Werner Spanker Paddle lets me spank the rapids on the mighty Colorado River!

By Chris Tatsuno Ranked #79 - Stand-Up Paddle September 22, 2009

I have a ton of kayaking friends who swear by their Werner paddles. But, seeing as I can't stand to be at 'yakker' height off the river's surface, I found myself leaning towards an inflatable paddle board so I can join my friends on some river missions. The Spanker Paddle lives up to the outstanding reputation its 'yakkin' brethren have given the company's brand. I just took it on a 9-day raft trip down the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon, and its lightweight shaft and grip not only turned the flat water sections into a great workout, but the paddle helped me crush some big-water class III/IV rapids along the way! Very sturdy paddle that you can easily count on to handle whatever you can throw at it. I want to buy ten more and do a whole paddle-board river trip now!
