With the Werner Strike whitewater paddle, the manufacturer fulfils a long-standing customer wish: a fibreglass paddle in proven Werner quality with forward-offset blades. This means the blade is not in line with the shaft but positioned a few centimetres forward. This gives you earlier pressure on the blade, allows you to paddle with a steeper stroke and therefore generates more forward drive.
We recommend the Werner Strike for smaller paddlers. Everyone else might want to take a look at the larger Surge.
Due to the smaller blade area, the Strike is also optionally available with a thinner shaft for smaller hands.

The Strike is available in the following shaft variants:
