Werner Cyprus Carbon Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle - The Cyprus 2-Piece Carbon Core Kayak Paddle by Werner emphasizes versatility and stability while enhancing your paddling experience. The Cyprus has a high angle design that fits the widest range of paddlers who want a buoyant paddle with great power, extremely stable bracing and rolling, powerful catch and smooth linking strokes. The Smart-View adjustable ferrule is an elegant, easy to use design and it has an internal gear system for precise fit. A viewing window shows you your offset and it adjusts feather left or right in 15 degree increments so you can determine what works best for you, and the low profile button looks and feels like a 1-piece paddle. It is recommended for high angle paddling which is typically a more aggressive style of paddling with a faster cadence and a larger variety of strokes being used on each paddle outing. The high angle design has short wide blades for a powerful catch and stroke with a slight dihedral for smooth linking strokes. The paddle is kept at a high angle relative to the water and a faster cadence is used so it is best for linking a variety of maneuvering strokes. It is also good for lumpy water paddling in adverse conditions that include deep water waves, current and wind-blown confused water of all sizes while exposure to steep, dumping waves against the shoreline is limited and carried out with studied expertise. If you are looking for a paddle that won't disappoint you on your next water outing, look no further than the Cyprus 2-Piece Carbon Core Kayak Paddle by Werner.
