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.

• Performance Core carbon fiber blades are light, buoyant and exceptionally durable.
• Curved dihedral blade face reduces "flutter" and enhances maneuverability, helping you smoothly link strokes.
• Werner's patented Adjustable Ferrule System provides two-piece convenience without sacrificing strength. It also allows you to customize the blade offset or "feather angle."

Small shaft option is available. To know if you need a small diameter shaft, measure your hand from the base of the palm to the tip of your middle finger. If your measurement is 6 1/4" or smaller you should try a small shaft. You can also print the "Shaft Diameter Print Out" in the Links section and use it to measure your hand.
