VE Offside Canoe Paddle Aircore Carbon Blade - Carbon Blade

Product Specifications:

VE Paddles Offside Canoe Paddle with Carbon Aircore Blade and Carbon Shaft is a touring paddle ideally suited for all canoes but especially for paddling for longer periods where not every stroke is vertical.

Offside has a smaller blade area compared to the Pro Canoe and it’s the round edges help knifing and other control strokes. The Offside Aircore comes with VE paddles’ ergo grip as standard

We stock the uncut version so the ergo grip is supplied unattached for you to fit to your preference- although we are happy to cut to your length and attach for you as part of your purchase.

This blade is made from 100% carbon fibre which is pre-impregnated with toughened epoxy resin making it extremely strong, robust and hard-wearing.

Supplied as standard with a ground carbon shaft its stiffer and lighter than VE Paddles glass shaft for when reaction times really matter. If your looking for a shaft with more flex choose the glass version.
