In this quick look, unpacking video we look at a new paddle brand to us... VE Paddles. The VE Riva is a SUP whitewater paddle that not only looks incredibly tough but innovative as well.
VE Paddles are a well established brand in the Kayak and Canoeing market. So it’s no surprise, with their large background and knowledge in white water paddling they have produced a SUP whitewater blade… which looks built to take on anything you throw at it!
When it comes to SUP white water gear, our tester Beth Kirby is a great experienced paddler to get feedback from. Beth has been paddling the Carbon Riva and she shares her thoughts in this video.
VE Paddles are now a part of the Palm Equipment group, so we really look forward to seeing them bring more great gear to more SUPers in the future.
Remember this is not a full SUPboarder review. It is an unedited, gut feeling video showing what’s in the box and how they look for the first time. If you want to hear more about this paddle and the VE brand let us know.
