Updated for 2023! Aqua-Bounds popular flatwater blade paired with the corrosion resistant ferrule makes for a winning combination.
The MantaRay Carbon kayak paddle has been redesigned to include a stronger blade with a smoother forward stroke, stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit. The upgraded carbon + nylon blade material is thicker and stronger, making it more durable and robust long-term. Carbon-reinforced nylon blades are the best option in plastics, providing a combination of strength, weight, and stiffness.
With a blade size of 102.5 sq. inches, the MantaRay Carbon is designed for quick boat maneuverability, while the sharp dihedral provides a smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering, conserving energy for longer paddling trips. The traditional "oversized" blade design provides better horsepower and control, making it ideal for high-angle forward strokes and activities such as flatwater kayaking, packrafting, racing, and kayak fishing.
The 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, reducing fatigue and making paddling more enjoyable on longer trips. The ovalized shape of the shaft where the hands go provides comfort and control, while limiting the chances of developing blisters.
The Posi-Lok ferrule is the gold-standard in paddlesports, providing a secure fit, simplicity, and longevity. Paddlers can adjust the blade offset in 15-degree increments depending on wind and other paddling conditions, thanks to the quick and intuitive design. The carbon ferrule offers a durable solution that can last for years to come.
