Aqua Bound's exciting whitewater kayak paddle with a smaller blade (645sq. cm)and revolutionary technology for increased durability and performance.
ABOUT LAM-LOK US Patent Pending
- Double down on edge protection with innovative Lam-Lok US Patent Pending technology
- Lam-Lok mechanically bonds the laminated blade layers together with over 33 feet of an aramid thread around the most vulnerable parts of the blades, dramatically extending the life of your paddle
- Protects blade edges by resisting delamination, impact and abrasion
- Lam-Lok is 5-10x more effective at fighting delamination than blades without it
ABOUT THE BLADES
- Aerial Minor blade size is best suited for small to medium statured paddlers or those looking for maximize efficiency when running rivers.
- Wide, flattened foam spine simulates performance qualities of both a foil blade and a compression-molded blade
- Reinforced 100% carbon blade peg insert maximizes blade-to-shaft joint strength while matching the stiffness/flex balance of the entire paddle. Benefit from built-in durability
- Smooth transition from blade to shaft. No sharp edges to scrape hands or extra material to add friction in the water
ABOUT THE SHAFT
- 100% carbon construction optimized for a stiffness/flex balance between that of traditional carbon and fiberglass shafts to ease strain on shoulders
- High-tech, spread tow carbon weave increases the mechanical properties of the material (strength, stiffness, impact resistance) while reducing weight
- Ergonomic grip shape designed to match the natural shape of a closed hand
- Extra-long grip sections allow flexibility for hand placement to fit a greater number of shoulder widths and paddler preferences
- Tactile grip coating applied to shaft to help get a better holdand it wont destroy paddler calluses, to boot
- Designed for hand placement in line with blades
- Fixed length and offset angle
