Description

A compact option that delivers high-angle horsepower and efficient maneuvering on the water, the Aqua-Bound Manta Ray Hybrid 4-Piece Posi-Lok kayak paddle is designed with paddling trips in mind.

Features
  • Lightweight, strong, 100% carbon fiber shaft is ovalized where your hands go for improved comfort and control and to help reduce blisters
  • 4-piece, compartmentalized breakdown is ideal for storage, backpacking, packrafting or use as a back-up paddle
  • 2 snap buttons are placed in the blade pegs to allow for 4-piece disassembly; tight-fitting, 4-piece blades feel secure and similar to a 2-piece design
  • Fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades are designed for forgiveness and just the right amount of flex
  • 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
  • Blade size is ideal for quick boat maneuverability, while the sharp dihedral provides a smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering
  • Traditional "oversized" blade design increases horsepower and control for high-angle forward strokes
  • Posi-Lok™ ferrule provides the ability to quickly adjust the blade offset in 15° increments, depending on wind and other paddling conditions
  • Carbon ferrule insert is lightweight and durable, providing a secure fit
