Stand Up Paddles
Werner Advantage
As participation explodes in the Stand Up Paddle category, Werner is responding with new paddle designs that focus on the two aspects of the sport, touring and surfing.
The Advantage is a Premium fiberglass laminate construction blade with a modified tear drop shape designed to optimize straight ahead efficiency for touring.
The Carve consists of the same construction as the Advantage but the shape is smaller, longer and more slender, specifically designed for dynamic surfing and turning.
Both the Advantage and the Carve come with a fiberglass oval indexed shaft and ABS Palm-grip. Werner offers two shaft configurations. The 1-piece is the lightest weight option and is least expensive. The Adjustable length telescopes with four settings, each 1.5 inches apart; perfect for those individuals who move between touring and surfing.
What size paddle do I need?
Typically, you want to choose a paddle that is 8-10 inches longer than your total height. So, if you're 5'10" you'll want a 78-80 inch paddle. Sizing stand up paddles is easy once you know how to do it!
