Werner Says: The Shuna, featuring a slightly smaller high angle blade is already proving to be a popular choice for aggressive high angle paddlers as well as paddlers with a more relaxed high angle touring style.

"With growing popularity in higher angle BCU style paddling Werner became aware there was not an ideal paddle currently offered or preferred by this niche market. Paddlers were using everything from heavy plastic to longer whitewater designs. Nothing being used offered ideal performance. We saw the need to design a series specifically to perform well for this aggressive high angle style." Said Andy Bridge, Research and Development Director for Werner Paddles. "

"These new designs needed to offer smooth slicing strokes to allow for easy and stable transitions when linking or combining strokes. They also had to work well with shorter paddle lengths." Noted Bridge, "We wanted to offer a relatively light weight design, with solid features, as well as have it available at several price points." Said Shelley Furrer, Marketing for Werner Paddles.
