Designed with direct input from Dane Jackson and some of the best paddlers in the world, the Werner Covert carbon straight shaft whitewater kayak paddle is the latest modern design for downriver racing. The midsized downriver blade shape moves fast in all types of water, from backyard laps to the hardest races in the world.

• Midsized downriver race-inspired blade shape for smaller paddlers
• Increased blade to shaft offset gives a more powerful catch and more verticality through the power phase
• The blade is narrow at the throat to reduce contact, then full from middle to end to catch water
• Asymmetrical blade shape balances your stroke, reducing torque or twisting
• Dihedral allows for smooth & stable forward paddling
• Buoyant profile with slender edges reduces resistance during entry and exit
• Optimized shaft flex and strength decrease overall fatigue on your body for longer races
• Neutral bent shaft aligns your wrists in a more ergonomic position, reducing fatigue
• The blade is inserted into the shaft at the throat for a seamless look and feel
• Handcrafted in Washington State, USA
• 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Please Note:

• Design features that make the Covert paddle fast also make for a unique feel in your hands. Bracing and rolling are different. The Covert is not intended to be an all-around paddle for beginner or intermediate paddlers.
• The Covert is an advanced race paddle, its unique design characteristics make it light and fast. Please look to Werner’s Premium Fiberglass paddles such as the Strike to handle more abuse.
