"Exactly what I wanted, shipped and arrived on time and perfect. First paddle on it was great, just adjusting to it from my previous paddle."
Description
Leading your charge down river, the Sho-Gun uses our most advanced technology in this river running paddle. As powerful as its name suggests, the rivers that paddlers take the Sho-Gun often need some aggression to navigate each horizon line. Decades of experience led us to the chosen paddle for many at the top of their game.

FEATURES
- Ultimate performance brings together all of our most advanced designs.
- The volume of the buoyant, full carbon, blade gives confidence for rolling and bracing, especially in aerated rapids.
- Dihedral allows for smooth and stable forward paddling, a core philosophy for Werner.
- With whitewater specific reinforcement channels, our low-profile back face design allows for a quieter catch and effortless exit of the stroke while maintaining strength.
- Dynel® edges and Kevlar® reinforcement protect the paddle from the rigors of the whitewater environment.
- Full sized blades are and ideal fit for larger, well-conditioned paddlers or those looking for more powerful strokes on shorter steeper rapids.
- Optimized flex and strength. Choose our Bomber fiberglass Straight shaft in Standard Diameter or Small Diameter.
- Although our Ultimate performance paddles are far and away our best paddling, their unique design characteristics and materials do not make them our most impact resistant. Look to our Premium paddles for the highest impact resistance.
- Feather Angle: R45 is our most popular in river running and R30 in play boating.

Hard to beat the Shogun
"My go-to paddle is hands down the Shogun! I have not found a paddle yet that combines durability, performance, and confidence like this paddle. The Shogun offers me a ton of power and perhaps my favorite aspect is that no matter where the paddle is in the water, I feel like I have a ton on catch and know exactly what it's going to do in any position. This can be pulling a boof stroke, rolling in a tough spot, getting trashed in a big hole, or keeping my stern squirt spinning around on my fifth spin. If you are a smaller paddler that doesn’t need the biggest and most powerful blade, the Sherpa will give you everything I mentioned above! I also absolutely love the Odachi for big water and racing, as well as the Double Diamond if I’m purely playboating."
Trustworthy Paddle
"This is a great paddle for everyday creeking/ river running and expedition paddling. I prefer the carbon blade both for feel and durability, and I trust it won't break and leave me hand paddling. I use it for everything except playboating."
High performance meets durability
"My go to paddle for when I need the optimal combination of power, performance and reliability. Has the blade shape and size I want when every stroke matters with the durability I need when doing multi-days or committing runs where a broken paddle is a setback for the whole group."
