Werner Rio 4 piece paddle
The Rio paddle offers an advanced river running blade design at a lower price, ideal for beginners, starting to paddle whitewater.
Key features:
A higher surface area above the centre line on the blade makes for a great river running paddle that also helps to increase the efficiency of your forward paddling.
An impact and wear resistant blade
Injection moulded nylon blade, reinforced with fibreglass.
Cost effective safety paddle, easy to pack down.
Blade Dihedral
The Dihedral blade shape was created to direct water to flow evenly off each side of the blade, creating a smooth and stable stroke. It allows for smooth and stable forward paddling, a core philosophy for Werner.
Asymmetrical Blade
Asymmetrical kayak blades are designed for a balanced forward stroke by reducing the flutter on each stroke.


Fibreglass Shaft
Built for the rigors of the whitewater environment, Werners fibreglass shafts have the highest level of strength.
