VE Explorer Aircore Carbon Blade 2 Piece Carbon Shaft

The VE Explorer Aircore Carbon Blade 2 Piece Paddle is a high-performance kayak paddle designed for paddlers who demand efficiency, adjustability, and precision on the water.

Built with a lightweight carbon fibre construction, this paddle delivers excellent stiffness and power transfer, making it ideal for high-angle paddling styles. The carbon blades are not only strong but also highly buoyant, ensuring smooth engagement with the water from catch to exit for a clean, efficient stroke.

The 2-piece split shaft design allows for quick, tool-free adjustments to length (up to 10 cm), feather angle, and orientation—perfect for adapting to different conditions or paddling preferences on the go. An indexed shaft with an oval grip enhances control and blade awareness, while drip rings help keep hands dry during extended sessions.
