Werner Powerhouse Right Hand Straight Glass Kayak Paddle Blue
Werner Powerhouse Right Hand Straight Glass Kayak Paddle Blue
The Werner Powerhouse is a brilliant choice for whitewater paddlers who want a paddle with a substantial blade and plenty of power behind every stroke. At Robin Hood Watersports, we see it as the go-to option for anyone looking for a mid-to-large blade that offers a strong catch, dependable control and the ability to make powerful strokes when the river demands it.
Whether you're working your way down technical rapids, driving through a powerful eddy line or tackling challenging creeks, the Powerhouse gives you the blade area to put plenty of energy into the water. Its full-size 720 cm² fibreglass blade is designed with a balanced dihedral profile to promote smooth, stable forward paddling, helping you maintain a positive, predictable feel as you link strokes together.
Powerful, predictable and built for whitewater
The Powerhouse combines a full-size fibreglass blade with a straight fibreglass shaft, offering an effective balance of power, strength and flex. Werner's carefully shaped reinforcement spine adds blade stiffness and strength while its low-profile design helps the blade move cleanly when linking strokes and making adjustments on the river.
It's a paddle for paddlers who appreciate having plenty of blade to work with. The Powerhouse is particularly well suited to river running and creeking, and is a strong option for larger or well-conditioned paddlers who can make good use of its blade area. It is also worth considering if you simply prefer a more substantial blade rather than a smaller, lower-resistance alternative.
Fibreglass construction with a comfortable feel
The fibreglass blade combines a durable laminate construction with a lightweight swing weight, while the straight fibreglass shaft is designed to balance stiffness and strength with some flex. That flex can help make repeated powerful strokes feel less harsh on the body, without sacrificing the positive response you want from a whitewater paddle.
The latest version features a translucent blue blade finish. The paddle's design and performance remain unchanged, so you get the same proven Powerhouse platform in a fresh new colour.
Choosing your Powerhouse
The Powerhouse is available with different paddle lengths, fixed feather angles and shaft diameters, allowing you to choose a setup that suits your paddling style and hand size.
- Length: Choose the appropriate paddle length for your height, boat width and paddling style.
- Feather angle: Werner identifies R45 as its most popular choice for river running, while R30 is popular for playboating.
- Shaft diameter: Standard and small shaft options are available to suit different hand sizes.
- Construction: One-piece straight shaft design with a fibreglass blade and fibreglass shaft.
If you're unsure which length or configuration is right for you, we're happy to help. Choosing the right paddle is about more than just your height; your boat, paddling style and personal preference all play a part.
At Robin Hood Watersports, we've spent decades helping paddlers choose equipment that suits the way they actually paddle. If you're looking for a powerful, dependable whitewater paddle with a full-size blade, the Werner Powerhouse is one we'd certainly recommend considering.
Right-hand control
This is the right-hand control 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. Choose this version if you're accustomed to right-hand control paddling.
If you're unsure whether you need right- or left-hand control, we're happy to help you choose the right setup.
