The Werner Surge is designed for whitewater paddlers who want plenty of power behind every stroke. At Robin Hood Watersports, we see it as a strong choice for paddlers who prefer a full-size blade and want a positive catch when driving through rapids, accelerating out of eddies or making powerful manoeuvres on the river.
Its 725 cm² fibreglass blades provide plenty of purchase on the water, while the increased blade-to-shaft offset encourages a more vertical stroke through the power phase. This helps you engage the blade positively and put energy into the water when it matters most.
Full-size blades for powerful whitewater paddling
The Surge is particularly well suited to larger, stronger or well-conditioned paddlers who can make good use of its full-size blades. Its asymmetrical blade shape and dihedral profile help deliver a smooth, stable forward stroke, while the shaped reinforcement spine contributes to blade stiffness, strength and manoeuvrability when linking strokes.
Whether you're river running, creeking or tackling demanding rapids, the Surge offers a powerful, dependable feel. If you want a large blade with a strong catch, it is well worth considering.
Reliable fibreglass construction
The fibreglass blades combine stiffness and durability with a practical swing weight, while the straight fibreglass shaft offers a balance of strength and flex. Werner's construction is designed to provide dependable performance without making the paddle unnecessarily harsh to use over repeated strokes.
The high-visibility Riot finish gives the paddle a distinctive look on the water.
Right-hand control and feather angle
This is the right-hand control version. Your right hand controls the rotation of the shaft as you adjust the blade angle during recovery. Right-hand control is separate from feather angle, which describes the angle between the blades.
Check the available feather options when choosing your paddle. Werner's R45 configuration is popular for river running, while R30 is commonly chosen for playboating.
