VE Offside Canoe Paddle Glass Blade - Glass Shaft

The VE Offside Glass Canoe Paddle is touring canoe paddle with a blade suited to paddling for longer periods where not every stroke is vertical. The Offside also has a smaller blade area compared to the Pro Canoe, with the round edges helping knifing and other control strokes. This blade is made from 100% glass fibre which is pre-impregnated with toughened epoxy resin making it strong, robust and hard-wearing. Supplied with a ground glass shaft.
