I purchased this paddle for my sister who is just getting into kayaking and she's in love. I was blown away by how light it was when I received it. It's definitely going to do what it can to assist you in smooth pulls and longer river trips without destroying your shoulders . She's loving it.

Love my new paddle! Our sit-on-top double kayak came with some heavy fiberglass paddles which caused me pain to no end after just a short time out on the water. This Werner Camaono Carbon paddle is a dream! Out with my husband for hours without an ache in my upper body. While a bit pricey, it is worth every penny, as now I can just have fun and worry about my muscles clamping up wihtin a short period of time! Love these paddles!

I paid a lot more for this paddle elsewhere. Backcountry gives a really good price for this CF paddle. Adjustments on the paddle are easy and smooth, assembly and disassembly are also easy. I highly recommend this paddle if you're looking for a high-quality carbon paddle.



My father did end up cracking his paddle though. In a weird slip, he used it as a third leg balance for an instant on accident and the paddle cracked. It's not Werner's fault; for the intended purpose of this paddle this thing performs well.



I recommend this product.

I selected the Camano after paddling with one over here in Brisbane. I ordered it through Backcountry and the entire shopping experience went flawlessly. I ordered it on a Tuesday at 7am and it was delivered to my door in Brisbane Australia on Friday at 9am. That's 3 days from the States to Australia! It arrived in perfect condition by UPS expedited delivery. Well done backcountry and will recommend your website to my friends.

The price of my Camano Carbon was unbeatable. And with free second day shipping. I'm 100% satisfied. I've used aluminum/plastic and a carbon/fiberglass paddles in the past. This Camano blows them out of the water!
