The best paddle for kids or smaller paddlers because of the small shaft which helps a lot in gripping the paddle if your stuck in a big hole, the bent shaft is also ergonomically good for your shoulders. I used this paddle for three years and absolutely loved it and had no problems beside selling because I managed to beat it up without growing out of it.

This paddle rocks! It is the best whitwater kids padddle. It has a nice bent shaft to place your hands. It paddles very smoothly. If you were to buy a paddle for your kid, I would highly suggest to buy the werner twist bent shaft. It beats a lot of other paddles and your kid would be stylin.

The Werner Twist Bent Small Shaft Kayak Paddle offers a play boating design for smaller boaters who don’t want to sacrifice performance. The Twist's paddle shape is a smaller version of the Werner Player which is a design that has dominated the play waves and crosses over to river running with ease. Paired with Werner's Small Bent Shaft and the Twist becomes a powerful and easily controllable tool for smaller paddlers. The shaft of the Twist is now made completely of carbon to provide a lighter swing weight improving on an already great paddle. Comfortable indexing ensures your hands find home on the shaft with no problems.
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.
