Just got done with my first session with the advantage. I was very surprised at how much power i was able to get from my stokes and how responsive the paddle is. I have been using a really flexy paddle before and I like how the advantage is much stiffer, however, still gives a little when you take a really hard stroke. I am looking forward to trying out some of the others in the werner line as well. The Advantage is going to be my new all around paddle.

This is my favorite paddle out of the CKS line up. I am about 200 lbs, and like having a paddle that has some surface area to brace with. Learning to surf, and paddle downriver is easier with a bigger blade. It is also really powerful for paddling big stand up boards like the Laird 12'1. A big board needs a big paddle. The adjustable length is nice too.
I've been using a cheap SUP paddle, I won't mention the name, and it is not worth it. After a week of Pacific coast surfing with the Advantage, its out with the old, in with the new. This paddle is really powerful. It pulls a lot of water. I would recommend it for bigger, stronger paddlers who want the maximum bite from a paddle. It's a Werner so you know its bombproof. It's also adjustable by 4 or 5 inches, so you can tour, paddle whitewater or surf in comfort.

The Werner Advantage is made of Werner's traditional bomber fiberglass layup and provides unparalleled performance on the water. The Advantage with Premium laminate fiberglass construction has a balanced blade design which is smooth and powerful. Great shape for straight ahead tracking. The fiberglass oval index shaft adds comfort, control and is lightweight, stiff and durable.
Low Cadence: (Formally Touring)
Low cadence paddling is popular with stronger, well conditioned paddlers who like power and responsiveness in each stroke. The larger blade surface area of low cadence paddles is ideal for cruising and maintaining a higher top end speed by providing greater resistance to each stroke.
