The Werner Corryvreckan 2-Piece Bent Carbon Shaft Kayak Paddle combines the powerful performance of Werner's largest premium high-angle touring blade with the ergonomic benefits of a neutral bent shaft. Its full-size 721 cm² fibreglass blades provide plenty of purchase on the water, making it an excellent choice for strong, well-conditioned paddlers who want to accelerate quickly, drive through lively coastal conditions or cover ground at pace.
At Robin Hood Watersports, we'd recommend the Corryvreckan to experienced sea kayakers, coastal paddlers and kayak anglers who appreciate a powerful blade and a responsive feel. The bent carbon shaft makes this a particularly appealing option for those who want an ergonomic grip alongside the power of a full-size blade.
Full-size blades for powerful strokes
The Corryvreckan's 721 cm² fibreglass blades are designed to move plenty of water, delivering a powerful catch and strong acceleration when you need it. The asymmetrical blade shape and dihedral profile help promote smooth, stable forward paddling, while the low-profile reinforcement spine adds stiffness and strength without unnecessarily restricting blade manoeuvrability.
This makes the Corryvreckan well suited to coastal play, rock gardens, lively water and high-angle paddling where a powerful, responsive stroke is valuable. It is also an option for fit, experienced paddlers who want to maintain a strong pace over distance.
The large blade is an important consideration when choosing this paddle. It rewards paddlers who can comfortably make use of its blade area, but may feel unnecessarily demanding if your priority is relaxed, low-angle touring over long distances. For that style of paddling, a smaller-bladed touring paddle may be a better fit.
Carbon bent shaft for ergonomic comfort
The carbon shaft combines low weight with stiffness and strength. Werner's neutral bent shaft features shaped grip positions designed to align more naturally with the hands and wrists, helping provide a comfortable, controlled grip through repeated strokes.
A bent shaft is a matter of personal preference, but it is well worth considering if you value its ergonomic grip positions, particularly when paddling with power over extended periods. Combined with the Corryvreckan's full-size blades, it creates a premium setup for paddlers who want power, control and a responsive feel.
Two-piece construction with Smart-View adjustment
The Corryvreckan's Smart-View adjustable ferrule allows the paddle to separate into two pieces for easier transport and storage. When assembled, the ferrule is designed to provide a secure, precise connection with a feel close to that of a one-piece paddle.
The adjustable system allows you to change the feather angle to suit your technique and conditions. It also lets you configure the paddle for either right-hand or left-hand control, so you're not committed to one handed setup when purchasing.
Control hand and feather angle are separate settings. Your control hand is the hand that maintains its grip on the shaft while the other rotates during recovery. Feather angle describes the angle between the two blades. Werner's Smart-View system allows adjustment in 15-degree increments, up to the available range of the ferrule.
Choosing the right paddle length
The best paddle length depends on your height, kayak width, stroke style and personal preference. High-angle paddlers often use a shorter paddle than low-angle paddlers, but the right length depends on the combination of paddler and boat.
If you're unsure which length is right for you, we're happy to help. At Robin Hood Watersports, we'd rather help you choose a paddle that suits the way you actually paddle than recommend a length based on height alone.
