Sherpa 4 Piece Straight Shaft (Factory Second)

Watch almost all creek boat videos today, or footage with paddlers being swallowed by massive holes amidst canyon walls. Now what paddle do they have? Trusted on the hardest runs in the world, and those firing up the hardest line on their local run, are the Werner river running paddles. The Sherpa and its larger counterpart, the Powerhouse, offer Bomber reliability, tested and proven where it counts. 

Factory Seconds: From time to time, we come across a paddle that is not what we would classify as first quality.  Factory seconds are structurally sound but may have some sort of cosmetic issue, including scratches, porosity, fading, irregularities, and color variation.  Most of these imperfections will be found on the blades. We would rather see these paddles on the water instead of going to the landfill. 

We offer our standard 1-year warranty on these factory second models.  Due to their reduced price, we cannot offer any information or photos concerning the exact condition of the paddles.  We can accept returns on unused items within 30 days of purchase.  Customer is responsible for return shipping.

***Important: Please be careful not to mix up the shaft pieces.  Each shaft piece is custom-built to align specifically with its intended blade, indicated by white dots on each end.  If the pieces get mixed up, the paddle may become stuck together.

• Premium Performance uses material choice and manufacturing skill to allow for a perfect combination of light swing weight and stiffness. Fiberglass blade construction gives you a compromise between swing weight and value.

• Dihedral allows for smooth and stable forward paddling, a core philosophy for Werner.
• Custom shaped, low profile, reinforcement spine allows for enhanced blade maneuverability when linking several strokes and provides blade stiffness and overall strength.
