Vertical Elements Carbon Prepreg-Blades on Bent Shaft Paddles 

Here's what they had to say....

Tough, lightweight, custom-built, well balanced and functional.

We can’t fault these premium whitewater blades from UK manufacturer Vertical Elements (VE), so instead we thought we’d award them with the accolade of the Canoe & Kayak UK Gear of the Year: Hard Wear.

The generously-sized blade provides a powerful stroke, and the cranked shaft aligns your wrists and lowers the risk of injury.

Each set of VE paddles is bespoke and made to order, allowing you to specify length, feather and whether you need righty or lefty
