Werner's New Spanker and Compulsion

Taking to the beach and the surf in a different craft - Werner Paddles has now created two paddles that boast the same blade design and material features that make Werner Paddles the world’s leading kayak and canoe paddle manufacturer. The Spanker and the Compulsion are now available for Stand Up Surf and Outrigging for Ultimate Paddle Performance.

About Performance Core Products

Our Performance Core lines combine all of our most advanced designs and technology to offer you ultimate paddle performance.

With the right amount of volume our technical performance core design creates a profile that displaces water for a significantly lighter, buoyant feel on the water. The added buoyancy is exceptional for enhancing rolls in aerated water, stable bracing, and long paddle outings. The smooth back profile increases paddle performance by allowing water to flow uninterrupted during maneuvering strokes for smooth fluid control.

For added durability we mold a layer of Dynel around the edge and double layer in the tip where paddles are prone to abuse. For the varying demands of whitewater we include an impact resistant layer of Kevlar.

ferrule care

You can keep your Adjustable Ferrule System working at peak performance by following three simple steps.

Step 1. After every use take your paddle apart and rinse both sides inside and out with fresh water.

Step 2. Store your paddle hanging apart with blades up.

Step 3. NEVER use a lubricant on your ferrule!

Our ferrules don’t like lubricants but they love lots of water!
