Peperu (Steering) - Classic Design

Introducing the Peperu Series – Built for Performance, Designed by Champions The new Peperu paddle series was crafted by Rete Ebb, renowned EDT Va’a steersman and 4-time Super Aito champion. It was then further refined by David Tepava, veteran steerer and coach of the legendary Shell Va’a team. Their combined expertise has resulted in a paddle that delivers exceptional precision, comfort, and responsiveness – engineered to meet the demands of elite-level steering. Whether you’re racing or training, the Peperu series delivers the control and confidence you need at the highest level of competition.

The blade is constructed from high-performance multiaxial carbon fiber, and a bamboo shaft. The bamboo shaft is slightly heavier than it's carbon counterpart, but it offeres superior impact resistance. Both versions are stiff, durable, and built to perform in the toughest racing environments. 

Choose your blade to match your conditions:

Small Blade (24cm x 54cm)

Ideal for calm to moderately choppy waters. The shorter wider blade is focused on more forward/angle/draw strokes to control the canoe without fatiguing the steersman as much - ideal for experienced steersman or flatwater/small ocean conditions. 

Long Blade (23cm x 58cm)

Designed for heavy conditions and powerful steering. The longer skinnier blade gives more command over steering correction with deeper leverages and is a great choice for new steersman in flatwater or taking the canoe into ocean conditions.
