Favorite River Paddle
"The Trance 85 is officially my new favorite paddle. I used to love the Legend, but the Trance has officially won my heart! As a professional Whitewater Stand Up Paddle athlete, I mostly use this paddle on rivers and in rapids. I love how lightweight it is. It literally feels like I'm paddling with a feather. I even found that my cadence got faster because I can get the paddle out of the water with more ease and grace. When I first started paddling, I thought you needed to have a wide blade in order to go faster or to help you brace in rapids. Unfortunately, this lead to shoulder problems and a frustration of not feeling like I could keep up in races. But, after doing a few ACA SUP Courses, I learned that a heavier paddle with a wider blade is not better. You want a light paddle and a narrow blade so you can recover quickly and spend as little time in the water as possible. Now that I've switched over to Werner, my shoulders are happier and I'm faster on the river than ever. Overall, this paddle does it all for me and I couldn't be happier with it's performance! Thanks Werner for making such good paddle for rivers, lakes and oceans! I'm TEAM WERNER for life!"
