The VE Paddles Aircore Pro - Carbon Shaft Paddle features VE's most aggressive shape, providing instant power which lasts along the length of the stroke. With most of its surface area focussed near the tip of the blade. It's the ideal model for freestyle or surf paddling. Light, strong, buoyant and incredibly powerful!
These blades are manufactured at a very high pressure to produce an extremely solid hard-wearing edge and are made from 100% carbon fibre which is pre-impregnated with toughened epoxy resin making it strong, robust and hard-wearing.
Supplied as standard with a ground carbon shaft its stiffer and lighter than VE's glass shaft for when reaction times really matter. If you're looking for a shaft with more flex choose the glass version.
