Werner Ikelos Carbon Paddle

O2GearShop.com (Spring 2009)

The Ikelos is an aggressive high-angle design for paddlers who demand great power and bite for fitness paddling, racing or athletic touring.

Features:

• Adjustable Ferrule System allows elegant adjustment of feathering angle from 0° - 75° right or left in 15° increments
• Blade design with ribless back smooths the sculling stroke; asymmetrical dihedral shape delivers a flutter-free stroke for less fatigue
• Blades and shaft are constructed using high-quality, continuous-weave carbon fiber for an exceptionally light weight-to-strength ratio
• Carbon fiber shaft is ultra-lightweight and offers a bit of flex for paddling comfort
• Carbon fiber/foam-core blades create a unique profile that enters and exits the water quietly and adds buoyancy for a light feeling stroke
• Drip rings help keep hands and lap dry
• Made in USA.
• Remarkably light swing weight reduces overall fatigue on long paddling excursions
• Ridge along the grip area creates comfortable hand contact with the shaft, maximizing user's ability to control the stroke with a light grip
• Stiff nature of carbon fiber enhances energy transfer and lightens swing weight
