Gear Review

New Products @ PADDLEexpo 2015 – Werner Paddles, Ondachi

The Odachi [OH-DA-CHEE] down river/creek race paddle from Werner Paddles is fitting of its name.  The long sword used by the samurai while on horseback, an Odachi was a specialized tool that was difficult to build and meet the high standards needed for battle.   This new paddle is not a lightweight version of our river runners, but designed from the ground up for race and with painstaking efforts, brings our Bomber reliability to those pulling on a race jersey.

 Features

– Increased shaft to blade offset to allow for a longer catch and more vertical position though the power phase of the stoke.

– Longer blade length with a slightly scooped tip to give more leverage and power.

– Pronounced dihedral for more blade stability down the course.

– Optimized manufacturing techniques to remain “Bomber” but at lower weights than ever before in Werner whitewater.

Specs

·         Blade Surface area-735” inches

·         Blade size-48cm long x 20cm wide
