A lightweight carbon touring paddle with a great in-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 unique Aircore spine adding strength and buoyancy. The carbon shaft offers a direct power transfer and reduces overall paddle weight.

Blade Features

  • Touring-lite construction
  • Toughened epoxy pre-impregnated carbon fibre
  • Shaft diameter: Ø 30.6 mm
  • Weight: 795 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 pre-preg 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.

Shaft Features

  • 2-piece carbon shaft for increased stiffness and reduced weight
  • Ground grip finish
  • Ovalised grip indexing
  • Stiffer and lighter than glass for when reaction times really matter
  • 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.
