What Quickblade has to say about the V Drive: This paddle concept was created and shaped by legendary Waterman Dave Kalama. Its design features a unique scooped V section that’s edges create a double dihedral for enhanced stability during the power application. The results offer a very stable yet effective power phase with an effortless exit. Great for catching waves, racing and touring.

Our Opinion: We really enjoy paddling with the V Drive, the Scooped out profile has a strong pull giving you lots of power for its blade size. It feels like the double V dihedral really keeps the blade from fluttering and most angles, making the paddle feel like it really sticks in place when your pulling against it. Our preferred configuration is with the Round Taper or specially ordered with a elite shaft and the new CHOKE GRIP HANDLE. Call us if you have any questions on sizing or configuration. 800-320-9463 x704
