Werner Kalliste 2 Piece Straight Shaft Carbon Kayak Paddle 230

[ kuh - list - uh ]

Greek, meaning the "best", which describes its feeling on the water.

The Kalliste is our most advanced low-angle paddle, with our best paddling design and construction features. You’ll feel exceptionally light, buoyant strokes while the smooth back face gives a quiet entrance and exit from the water. The Kalliste is the smart choice for those touring with a low-angle style of paddling and wanting the conservative yet powerful feel of a mid-sized blade.

• Ultimate performance brings together all of our most advanced designs.
• Mid-sized blades are an ideal fit for the great majority of average size paddlers.
• The volume of the buoyant, full carbon, blades creates an exceedingly light feel for effortless and confident strokes.
• Dynel® blade edges use a composite roping material, that is impact and abrasion resistant. This, along with a stronger design and construction, makes the Kalliste the choice over our Ovation model for more rugged paddling enviornments.
• Dihedral allows for smooth and stable forward paddling, a core philosophy for Werner.
• Smooth back face makes for cleaner entry and exit of your strokes and an elegant feel on the water.
• Optimized flex and strength. Choose our carbon straight shaft in Standard Diameter or Small Diameter.
• The Smart View Adjustable ferrule is the most simple, precise fitting on the market. The solid feel of a 1-piece paddle and nothing to snag your gear. (US Patent # 6881111 )
• Although our Ultimate performance paddles are far and away our best paddling, their unique design characteristics and materials do not make them our most impact resistant. Look to our Premium paddles for the highest impact resistance.
