Description
In honor of the man who started it all; the Werner Sr. Edition Ovation is the culmination of decades of experience on the water and in the R&D room, working with composite materials and construction. The feeling on the water is fitting of the name on this Werner kayak paddle. The design and construction of the Ovation make it far and away Werners best paddling low-angle touring model, however that does come with reduced strength. If more rugged paddling and the high potential for rescue situations are in your future, compare this model to the Kalliste. The bent shaft on this kayak paddle ensures more ergonomic strokes for longer days on the water.SpecificationsShaft OptionPiecesWeight GramsWeight OuncesLength RangeStraight1 Piece461g.16.25oz.210cm to 260cm in 5 cm increments.Straight2 Piece521g.18.5oz.210cm to 260cm in 5 cm increments.Bent1 Piece577g.20.5oz.210cm to 240cm in 5cm incrementsBent2 Piece577g.20.5oz.210cm to 240cm in 5cm incrementsFeaturesUltimate performance, to a higher level with the Ovation.
