Werner Cyprus Kayak Paddle Review
The Cyprus is Werner's most advanced high-angle kayak paddle, with their best paddling design and construction features. You will feel exceptionally light, buoyant strokes while the smooth back face gives a quiet entrance and exit from the water. The Werner Cyprus is the smart choice for those playing or cruising with a high-angle style of kayak paddling and wanting the conservative feel of a mid-sized blade. The bent shaft on this kayak paddle ensures more ergonomic strokes for longer distance trips.
