Sherpa 4-PieceThe Werner Sherpa 4 Piece Whitewater Kayak Paddle is an exceptionally smooth and responsive river running design, in a portable, break down 4 piece design. The mid size blades are evenly balanced to create a clean catch that is powerful and smooth through out the entire stroke. If you like running rivers and ripping up a wave or two, the Sherpa is a great choice as a travel, packraft or back up paddle. The Sherpa's mid size blades are great all around
