At Robin Hood Watersports, we see the Powerhouse as our go-to option for anyone looking for a mid-to-large blade that delivers a strong catch, dependable control and the power to drive through demanding whitewater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining a full-size 720 cm² fibreglass blade with a carbon bent shaft, this version brings together the proven performance of the Powerhouse blade with a shaped grip designed to provide a more natural hand position. It's an excellent option for paddlers tackling technical rapids, steep creeks and challenging river runs, particularly those who prefer a powerful, full-size blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePowerful, predictable whitewater performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Powerhouse's full-size fibreglass blades provide plenty of purchase on the water, allowing you to put real power into your strokes when accelerating, driving through currents or making precise manoeuvres. The asymmetrical blade shape and dihedral profile help promote smooth, stable forward paddling, while the reinforced blade spine contributes to stiffness, strength and control when linking strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Powerhouse is particularly well suited to river running and creeking, and is a strong choice for larger or well-conditioned paddlers who can make good use of its blade area. If you prefer a more substantial blade that gives you plenty to work with, it's a paddle well worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon bent shaft for an ergonomic grip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbon shaft keeps the paddle lightweight while providing the stiffness and strength expected from a premium whitewater paddle. Its ergonomic neutral bent design incorporates shaped grip positions to encourage a more natural hand and wrist position during the paddling stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA bent shaft won't automatically suit everyone, but paddlers who appreciate its hand positioning may find it more comfortable over long days on the water. Combined with the Powerhouse's large blades, it creates a powerful, responsive setup for paddlers who want performance without compromising on grip comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTranslucent blue fibreglass blades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibreglass blades offer a balance of performance, durability and value, with a striking translucent blue finish. Their full-size profile is designed for powerful whitewater paddling, while the blade's dihedral shape helps maintain a smooth and predictable feel through the stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis version combines those blue fibreglass blades with the carbon bent shaft, rather than the all-fibreglass construction of the standard bent-shaft model. It is a useful upgrade for paddlers who want the ergonomic benefits of a bent shaft with the weight and response of carbon shaft construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRight-hand control and feather angle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003eright-hand control\u003c\/strong\u003e version of the Werner Powerhouse. Your right hand acts as the control hand, maintaining its grip on the shaft as you rotate the paddle to adjust the blade angle during recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRight-hand control and feather angle are different things. The control hand determines which hand rotates the shaft, while the feather angle describes the angle between the two blades. Werner offers different feather configurations, so please check the options available for your chosen paddle length before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWerner identifies R45 as its most popular feather angle for river running and R30 as a popular choice for playboating.
