VE Aircore Flyte


VE Aircore Flyte Whitewater paddles. Available on either Glass or Carbon Straight or Carbon Cranked Shafts. The blade is made from 100% carbon fibre which is pre-impregnated with toughened epoxy resin making it extremely strong, robust and hard-wearing.


Paddlers who enjoy starting their stroke in a further forward position than most will enjoy the aggresive catch of the Aircore Flyte paddle. The blade has a gradual taper towards the neck so provides a smoother feel as you progress through the stroke. This shape has its roots in slalom blade design so if you enjoy weaving your way through features this will be an ideal choice.


Choosing a shaft: If your looking for a stiffer and lighter shaft the carbon models would be a better choice. Cranked shafts aim to put less strain on paddler's wrists.

  • Split Shaft Paddles with 360 degree feather and 10 cm adjustable length available - Ask Us!
  • Larger blades are ideal for well conditioned paddlers who love to run big rivers and creeks.
  • Aircore carbon prepreg blade.
  • Blade design is evenly balanced so the catch is clean, immediately powerful, and smooth through out the entire stroke.
