Werner - Rio Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle

The Werner Rio delivers dependable whitewater performance at an approachable price, making it an excellent choice for paddlers beginning their whitewater journey or anyone looking for a durable, reliable river-running paddle. Borrowing blade designs from Werner's premium lineup, the Rio provides smooth, efficient strokes with the durability to withstand seasons of river use.

Its mid-sized asymmetrical blades generate plenty of power for strong forward strokes while remaining easy on the shoulders, helping reduce fatigue during long days on the water. The fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades feature a dihedral shape that promotes clean, stable strokes with minimal flutter, while the same rugged fiberglass shaft used on Werner's premium paddles provides confidence in demanding whitewater conditions.
