Aquabound Manta Ray CARBON - 4PC Posi-lock

Manta Ray blade shape and size are ideal for high-angle, aggressive kayakers, packrafters, racers or anyone looking to move lots of water, fast.

Shorter and wider than low-angle paddles, the Manta Ray blades provide more speed and power with a design that catches water, propelling your kayak forward, faster - no matter the load.

Manta Ray Family best suits kayakers who:

- Need to navigate faster or tighter paddling conditions

- Regularly weigh down the kayak with gear, like packrafters

- Like to paddle in surf and other unpredictable conditions

• Redefined, stronger blade. The new blade shape provides a smoother forward stroke with less chances for flutter, stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit. The upgraded carbon + nylon blade material is stronger (meaning less flex) and thicker, making it more durable and robust long-term.
• Carbon-reinforced nylon blades are engineered to be the best option in plastics, renowned for their combination strength, weight, and stiffness.
• 102.5 sq. inch blade it the ideal size for quick boat maneuverability, while the sharp dihedral provides a silky-smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering, preserving your energy for longer paddling trips.
• The traditional “oversized” blade design provides better horsepower and control, most commonly associated with high-angle forward strokes and those doing flatwater kayaking, packrafting, racing, and kayak fishing.
• 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, so paddling is less fatiguing and more enjoyable on longer trips. The carbon weave is tight and secure, making it one of the strongest options available.
• The shaft is ovalized where the hands go for more comfort and control, and to limit the chances for blisters.
• The Posi-Lok™ ferrule is the gold-standard in paddlesports today, known for the secure fit, simplicity, and longevity. Paddlers enjoy the quick, intuitive ability to adjust the blade offset in 15-degree increments depending on wind and other paddling conditions. The carbon ferrule offers a robust solution that can last years to come.
• Carbon ferrule insert is light, tight, and right for the long haul. This is a sizable upgrade over plastic or glass ferrule inserts.
• Proudly hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, by a team of paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts.
