The VE Paddles Aircore Creeker - Carbon Shaft is one of the highest performance whitewater kayak paddles that is currently available. It's ideal for negotiating the hardest and steepest rivers whilst whitewater kayaking. It would also be perfect for kayak surfing.
The Aircore Creeker has a full carbon construction. The paddle blades are asymmetric in shape and the main section of the paddle blade features a unique air pocket. This makes the paddles exceptionally stiff whilst still remaining very buoyant. The end of the paddle blade increases in thickness twice, enhancing the paddle's durability.
The Aircore Creeker whitewater kayak paddle blade has been designed to be a great all-round paddle that is smooth and well balanced. With a narrower, mid-sized blade, tapering towards the neck; the Creeker has a gradual power transfer along the length of the stroke, ideal for long days on the river.
The blade's area is neutrally aligned either side of the dihedral with the area being well distributed along both the length and width of the blade. This suits a wide range of kayak paddlers from beginners, to river runners, hardcore creek boaters and those paddling 'day in and day out' working in the kayak industry.
The Creeker kayak paddle blade suites longer lengths used in 'mid to longer length' river and creek boats and those looking for a blade less powerful than the Pro whitewater paddle range. Supplied as standard with a ground carbon shaft its stiffer and lighter than VE's glass shaft for when reaction times really matter. If your looking for a shaft with more flex choose the glass version.
