Enjoy all the benefits of Werner’s legendary Powerhouse Paddle with the style and design of Kokopelli!

Engineered for performance and built for the wild, the Kokopelli x Werner Powerhouse Whitewater Paddle is your go-to tool for tackling steep creeks, technical rapids, and long expedition days. Now available in our exclusive Soca Blue colorway—bright, bold, and inspired by the crystal waters of the Soca River in Slovenia.

A 4-piece breakdown design makes it perfect for packrafting and adventure travel, while the full-size fiberglass blades deliver serious power with every stroke. Whether you’re navigating Class IV rapids or hauling gear through remote backcountry, this paddle delivers the confidence, strength, and compactability you need.

Watch most every creek boat videos today or any footage where the paddler is being swallowed by massive holes amidst canyon walls. Now, what paddle do they have?

Werner river running paddles are trusted on the hardest whitewater runs in the world and by those firing up the hardest lines on their local runs. The center ferrule (joint) and shaft to paddle ferrule is a traditional stainless steel button system for an easy secure fit.

The Powerhouse offers durable reliability, tested and proven where it counts.

After Each Use

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water—especially after paddling in saltwater, silty rivers, or muddy creeks. Pay close attention to the ferrules (connection points).
Dry completely before storage to prevent corrosion, mold, or grit buildup in the shafts and ferrules.
Store disassembled (broken down into 4 pieces), in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat (like car trunks or roof boxes).
Avoid placing heavy gear on top of your paddle during transport to prevent warping.
