Werner Powerhouse Shaft

This paddle is designed for experienced, well-conditioned paddlers tackling demanding whitewater. Because it features a full-sized blade, it requires significant strength to use effectively over long sessions, making it less ideal for those just starting out.

The fiberglass construction strikes a practical balance between weight and durability. It offers a lighter swing weight than plastic alternatives while maintaining the stiffness needed for efficient energy transfer, providing a high-value option for serious river runners.

The dihedral shape features a ridge down the center of the blade, which allows water to flow smoothly off both sides. This design promotes stable, predictable forward strokes and reduces flutter, helping you maintain control in turbulent water.

No, this is a one-piece, fixed-length oar. It is built for maximum structural integrity and stiffness, which means it cannot be adjusted or broken down into multiple pieces for transport.

The Powerhouse is engineered for challenging whitewater environments. Its reinforcement spine and robust construction are specifically designed to handle the high-impact forces encountered on technical river runs.
