The Surge Bent Shaft brings the same expedition-proven, full-sized whitewater performance as the straight shaft version, paired with Werner's Neutral Bent shaft for larger, well-conditioned paddlers who want maximum power delivery alongside genuine ergonomic relief on long, demanding river days.

The high-impact Bomber fibreglass blade is Werner's most impact-resistant option at this blade size, built to take the punishment of remote river running where durability is non-negotiable. The blade-forward design increases offset between blade and shaft, positioning the blade more vertically through the power phase for cleaner, more efficient energy transfer on every stroke. A custom low-profile reinforcement spine adds stiffness and structural integrity through the blade without compromising maneuverability when linking strokes in technical water. Dihedral keeps forward paddling smooth and controlled regardless of conditions.

The Neutral Bent shaft is a meaningful advantage for bigger paddlers generating high force on serious whitewater, reducing joint and wrist strain across a full day without sacrificing the familiar feel of a straight shaft. The Blaze HD Graphic finish is high-visibility by design, a sensible choice for expedition and wilderness river running. Stocked at Frontenac Outfitters in 30-degree right-hand feather. Custom lengths, offsets, and small shaft options are available with a 4 to 8 week lead time.
