this paddle is unique because it offers great torque in big water and precision while creeking. the grip on this is made so your wrists don't get arthritis and you still have all the power of a straight shaft. it transfers well between river running and playboating and is very light wait and durable. it really is worth the investment

This is the best paddle i have ever owned. It is light, durable, Perfect for all around paddling. I use it for playboating, Creeking and everyday river running. I am very impressed with power you get from this mid sized blade.
The Werner Stikine Bent Shaft Paddle is the ultimate mid-size creek and river running paddle. The Stikine's blades are the same medium size as the Sherpa's, but use Werner's 'Performance Core' technology to create a paddle that feels weightless in the water. The mid-size blades are evenly balanced and powerful throughout every paddle stroke and fit a wide variety of paddlers. The Neutral Bent Shaft allows for proper paddling ergonomics to give you the edge you need to hit your line. Looking for other Werner Performance Core Paddles?
