Werner Kalliste

Low Angle Foam Core Carbon Touring Paddle

The Werner Kalliste is a premium low-angle touring paddle designed for maximum efficiency, comfort, and long-distance performance. It features foam-core carbon blades that feel exceptionally buoyant in the water, reducing swing weight and making each stroke smooth and effortless. The paddle is available in straight and neutral bent shaft options, both built from full carbon for a light, responsive feel.

Performance-wise, the Kalliste stands out for its clean, flutter-free stroke. Its asymmetrical dihedral blade shape creates a stable pull through the water, while the ribless back face allows for quiet, smooth entries and exits. The reinforced Dynel® blade edges add durability against minor impacts and abrasion—an advantage over some ultralight carbon paddles. Werner’s Smart-View ferrule system also provides precise feather-angle adjustment and solid shaft connection. Overall, the Kalliste is ideal for dedicated touring paddlers who prioritize efficiency, comfort, and premium performance.
