What makes Werner different
Werner Paddles traces its roots back to 1955, when Werner and Martha Furrer embarked on their first kayaking adventure together. Faced with a shortage of specialized equipment, Werner Sr. took matters into his own hands, building his first kayak in 1959 followed by his first paddle in 1965. What started as a personal quest to outfit his growing family out of a home garage transformed into a passionate enterprise driven by meticulous craftsmanship.
Today, Werner Paddles blends cutting-edge technology with an uncompromising commitment to ergonomics, durability, and beauty. Handcrafted in the United States, every blade is engineered to deliver "Ultimate Paddle Performance"—minimizing fatigue and maximizing comfort whether a paddler is navigating flat water or charging through Class V whitewater. These are the durable Werner kayak paddles Clearwater paddlers rely on for comfort and performance on our local waters.
Beyond product innovation, the company is deeply invested in its community, sustainable manufacturing, and environmental stewardship through its Healthy Waters initiative. Driven by a team of dedicated craftsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, Werner Paddles continues to promise unsurpassed quality, ensuring that every stroke on the water connects paddlers more deeply to the sport they love.
