Werner Shuna Kayak Paddle

The Shuna is specifically designed for high-angle paddling. Its mid-sized blades are shaped to provide a powerful, efficient catch, making it ideal if you prefer a more vertical stroke style.

The adjustable ferrule system allows you to easily change the feather angle of your blades. You can customize the offset to your preference, which helps reduce wind resistance and wrist strain during longer sessions.

Yes, the fiberglass laminate construction is quite robust. While it is not as bombproof as carbon or specialized whitewater paddles, it is built to handle the rigors of coastal cruising, light surf, and rocky launch points.

The dihedral shape—which features a ridge down the center of the blade—encourages water to flow evenly off both sides. This design significantly reduces blade flutter, resulting in a smoother, more stable forward stroke.

Werner’s ferrule systems are known for their tight tolerances and reliability. When properly locked, the two-piece connection feels solid and secure, mimicking the feel of a one-piece paddle without sacrificing portability.

At 782 grams (27.75 oz), the Shuna is lightweight enough to minimize fatigue during long days on the water. It strikes a great balance between being light enough for performance and durable enough for daily use.
