Summer 2017 Paddle Boarding Gear Guide

Werner Rip Stick

The Rip Stick is the answer to what stand up paddle surfers want. More power from a smaller blade. To generate more power, we developed an innovative double concave dihedral in the power face of the blade. Power pockets from the dihedral accelerate you into more waves, outrace outside sets and blast over foam piles. The double concave shape of the blade face also creates a super stable stroke, for all the crazy angles you’ll find yourself paddling.
