of river running, pulling yourself through or over holes and drops, breaking in and out of current and ferrying across current, these blades are your best choice. The best white water boaters in the world believe in our designs. Werner’s white water designs have a slight dihedral for smooth vertical maneuvering strokes. Note we also flatten the back face spine to aid in these strokes.
