Stand Up Paddling is one of the fastest growing paddlesports in the world. Part of the allure of SUP’ing is that the sport offers the combination of the simplicity of surfing, and the versatility of being able to travel on any type of water (rivers, ponds, lakes, oceans, swimming pools, etc). There are 2 essential items that you need for Stand Up paddling; a board and a paddle. Werner makes a  paddle for SUP’ers of all shapes, sizes and ability levels. Here is a review on three popular models of SUP paddles, which are all 10% off at CKS!

The Werner Carve

Specs:

Surface Area: 101 sq in
Blade Length x Width: 19 x 7.3 in
Weight: 907g/32oz
Adjustable Length: 74-78.5″, 78-82.5″, 82-86.5″, 86-90.5″

Besides being a great all around SUP paddle, the Carve is also a favored fitness and race paddle because the blade shape allows you to paddle with the blade partially submerged for quick, small resistance strokes. These quick strokes are what make the Carve a pleasure to paddle with because you actually realize how much quicker your moving in virtually every situation. So weather its big guys or small women, waves or distance, racing or fitness the Carve will work for anything and everything.

The Werner Carve

The Werner Advantage

Specs:

Surface Area:111 sq in
Blade Length x Width:19 x 8.75 in
Weight:936g/33oz
Adjustable Length:74-78.5″, 78-82.5″, 82-86.5″, 86-90.5″

The Advantage at 111 sq inches is Werner Paddles largest SUP blade option. For the bigger paddlers who enjoy the deeper strokes and bigger bracing area, The Advantage offers maximum power and maximum durability. Your not going to find another adjustable length paddle on the market for $259 that even the largest of paddlers can rely on in heavy surf. The Advantage is also a great option for the down wind or down river enthusiast with a longer board and more efficient stroke-the larger blade will generate more speed while at the top end.

The Werner Advantage

The Werner Spanker

Specs:

Surface Area:106 sq in
Blade Length x Width: 19.5 x 9.25 cm
Weight:680g/24oz
Adjustable Length:74″-78.5″, 78″-82.5″, 82″-86.5″, 86″-90.5″

Light weight and full power. The Spanker gives you the best of both worlds. Foam Core blade with deep dihedral shape snatches the power right from the catch and the release has a sensation of jumping right out of the water. Picking up the pace with this stick is effortless and just like their
whitewater paddles these things are “BOMBER”!
