While testing and approving our stand up paddle design Fletcher Chouinard and our friends at Patagonia spanked a heck of a lot of waves. Thanks Fletch, the name stuck. The Spanker, is the first SUP (Stand Up Paddle) to combine light buoyant performance core with a powerful 12 degree bent design for maximum entry. Add Werner's legendary bomber durability for hours of worry free wave spanking!

SUM. This is definitely one of, if not the, best stand up paddle out there. It works really well for surfing and also paddling. I recommend this paddle for every SUP enthusiast who is looking to improve performance and is ready to have a shaft cut specifically for his size.

PRO. This is one of, if not the, best stand up paddle out there. It's incredibly light weight, has a comfortable grip both on handle and shaft, and has a design that both interacts really well with the wave and offers great speed while having enough give not to overpower the paddler.

CONS. The light weight, while being one of its greatest virtues, can in a very particular case become a vice. That is, in very windy conditions -- especially if the wind is coming sideways -- the blade (due to the paddle's lightweight) tends to flip with the wind as you work the paddle from one side of the board to the other, going against the wind.
