Werner Athena Carbon Paddle

Exceptionally quiet, light and buoyant, the Athena is the smart choice for smaller kayakers who have a low angle style of paddling. The sleek blades make touring feel almost effortless. The volume of the buoyant, full carbon, blade creates an exceedingly light feel for effortless and confident strokes. Curved dihedral blade face reduces flutter and enhances maneuverability, helping you smoothly link strokes. Werner's exclusive Smart ViewTM adjustable ferrule gives you a convenient two piece paddle that looks and feels like a one piece. The Smart View system lets you quickly and easily adjust the offset, or feather angle, of your paddle in 15 degree increments with right or left hand control. Small diameter shafts are available and recommended for paddlers whose hand from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger measures 6 12 or smaller.
