VE Glass Pro - 1pc Glass Shaft WW Paddle

A glass prepreg blade on a one piece straight glass shaft, which is the toughest and best value way to buy a Pro. The glass shaft has a little more flex than carbon, which takes some of the sting out of a long day, and the blades stand up well to rock and shallow water.

The Pro is VE's largest and most aggressive whitewater blade. Power arrives the moment the blade is in the water and keeps driving through to the exit, with the shape concentrating force towards the tip. It is the pick for freestyle and for anyone who wants an immediate response from every stroke.

Other ways to have the Pro
The Aircore carbon blade is lighter and stiffer for even more immediate power, on a glass or carbon shaft. A cranked carbon shaft puts your wrists in a more neutral position, which many paddlers find more comfortable and which is worth considering if you have had wrist, elbow or shoulder trouble, though it comes down to personal preference. A two piece version adds length and feather adjustment on the bank and packs down for travel, expeditions or a spare.

If a big blade sounds like hard work, the mid sized Creeker is our most popular option.
