Powerhouse 4 Piece Straight Shaft

The Werner Powerhouse 4 Piece Straight Shaft is a whitewater kayak paddle that also doubles as an emergency kayak paddle. This split kayak paddle features a four piece design so it will easily stow away in even the smallest of river running kayaks. Whilst whitewater kayaking, it is highly recommended to carry an emergency kayak paddle, as if you do capsize and loose your kayak paddle, you will still need to be able to finish the trip and get off the river safely.

Werner Paddles have designed the Powerhouse as a premium level whitewater kayak paddle. It features a 4 piece design which enables it to be made into a 4 piece kayak paddle. The paddle shaft is made of fibreglass and features a central joint. The shaft is also ovalized so the grip is well defined, this helps to ensure your hands align correctly with the paddle blades. The two other joint sections are located at the ends of the shaft, adjacent to the paddle blades. The paddle blades are asymmetric in shape, they also feature a glass-fibre construction and are "full sized" blades for maximum power. These paddle blades also get progressively thicker on the ends for added durability. The split joints all feature a simple push button design, which can be easily operated even in the coldest of conditions.
