VE Vanda Aircore Carbon

VE Vanda Aircore Carbon

A high performance and top quality paddle for sea kayaking and touring use. Lightweight design with narrow blade design suits low-angle paddling styles, often adopted by those putting in the miles when expedition paddling. Easy through the water and light in the hands makes for the VE Vanda being a joy to use when you need to cover distance efficiently. Also a great option for those who just want an easy paddle to use without tiring during general day sessions.

AirCore blade technology provides positive buoyancy within the paddle blade. This aids paddle exit and can help save a little energy on longer paddling trips. The pressed edges of the blade allow for easy slicing into the water and improves robustness of the blade. The blades feature a 'touring-lite' lay up for a light and supple feel with low swing weight. The narrow tip provides a low surface area for a cleaner catch and exit from the water. Combined with the smooth dihedral blade face, the Vanda offers smooth and relatively effortless paddle strokes for those wanting delicate precision whilst paddling. The blade widens towards the middle offer progressive power once the kayak is moving. Whilst predominantly designed to suit low angle strokes, the squared-off tip allows for more agressive high-angle paddle strokes for that extra burst of power and acceleration when needed.

The 2-piece shaft features a corrosion-free nylon Kajak Sport ferrule adjuster offering 10cm of length adjustment and infinite blade feathering adjustment. The carbon shaft provides a stiff and direct contact to the water feel whilst paddling. The shaft features a ground finish for added grip.

VE paddles are favoured by many sea kayakers and tourers across the UK, and the Vanda makes a great choice for those wanting ease of use and a great paddle for covering longer distances on open waters.
