Ikelos Carbon Fiber Kayak Paddle from Werner Paddles

Published by the Editors at Activitygo.com on June 25, 2009

All equipment is not equal, and the Werner Ikelos is no exception. The Ikelos is just a fantastic paddle. The bent shaft model weighs only 751g, is extremely durable, and very fast.

I have shown the Ikelos to dozens of people over the last several months and the first question they ask is where to get one. The Ikelos, like most Werner paddles, has an adjustable ferrule with a very easy to use design, making adjustments to the feather simple.

The large blades and high angle design of the Ikelos makes move your kayak very fast. Proper fit is important to prevent any unnecessary fatigue.

The Ikelos retails for over $400 so it isn't the cheapest paddle on the market, but you get what you pay for and the Ikelos was worth every penny.
