Werner Ikelos Bent-Shaft Carbon Paddle

The Ikelos is an aggressive high-angle design for paddlers who demand greater power and bite for fitness paddling, racing or athletic touring. Carbon neutral bent-shaft naturally aligns wrists for immediate comfort and reduced strain. Carbon fiber/foam core blades create a unique profile that enters and exits the water quietly while adding buoyancy for a lighter feeling stroke. Blade design with ribless back allows for a smoother sculling stroke; asymmetrical dihedral shape delivers a flutter-free stroke for less fatigue. Ridge along the grip area creates comfortable hand contact with the shaft, maximizing ability to control the stroke while maintaining a light grip. Adjustable Ferrule System allows elegant adjustment of feathering angle from 0-75 degrees right or left in 15-degree increments. Remarkably light swing weight reduces overall fatigue on long paddling excursions. Drip rings help keep hands and lap drier.
