Description

A lightweight glass touring paddle with a great water feel. This midsized blade suits a higher angle stroke, ideal for day tours or coastal play.  Providing smooth power on both blade faces, the pronounced catch and low swing weight help endurance, with VE’s pre-preg glass lay-up creating a highly durable finish, complemented by a polyester dye-sub layer adding a stylish look. The glass shaft offers increased flex for improved in-water feel and reduction in arm fatigue.

Blade Features

  • Touring-lite construction
  • Toughened epoxy pre-impregnated woven glass fibre
  • Shaft diameter: Ø 30.6 mm
  • Weight: 823 g (210 cm)
  • Blade surface area: 650 cm²
  • Blade length x width: 485 mm x 185 mm

Touring-lite construction

Our lite lay-up reduces blade weight by up to 30%, creating a lighter and more supple feel; suited for touring paddles. By reducing material weight and removing layers in the multi-step tip, the blade is 60% thinner at the end, making for a lower swing weight which helps reduce fatigue over distance. All VE paddles are made using prepreg composites and the touring models use the same construction and resin systems in the spine as standard constructions – providing essential strength and rigidity in key areas. On glass dye-sublimated models, the polyester fabric layer offers an extra armour coating, adding additional durability.

Shaft Features

  • 2-piece glass shaft for increased flex
  • Ground and waxed grip finish
  • Ovalised grip indexing
  • KajakSport adjustable ferrule – length Range: 10 cm
  • Feather adjustability in 10° increments left or right-hand
  • Drip rings fitted as standard

The KajakSport ferrule provides any feather and up to 10 cm of length adjustment. Working instantly both right- and left-handed, its simple design provides reliable, hassle-free operation – fully corrosion-free thanks to robust nylon construction.

Storing


We strongly recommend that you store your paddle with the ferrule in an open position, not closed. Storing it in the open position ensures the ferrule is not under continuous stress and it will lengthen the service life multiple times.
