The Werner Player Small Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle is a popular choice for playboaters with smaller hands who want the Player's proven power, responsiveness and light weight, but find the regular shaft diameter too big. The Small Shaft Player still comes with the regular Player's mid size, down turned blades which enter the water quickly for more initial power, but don't get in the way for freestyle moves. The small diameter shaft gives small handed paddlers a more ergonomic grip to reduce fatigue and improve control. This paddle will make any playspot feel like home.
To know if you need a small diameter shaft, measure your hand from the base of the palm to the tip of your middle finger. If your measurement is 6 1/4" or smaller you should try a small shaft.
If you are looking for a similar blade size for river running check out the Werner Twist.
