Questions & Answers

Is there a size difference in water drips. Every time I get wet, I get soaked. What should I do if my stock cups need to be upgraded?

You can adjust them as you paddle, so slide them above the water line.

Can you tell me how much this weighs?

The weight must be under 30 ounces We find these to be very light and comfortable, making them one of our favorite paddles for a full day The blade is made of an ABX resin reinforced with fiberglass - this is a very durable blade. As a result, it is strong and durable. While there might be lighter paddles available, you would have to pay much more for them. The angle of the blade can be easily adjusted and the blade quality is excellent. It is the perfect solution for us.

The object floats, does it not?

While I am not sure if it is advertised as floatable, any time I dropped mine in water it stayed afloat long enough for me

Selected User Reviews For AQUA BOUND Manta Ray Hybrid 2-Piece Kayak Paddle

I feel as if it were night and day! There is a night and day difference between this paddle and the one I bought for $100! You cannot find a better value in a paddle than this
5/5

A paddle is a purchase that you should only make if you can afford the best model at the time. Otherwise, you will always upgrade. The only two things I never skimp on are paddles and life jackets. If we're talking about paddles, we need to think about their efficiency. For under $200, this paddle is about as efficient as you can get. Neither the blade nor the blade blade "shudders. " It feels great in the hands with the carbon fiber handle. The grips on my shoes don't cause blisters and I don't have any problems It's tricky to get the handle to stay cool, but that can be handled by dipping it in the water when it's hot. Another thing I like about them is their bright white color. When paddling with a headlamp on at night, this is not an issue, but when paddling during the day, it is. This isn't a big enough issue to knock a star off.

4/5

A paddle of outstanding quality For my 3' kayak, I bought the 150 because I'm six feet three inches tall and three feet wide. Considering what I know now, if I could do it all again, I would There are large blades on this machine. The lightest part of a scale of light is not this, but it's close It is very light-weight- It would be considered a feather of great lightness. The water can be paddled at either a low or a high angle with it. As a result of the price difference between this and the most expensive, I'll purchase Aqua It's bound to happen (except if I become a professional paddler).

I think this is my best paddle yet
5/5

The paddle is the one that my wife and I like the best (we've rented many different models in the past and own two others with steel shafts). These graphite shafts are light weight but sturdy all at the same time. Graphite paddles from other brands are available, but we decided to go with this hybrid which includes fiber reinforced plastic as we felt it would be a more durable option for shallow rivers with gravel bottoms. One of the best features of PosiLok is its ease of use. The slider is super easy to adjust and snaps together in a snap and clicks apart in a click! It has more locking points between 0 and 60 degrees than one could ever need, but if you want to fine tune and customize the angle there are quite a few This paddle is light and easy to use - but the main benefit is its weight. This paddle extends our endurance beautifully. This is a wonderful piece of gear to use during the summer months when we paddle for hours every other week. It is not the paddle weight that causes us to be fatigued at the end of the day! * * * The price of the paddle is very reasonable thanks to the plastic material, and it's not as pricey as Check out other reviews if you are a white water paddler).

I really like the paddle you use
5/5

Since I bought this paddle last year, I have used it a lot. Lightweight (although not as light as more expensive paddles) is one of its top features. The speed is built to last and is a great way to get At first, I felt like it was rather bulky/oddly shaped (a bit oval), but I have became more accustomed to it. This is a very easy project to separate and then reassemble. Whether it's feathered in one direction or kept straight is up to you.

It's nice to change things up
5/5

My paddle board is mounted on my Larry Chair, which I use for fishing. I bought this for use with it. This paddle also seems light, which I didn't think was possible with my fiberglass paddle. There is a substantial difference between the two. While it cost twice as much as the fiberglass paddle, it was well worth the extra money.

I am amazed
5/5

While purchasing my new kayak, I neglected to do any research into the paddle and bought a cheap Coleman rig that was on clearance at my dealer. My intuition told me something wasn't right after the first time out, so I started researching and eventually settled There is a world of difference. I had more power, speed, and stamina, and I was much lighter. You would do yourself a favor if you bought a It's so nice to see.
