Werner Rio FG

The Spanish word for river creates excitement in boaters of any language.

The Rio offers an advanced river running blade design at an introductory price. Mid-size blades are so well balanced and easy to use that we highly recommend the Rio for all entrants into whitewater who demand good paddle performance.

• Standard Performance gives you Werner's heritage for a better paddling paddle at introductory prices.
• Mid-sized river running blades give just the right amount of power without fatiguing the paddler. Designed for more efficient forward paddling.
• Injection molded blades with designs direct from our Premium line offers gentle power and a smooth easy stroke.
• The same Bomber shaft we use on our top of the line paddles. Available in straight shaft only, in standard or small diameter.
• Fiberglass reinforced nylon injection molded blades are durable at a lower cost.
• Feather Angle: 1-piece options- unfeathered, Right hand control or left hand control, up to 90 degrees, in 5 degree increments. R45 is our most popular in river running and R30 in play boating.
