Bill and All, I've been using a Werner Shuna with the adjustable ferrule system for a few months now for crossings, rockgardens, surf and a seven-day trip. I was a bit skeptical about the adjustable ferrule, but I haven't had any problems. With teeth in the system, it seems it would need to be kept clean, but I haven't had a problem with sand jamming it. The adjustability is a nice idea, but I use the standard 60 degree angle anyway, so I haven't benefited from it. Note that the adjustability is only in 15 degree increments, which does not allow for a lot of fine tuning. The adjustable ferrule system is working fine for me, but I'd still prefer the simplicity of Werner's old ferrule system if I could get it in the Shuna model.

My eye was caught by a Werner Camano. I have seen this paddle before, however this one had the new (at least I think it's new) Adjustable Ferrule System. See: http://www.wernerpaddles.com/features.html Does anyone have any experience (or comments pro or con) with this system?
