Werner Kalliste Bent Shaft Kayak Paddle

The Werner Kalliste Bent Shaft kayak paddle is all about efficiency and reducing fatigue. It is all carbon for light weight and stiffness, so it is efficient. Its bent shaft puts your wrists in a neutral position reducing wear on your wrists. Its buoyant blades help lift the blade out of the water for you, reducing fatigue. They also help rolling by floating flat to the surface. And it is a low angle paddle style paddle which is the least fatigue producing style. The Kalliste Bent Shaft will give you mile after mile of pleasurable kayaking.
