The Werner Strike is a whitewater paddle with laminated blades. The paddle is identical to the Werner Surge, but has smaller paddle blades. With the upstream sheet, even more train can be brought to the sheet. The fiberglass laminate with the central foam core rib ensures a very stiff blade. The two sides of the leaf to the right and left of the foam rib are oriented in a V-shape. With this technology from aircraft construction, the blade is stabilized along the axis of the shaft. This allows the blade to be pulled without fluttering - even with a strong paddling arm. Werner's fiberglass blade is known for its resistance to buckling and breaking, but wears out evenly when it comes into contact with stones.
The fiberglass shaft combines low weight with light flex. In the event of stone contact, the shaft cushions part of the blow to the wrists. The Werner Strike is also available with a narrow shaft. Particularly popular with many paddlers.
On request, the Werner Strike is also available with an ergo shaft made of carbon
