VE Carbon Creeker - 1pc Carbon Shaft WW Paddle

VE's Aircore carbon blade on a one piece straight carbon shaft, the lightest fixed length build in the range. Carbon through both blade and shaft gives a stiffer, more immediate feel, with more of your effort going into the water rather than into flex. If you paddle hard and often, the weight saving is the thing you notice first.

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.

Other ways to have the Creeker
A glass shaft under the same carbon blade keeps a little more flex and costs less. The all glass build is heavier but tougher and better value, and remains our most popular option. 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.
