The Carve with Premium laminate fiberglass construction has a longer more slender blade design which is better for dynamic surfing and turning. Smaller blades are gentle on the joints and allow for a faster cadence. The fiberglass oval index shaft adds comfort, control and is lightweight, stiff and durable.

Durability not Performance, Thursday, 25 June 2009

SUM. This paddle scores high on durability and versatility, not performance. The grip is relatively uncomfortable, but the strong fiber-glass construction makes it for a durable paddle and the two-piece mechanism is great for people of different height to use. I recommend this paddle for surf shops and families, where wear and tear is an issue and versatility is a must.

PROS. The fiber-glass construction on this paddle is very strong, probably above average. Both the shaft and the blade don't seem to bother taking a beating, either against rocks in case of the blade or a very strong paddler in case of the shaft. The two-piece system, as usual, makes it very versatile, so no matter the height there is a fit for it.

CONS. The grip, both on handle and shaft, is not quite comfortable, especially where the two pieces of the shaft connect. And the weight is 29lbs., too heavy for optimum stroke rates. Also, even though Werner's description caters this model for surfing, it seems to lag behind the wider, shorter blades in terms of interacting with the wave to drive leverage.
