Solid, dependable, and great blade shape with a balance of power and finese. What more could a creeker ask for.

I just recently switched to this paddle and I love it. The straight shaft lets you feel the water that you are interacting with. Great control with absolutely no fluttering. Precise entry and exit from the water. The extra money for the carbon fiber adds to the lifespan.
The Werner Powerhouse Carbon Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle is Werner's largest most powerful River Running blade design with the added benefits of full carbon construction. The Powerhouse excels on creeks and rivers and is ideal for larger or well conditioned paddlers. The blades are big allowing for a powerful stroke from beginning to end and the Straight Shaft cuts down on weight, giving the paddler a traditional feel. The carbon construction cuts even more weight and increases paddle stiffness for more control and efficiency. This is the perfect balance between power, durability and weight!
