The Werner Tybee FG 4-piece Paddle gives us a performance paddle at an introductory price. With a carbon shaft and fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades, it offers a light swing weight for the price, saving some energy on long day trips and short tours without blowing up our budget. The mid-sized, high-angle blades match a wide range of paddlers while the dihedral blade design allows for smooth and stable forward paddling. The 4-piece construction emphasizes packability and makes the Tybee an ideal spare paddle for expedition or coastal play paddlers.
