Werner - Stikine Straight Shaft

[ sti - keen ]

Named after one of Canada's most legendary Class V wilderness runs, the Stikine paddle is built to match the river's reputation. This is Werner's most advanced whitewater kayak paddle, engineered for paddlers who push hard in serious conditions and need gear that holds up when things get consequential.

The full carbon blade is buoyant by design, which matters most when you're rolling or bracing in aerated, airy whitewater where a paddle can feel like it's grabbing at nothing. Low-profile back face geometry keeps the catch quiet and the exit clean, while reinforcement channels built into the blade maintain structural integrity without adding unnecessary weight. Dihedral keeps your strokes smooth and predictable even when the water isn't.

Durability is built in at every point of contact. Dynel edge reinforcement and Kevlar construction give the Stikine Werner's Bomber-grade toughness against the rocks, hydraulics, and hard use that define real river running. The mid-sized blade hits a sweet spot for most paddlers, offering enough surface area for powerful bracing and rolling without creating the kind of resistance that grinds you down on longer rapids. Available as a one-piece straight shaft in standard or small diameter.
