Find peace out on the water as you gracefully paddle glassy lakes and choppy coastlines with the Werner Zen 95 3-Piece Adjustable Stand-Up Paddle. This stiff, perfectly balanced paddle offers smooth, powerful strokes and is well-suited to paddlers who do a bit of everything, from touring and fishing to surfing and on-water yoga. Three-piece construction shortens the Zen down to a pack-friendly size, and carbon gives the shaft a surprisingly stiff feel considering how light the pole is. Werner finished the long, slender fiberglass blade with a dihedral cross-section for a smooth, stable stroke. The blade's longer, rectangular design allows a higher cadence and less fatigue without compromising power. Fully enjoy the simplicity of stand-up paddling with the Zen paddle.

I have used the Werner Zen most of the summer and have really enjoyed it. It is easily one of the best SUP paddles out there and should definitely be a top contender if you are looking for a high end SUP paddle. It has a wide range of adjustability so almost anyone can use it and the blade has a nice surface area for really powerful strokes. The handle is very comfortable, as well. If you need a paddle for an inflatable board, you'll need the three-piece because the two piece doesn't pack down small enough to fit in a SUP backpackl. At 26 oz, it isn't the lightest available paddle out there, but it is very light. The shaft is a carbon/fiberglass combo and the blade itself is a really durable fiberglass. I've bumped into some rocks with it and it is still in perfect condition. This is a really nice paddle and I really recommend the Dakine SUP paddle cover that we carry to go with it to protect it.

This is a well made paddle. It is adjustable to a wide range of different height users with clear markings. It breaks down into three pieces making it easy to pack if needed.
