Aqua-Bound Sting Ray TLC 240cm carbon kayak paddle
Just Kayak Paddles! The best paddles, at the best prices, for the best kayaking! Aqua-Bound – “Sting Ray” kayak paddle – BRAND NEW! Carbon blade/Carbon shaft with new TLC adjustable ferrule system Choosing the best paddle is even more important than deciding which boat to buy. Despite its simplicity, a paddle performs a variety of technical functions, in effect acting like the transmission, drivetrain, brakes, and steering wheel in your car. When I first started kayaking I thought I’d put all of my money into a good boat and then buy the least expensive paddle. So I started out with an aluminum paddle that looked like two oars stuck together. I could barely lift my arms after thirty minutes of kayaking. After one season of that torture I did some research and found that weight and design do make a difference. So I decided to spend a little more money and bought a fiberglass paddle. Now I could kayak for an hour or so before my arms were dragging. I thought this is better but still not the best. So, more research, a little more money, and for the next season I bought a carbon paddle. What a difference! Now my kayaking time is determined by anything but the paddle. You must have carbon if you love to kayak! For you “techies” the specs are below. This has the new TLC-Turn Lock Coupler ferrule system, with no tools, holes or hassles for changing the feather angle. For everyone else, understand that this blade shape is suitable for ALL type of kayaking, entry level/recreational right through to long-distance touring. It is silky smooth through the water and has an incredibly low swing weight. Remember…you need a top quality paddle to make kayaking pleasurable. Weight is everything! Otherwise, as your arms get tired from a heavy paddle, kayaking will seem very difficult and you’ll lose interest in a great sport…and I don’t want that to happen! So treat yourself right and buy one of my lightweight carbon paddles.
