Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.

You guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

About this paddle

Whitewater

Show off your latest moves, like the Player you are.

The Player was developed alongside its larger counterpart the Side Kick and was a major innovation for play boaters — setting the standard with downturned blades. This Werner design gives immediate directional control in rudder and draw strokes, whether you're surfing or setting up today's most advanced tricks. On the wave or throwing down river, Werner's along for the ride.

Key Features

  • Downturned Blade Design — Delivers immediate directional control for rudder and draw strokes, purpose-built for play boating.
  • Premium Fiberglass Construction — A perfect balance of light swing weight and stiffness, with a great compromise between performance and value.
  • Dihedral Design — Promotes smooth, stable forward paddling — a core Werner philosophy.
  • Custom Reinforcement Spine — Low-profile spine enhances blade maneuverability when linking strokes, while adding stiffness and overall strength.
  • Mid-Sized Blade — An ideal fit for the great majority of average-size paddlers.
  • Strain-Free Design — Optimized flex and strength so your body stays fresh without sacrificing bomber reliability.
  • Brightly Colored Translucent Blade — High-visibility fiberglass laminate in Blaze.

Specifications

  • Shaft: Bent, 1-Piece
  • Weight: 1,049g (37 oz.)
  • Length Range: 185cm–200cm in 1cm increments
