Taking its name from the Greek word for "best," the Kalliste is Werner's best paddle for low-angle paddlers. Designed for touring kayaks, it features carbon blades for lightweight, durable performance and a bent carbon shaft to reduce weight and strain on our wrists and hands. The mid-sized blades balance efficiency with some power, so we can keep up relaxed paddling for hours. If the wind and water conditions change, the Smartview ferrule lets us adjust our feathering angle in 15-degree increments in either direction to limit wind drag or catch some wind when it's at our back.
