Werner Ikelos Foam-Core Paddle

High Angle Powerful Touring Paddle

The Ikelos from Werner Paddles, represents the most advanced paddle technology to create perhaps their best touring/sea kayaking paddle. With a hidden foam core that offers a buoyant blade to provide effortless paddling strokes, support whilst bracing and also ensures the paddle finds the surface whilst rolling.

The outer surface of the blade construction and shaft is carbon fibre to provide strength, less flutter, higher performance due to less flex and also a significant weight reduction for longer journeys. The smooth rear face allows for a cleaner entry and exit from the water for an effortless, elegant feel to promote smooth forward paddling.

Available on either a straight or neutral-bent shaft, and in a range of lengths to suit different height paddlers and boat length/width’s. The Ikelos, as with all the Werner’s touring range, is available as a 2-part split so it can be taken apart for easy storage or transportation. The simple-to-use ferrule system provides the paddler with an easy to view feather angle, and can be adjusted quickly out on the water to suit left or right-handed paddlers and adjust the feather when required.

For those looking for the same paddle, but with a mid-sized blade then perhaps look at the Werner Cyprus.
