Werner Sho-gun

A legendary figure in Japanese culture. Sho-Gun "General" leads your charge down river.

The Sho-Gun uses our most advanced technology in this river running paddle. As powerful as its name suggests, the rivers that paddlers take the Sho-Gun often need some aggression to navigate each horizon line. Decades of experience led us to the chosen paddle for many at the top of their game.

• Dihedral allows for smooth and stable forward paddling, a core philosophy for Werner.
• With whitewater specific reinforcement channels, our low-profile back face design allows for a quieter catch and effortless exit of the stroke while maintaining strength.
• Dynel® edges and Kevlar® reinforcement protect the paddle from the rigors of the whitewater environment.
• Full sized blades are and ideal fit for larger, well-conditioned paddlers or those looking for more powerful strokes on shorter steeper rapids.
