Aqua Bound Sting Ray Fiberglass

With a fiberglass shaft to help reduce fatigue and strain and Aqua-Bound’s exclusive abXII blades, this is a great all-around recreational paddle.

The Sting Ray Fiberglass has a snug, trouble-free 3-hole snap-button ferrule (0° to 60°, L and R feathering angles).

The Sting Ray Fiberglass is available in lengths from 200cm to 260cm in increments of 5cm. 

Our most popular blade style for flatwater, the Sting Ray Fiberglass offers tight-fitting construction and reliable performance. 

• Weighing 33.5 ounces, the Sting Ray Fiberglass is the lightest flatwater injected molded kayak paddle available at this price point.
• Redesigned, stronger blade. The new blade shape provides a smoother forward stroke with less chances for flutter, a stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit. The upgraded fiberglass + nylon blade material is stronger (meaning less flex) and thicker, making it more durable and robust long-term.
• Fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades are designed for forgiveness and just the right amount of flex, keeping the kayak moving efficiently even with extra gear slowing you down. 
• 92.5 sq. inch blade is the ideal size for efficiency, providing enough torque to maneuver the kayak without being overly fatiguing. 
• The traditional “mid-sized” or slender blade design is preferred by low-angle paddlers where the forward stroke is more horizontal or relaxed in nature. 
• The carefully engineered blade shape slices into and out of the water and limits fatigue due to wind resistance.
• The sharp dihedral provides a silky-smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering, preserving your energy for longer paddling trips.
• The 100% fiberglass shaft is durable and strong, yet lighter than commodity aluminum, so it will hold up in the most uncertain of conditions while not draining all your energy. Fiberglass is also valued for being warm, plus flexible, and forgiving when compared to aluminum.
• The shaft is ovalized where the hands go for more comfort and control, and to limit the chances of blisters.
• Snap-button ferrule is fixed length plus tight-fitting, secure, and long-lasting. No wobbling or inefficiencies like commodity systems. It’s not as technical as some modern ferrule systems, but one of the more robust options. Comes with a 3-hole for adjustable feather angles of 0° or 60°, left or right-hand control.
• The carbon ferrule insert is light, tight, and right for the long haul. This is a sizable upgrade over plastic or glass ferrule inserts.
• Two new head-turning colors that make a real statement on the water: Sunset Red, the ideal companion for an evening paddle trip, and the shot of life that is Electric Green. 
• Proudly hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, by a team of paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts.
