Werner Ikelos Carbon Straight

[ ahy - kee - lohs ] The assistant to the Greek god of dreams, Ikelos, fashioned dreams so vivid, that were believed to be true. The Ikelos is our most advanced high-angle paddle, with our best paddling design and construction features. You’ll feel exceptionally light, buoyant strokes while the smooth back face gives a quiet entrance and exit from the water. The award winning Ikelos is the smart choice for those playing or cruising with a high-angle style of paddling and wanting the powerful feel of a full-sized blade. Ultimate performance brings together all of our most advanced designs. Full sized blades are and ideal fit for larger, well-conditioned paddlers. The volume of the buoyant, full carbon, blades creates an exceedingly light feel for effortless and confident strokes. Dynel® edges protect the paddle from the rigorous environment paddlers often find themselves in. A roping material, dynel is impact and abrasion resistant. Dihedral allows for smooth and stable forward paddling, a core philosophy for Werner. Smooth back face makes for cleaner entry and exit of your strokes and an elegant feel on the water. Optimized flex and strength. Choose our carbon Straight or Neutral Bent shaft in Standard Diameter or Small Diameter. The Smart View Adjustable ferrule is the most simple, precise fitting on the market. The solid feel of a 1-piece paddle and nothing to snag your gear. (US Patent # 6881111 ) 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. Surface Area 710 sq cm Blade Length x Width 49 x 20cm Weight for 210cm Straight Shaft 680g/24oz Neutral Bent Shaft 751g/26.5oz
