Werner Kalliste Foam Core

Lightweight Foam Core Performance Touring Paddle

The Werner Kalliste has performance foam core blades which have an exceptionally clean and efficient feel on the water and offer silky smooth strokes that make paddling all day long feel effortless. Foam Core Blades are more buoyant than standard blades and great for rolling.

The Kalliste is a great choice for kayakers who enjoy effortless touring be that a quick hour on local waters or covering many miles on multi-day expeditions. The blades offer gentle power that increases gradually through the stroke and provides a smooth easy feel while also giving plenty of acceleration if needed. Designed predominantly for low angle use they also perform well for higher angle strokes you might need on lively waters.

The relatively narrow blade design reduces rotational torque through the shaft so in most situations you will find you only need a light grip which can significantly reduce wrist and hand fatigue on longer trips. The other impact of this shape is that it pretty much eliminates flutter even in very turbulent waters while still providing plenty of power if you need to get a move on.
