Werner Sho-Gun 1-Piece Straight Shaft R30 Whitewater Kayak Paddle
Like its namesake Japanese military rulers, the Sho-Gun dominates the river.The Werner Sho-gun whitewater paddle is head and shoulders Werner's premier downriver whitewater paddle. For serious whitewater paddlers eager to be at the top of their game.
Features
- Ultimate performance brings together all of Werner's most advanced designs

- Dihedral allows for smooth and stable forward paddling, a core philosophy for Werner
- With whitewater specific reinforcement channels, its low-profile back face design allows for a quieter catch and effortless exit of the stroke while maintaining strength
- Dynel® edges and Kevlar® reinforcement protect the paddle from the rigors of the whitewater environment
- Full sized blades are and ideal fit for larger, well-conditioned paddlers or those looking for more powerful strokes on shorter steeper rapids
- Optimized flex and strength. Choose our Bomber fiberglass Straight shaft in Standard Diameter or Small Diameter
- Although our Ultimate performance paddles are far and away our best paddling, their unique design characteristics and materials do not make them our most impact resistant. Look to our Premium paddles for the highest impact resistance
