VE Glass Creeker - 1pc Glass Shaft WW Paddle

This is the combination most paddlers end up with. A glass prepreg blade on a one piece straight glass shaft, which is the toughest and best value way to buy a Creeker. 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 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
The Aircore carbon blade is lighter and stiffer for 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.
