Aqua Bound Sting Ray Fiberglass 2-Piece Snap-Button Kayak Paddle
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.
- 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

Outstanding quality, and made in the USA
Not quite as light as Aqua Bound’s more-expensive carbon-fiber paddles, but very well-made and finished. I especially like the slightly ovalized grip area on the shaft. Unlike another reviewer, I’ve had no problem operating the spring-loaded button that couples the two parts of the shaft, and the slip-joint coupling is very precise and secure. It’s an added bonus that Aqua Bound makes all its paddles in Wisconsin USA.
Light weight works great!
I got this for my ORU Beach kayak. I took off the drip rings and the paddle feels super light. It's easy to assemble and I wear gloves so the texture of the shaft feels fine.
It's a paddle, it goes in the water when you
The paddle works fine, it is easy to carry around and put together. It is light weight and serves its purpose well. I am a bit confused as to why after I purchased the paddle I found three different price tags, all with different prices. I would think if you were raising the price after it is on the shelf the co-workers would have removed the previous price tags.
Kayak Paddle
Comfortable and just what we needed. Received early and that was awesome
They Work
The "buttons" to change the paddle angle are sticky and hard to depress all the way. Wish the shaft was more grippy.
Not good
Rough on hands, surface not smooth and fiberglass is wrapped around and abrasive.
