VE Glass Creeker - 2pc Glass Shaft WW Paddle

A glass prepreg blade on a two piece straight glass shaft with an aluminium adjustable connector. Splitting the shaft buys you 10 cm of length adjustment and infinite feather, so you can change the setup on the bank or mid trip rather than living with whatever you ordered. It also packs down, which makes it the one to have for travel, for expeditions, or as the spare that lives behind your seat.

The Creeker is VE's mid-sized whitewater blade and the one we sell most of. It tapers towards the neck, so power builds gradually through the stroke rather than loading up all at once. That makes it predictable and easy to live with, whether you are still finding your feet on moving water or guiding on it every week.

• 700 cm² blade area, 485 x 200 mm

Store a split paddle with the connector open rather than closed. It keeps the joint out of constant tension and the paddle will last a good deal longer for it.

Other ways to have the Creeker
The one piece glass build is lighter on the wallet and the simplest option if you do not need adjustment. The Aircore carbon blade is lighter and stiffer, on a glass or carbon shaft, and is also available as a split. A cranked carbon shaft puts your wrists in a more neutral position, which many paddlers find more comfortable.
