The last thing you want when you're lining up a big drop is your shaft to snap before you roll over the lip, so put your trust in the Werner Powerhouse Four-Piece Fiberglass Paddle. Both the blade and shaft are made from Werner's bomber Premium Fiberglass, and the shaft employs a stainless steel button adjustment system to let you break the paddle into four sections and paddle with a 30-degree right-hand feather. Whether you opt to feather or not, the Powerhouse's angle of entry remains vertical, and the dihedral blade helps reduce twisting when you're really pulling. A four-piece construction lets you break this stick down into something travel-ready, so you can hit swollen Chilean rivers without worrying that your local paddle will snap and leave you tumbling backwards over the falls.
