For larger, well-conditioned paddlers who want Werner's most advanced technology in a full-sized whitewater blade, the Sho-Gun Bent Shaft is the answer. This is a paddle built for aggressive river running on short, steep, powerful rapids where generating maximum force on every stroke is what keeps you in control.

The full carbon blade is Werner's largest whitewater offering in the Ultimate performance tier, delivering serious power at the catch while remaining buoyant enough to inspire confidence during rolls and braces in the aerated water of difficult rapids. Whitewater-specific reinforcement channels run through the low-profile back face, maintaining blade stiffness and strength without sacrificing the clean, quiet catch that lets you place strokes precisely. Dynel edge reinforcement and Kevlar construction protect against the constant impact and abrasion of committing creek and river lines. Dihedral keeps forward strokes smooth and controlled even when the water is pushing back hard.

The Neutral Bent shaft brings meaningful ergonomic relief for larger paddlers generating high force through demanding whitewater, reducing joint strain while keeping the feel close enough to a straight shaft that it never feels unfamiliar. Stocked at Frontenac Outfitters in 30-degree right-hand feather. Custom lengths, offsets, and small shaft options are available with a 4 to 8 week lead time.
