Werner made a slight ferrule modification to all of their composite Touring paddles for 2009: they recessed the shaft release button to give the shaft a one piece look and feel, and also added a feather gauge inside the ferrule, so you can still check the angle if the gauge decal wears off the shaft surface.

The Ikelos is the paddle most popular with the New York Kayak Co. staff.
