The Werner Sherpa Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle is a great mid-size all around paddle that excels at river running and creeking.  The Sherpa's blades are mid size, but give you a little more low angle power than the Werner Player. The Straight Shaft cuts down on the weight and price of the paddle and gives it a more traditional feel. This paddle is great for people interested in river running or creekboating, but want to get out a rip it up at there local playspot too!
Check out the Werner Sherpa Carbon paddle for a lighter, stiffer paddle.
