VE Vanda

Lightweight Full Carbon Aircore Touring Paddle

The VE Vanda is a light, efficient paddle designed for open water touring however they are a great all rounder too. The blade thins at the tip which reduces the swing weight and provides a cleaner catch. Length adjustable between 210 and 220cm these are an ideal choice for paddlers touring in varying conditions.

The blades have negligible flutter even at full power and the narrow asymmetric blade has a very precise feel whatever the stroke. This makes them very predictable during sculling, bow rudders, draws etc. The Aircore construction provides good buoyancy and support whilst in the water and is great during rolling.

The 2-part Carbon shaft is gently indexed on both sides making them suitable for right handed or left handed paddlers. The finish on the shafts is smooth but not slippery.

Flip the nylon lever-lock open and it takes seconds to adjust the length (up to 10cm), or the blade feather angle. There are no pre-set click points so you can get exactly the length and angle you need within the 10cm range. On a long journey regardless of conditions the change of feather, length and stroke style can be a great way of relieving the strain of repetitive movement.

VE Paddles are made by hand in Britain using pre-preg carbon and fibreglass materials and hot compression moulded construction techniques to ensure a tough build.
