Comments about Aqua-Bound Sting Ray Carbon Shaft Paddle - Small-Shaft:

This is my first paddle that I actually bought . Yes, it is a little expensive for my first paddle! Instead of buying two [$] paddles, why not buy one [$] paddle that only weights 31.5 oz. I have had the opportunity to try those [$] paddles and they do start to wear on you after several hours. I can paddle all day with this one. It remains very stable on every stroke.

Comments about Aqua-Bound Sting Ray Carbon Shaft Paddle - Small-Shaft:

After doing a little research on the Internet and reading many, many reviews I decided to go with this paddle and I'm VERY happy I did! For the price and features and reviews it seemed like a good choice.

The paddle is lightweight and the smaller shaft makes a nice difference for smaller hands. The two-piece design is easy to put together and take apart and is very solid when connected. The ferrule system that allows you to adjust the feathering is a very nice feature and is straightforward and easy to operate.

Paddling proves to be easy and smooth with this paddle. It glides through the water nicely and can be adjusted on the fly with ease. I noticed the difference almost immediately from my previous paddle - which had a metal shaft and was not adjustable.

The A-B Sting Ray Carbon Shaft Paddle with Small-Shaft is a fantastic paddle!
