Pre-Order the exact Viper Va’a paddle you want. Trust us — it’s worth the wait.
Introducing the Peperu Series — built for performance and designed by champions. The Peperu paddle was crafted by Rete Ebb, renowned EDT Va’a steersman and 4-time Super Aito champion, then further refined by David Tepava, veteran steerer and coach of the legendary Shell Va’a team.
Their combined expertise results in a paddle that delivers exceptional precision, comfort, and responsiveness. Engineered for elite-level steering, the Peperu series provides the control and confidence demanded at the highest levels of competition — whether racing or training.
The blade is constructed from high-performance multiaxial carbon fiber and paired with your choice of a carbon or bamboo shaft. The bamboo shaft is slightly heavier than its carbon counterpart but offers superior impact resistance. Both options are stiff, durable, and built to perform in the toughest racing environments.
Choose Your Blade
Small Blade (24 × 54 cm)
Ideal for calm to moderately choppy waters. The shorter, wider blade emphasizes forward, angle, and draw strokes to control the canoe with less fatigue — perfect for experienced steerers and flatwater or small-ocean conditions.
Long Blade (23 × 58 cm)
Designed for heavy conditions and powerful steering. The longer, narrower blade provides greater leverage and command for steering correction, making it an excellent choice for new steerers or challenging ocean conditions.
