Description

Offering tight-fitting construction and reliable performance, the Aqua-Bound Sting Ray Fiberglass 2-Piece Snap-Button kayak paddle is made to help you glide through your flatwater kayaking adventures.

Features
  • 100% fiberglass shaft is durable and strong, yet lighter than aluminum, so it can hold up in variable conditions without draining your energy
  • Fiberglass shaft is also valued for being warmer and more flexible and forgiving than aluminum
  • Shaft is ovalized where your hands go for improved comfort and control and to help reduce blisters
  • Fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades are designed for forgiveness and just the right amount of flex, to keep your kayak moving efficiently even if you are carrying extra gear
  • Upgraded blade material is stronger and thicker than before, making the blades more durable with less flex
  • Updated blade shape provides a smoother forward stroke with a stiffer feel, quieter entry and exit, and less chance for flutter
  • Traditional "mid-sized" or slender blade design is preferred by low-angle paddlers whose forward stroke is more horizontal or relaxed in nature
  • Blades are the ideal size for efficiency, providing enough torque to maneuver the kayak and limiting fatigue due to wind resistance
  • Sharp dihedral provides a smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering
  • 3-hole snap-button connection allows for feather angles of 0° or 60° and left- or right-hand control
  • Durable snap-button ferrule is a fixed length and tight-fitting to reduce wobbling or inefficiencies
  • Carbon ferrule insert is lightweight and durable, providing a secure fit
