Werner Ovation

Werner Ovation Full Carbon Touring

The Werner Ovation aims to provide the ultimate performance in gentle water touring. The design and construction of the Ovation is all about lightness and efficiency in order to achieve a paddling experience that is as close to effortless as possible. Even the drip rings are custom made for the paddle - small sized and light-weight for the kind of paddling where every gram counts.

The smooth back face and thinner edges of the blade allow for a quiet catch and effortless exit of the stroke. The relatively narrow blade exerts less rotational torque through the shaft so reducing the grip force needed during the power phase of each stroke. This adds to the effortless feel and can have a significant impact on reducing fatigue during long hours afloat.

The Smart View adjustable join is the most simple, precise fitting on the market providing the solid precise feel of a 1-piece paddle and nothing to snag your gear. 

Werner are quite clear that the brief for this paddle is focused on ultra-light therefore it is not as tough as the paddles in their more rugged Premium range such as the Camano or Shuna. If you like the idea of an ultra-light paddle then it makes sense to have both an Ovation and a tougher paddle on board so you can switch between them as conditions / scenarios dictate. An embroidered fleece paddle bag is provided with each paddle to help protect it during transport or storage.
