Why We Like The Werner Kalliste 2-Piece Carbon Paddle

Small inefficiencies can add up to fatigue and pain on long paddling excursions. The Werner Straight-Shaft Kalliste Carbon 2-Piece Paddle is light and bouncy, so our strokes aren't squandered and paddling translates into propulsion. The light swing weight increases our endurance, and the combination of jaw-dropping geometry with a perky performance core creates a powerful mid-sized blade to take on-water abilities to a new level. The mid-sized Ultimate Performance blades keep the Kalliste light on the scales and heavy on paddling power. Carbon fiber weave covers the foam core at the heart of the paddle. Not only does this design minimize mass, but the foam core helps the blade float out on exit. The asymmetrical blade shape gives your low-angle stroke an immediate bite on the water the instant the tip slips in. Dihedral stabilizes the blade as we power through the stoke.


Since Werner didn't make the blades super-heavy, they also avoided having to add a spine in the shaft. Instead, the designers used light, stiff carbon fiber for the straight shaft. As a result of the light shaft and buoyant paddles, your energy input is maximized so we can paddle in pleasure all day long—and still have the strength to reel in a 40-inch striper after a bit of a tussle.

I am an intermediate level paddler that mostly kayaks on flatwater lakes with some calmer ocean trips, I have a Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145. I do have some occasional left wrist/thumb tendonitis and shoulder arthritis, as I am 63 years old. I've been paddling about 10 years. I have been out kayaking 150 times this year, so far, since we live on a lake and COVID has kept us home, which has not been so bad! This paddle is so light it's amazing, it has a powerful stroke and can really pull some water. It does sometimes have an odd "vibration/whooshing" sound when the paddle enters the water, maybe from the foam core, depending upon the blade angle and force used in the particular stroke, but I have gotten used to that and it no longer annoys me. I am a little afraid about hitting rocks in the water with the blade, and hesitant when pushing off the dock or shore with it because I'm afraid I'll break it, but have not had any problems. The lightness and efficiency of this paddle will help keep me kayaking for many more years. It is well worth the money.
