Questions & Answers

Aside from the blade length, what distinguishes the eagleray and stingray models? In the photo, the eagle ray's blade appears to be flat. is it?

EagleRay is a small fish that only weighs a few ounces. more, and it has a 98-square-inch blade for more pulling power (think heavier loads). With a midsize blade of 87 square inches, the StingRay is more lightweight (think all-day comfort on flat water). Both blades are curved in some way. Buyers should have a clear understanding of how and why they will use their paddles.

The aquabound sting ray hybrid 2 has a smaller blade size than many of the other paddles, which I noticed. Is it critical?

I've tried a lot of different paddles and this one is by far my favorite, despite the fact that the blade size is a little smaller. Overall, it is far superior to any other, and I adore it.

What size should I use if I'm a 5'4 female?

Good day, 5'3" lady! When deciding on the length of a paddle, we consider three factors. Your height, the width of your boat, and how high you hold your arms while paddling are all factors to consider. In general, if your kayak is 23-feet long, it's a good size. You'd need a paddle that's 220cm wide to cover 28" of width. If your boat is between 28 and 30 feet in length, It's a 230cm if it's 32" wide. Atkenco, I hope we've been of assistance.

Should I get the 240cm or the 250cm because I'm 6'2" and my kayak is 30" wide?

Although I am not an expert paddler, I prefer the 250cm. Because I have a tandem kayak, I also purchased a 240cm for my paddle buddy.

I paid a high price for failing to read the small print
3/5

I'd give it a higher rating if the difference between two nearly identical items for sale wasn't hidden in the fine print. This paddle has a three-hole ferule as well as a Posi-Grip handle. If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words " In either direction, the three holes provide a straight and 45-degree offset. The Posi- Lok provides you with a number of 15-degree offsets in both directions. I was looking for a Posi- I knew the paddle had a three-hole option, but I didn't realize it. br>br>The titles of the two paddles are EXACTLY THE SAME, so be careful! Pay attention to the small print. br>br>I was furious when I realized I hadn't received the paddle I ordered, and the worst part was that shipping it back would cost more than $60. br>br>With the exception of the ferule, I now have the other paddle, which is identical in every way. The decals, light weight, blades, and name are all identical.

5/5

It's light and glides through the water with ease. We purchased this paddle based on the recommendations of professional and experienced recreational kayakers, as well as Amazon customer reviews. Customers who visit com (Occasionally, the pros will suggest a product, but only if it is long-lasting. ) Users with more experience will notice issues that the pros have missed. ) This paddle has no drawbacks that I've discovered. Oh, and it comes highly recommended by our local kayak shop. We could have gotten slightly lighter paddles for more money, but the weight difference was not significant enough to justify the price increase, and our kayaking store didn't believe we'd benefit in any way if we went up in price. We kayak in the bay, ocean (on low-speed days), and rivers. On windy days, as well as on lakes and rivers. There are no rapids, and the waters are mostly calm.

Paddle is fantastic
5/5

This is a great way to get started paddling. It's very light and easy to wear. I would strongly suggest it. The full carbon paddle is a waste of money. There is only a slight weight difference.

I really want to like this paddle, but it has a lot of sharp knurling on it that I don't like
3/5

I really want to like this paddle, but it has sharp knurling that has scratched up my yak. Even unintentional exposure to light can cause harm. I sanded the last 10" and fixed the majority of the issues, but now my paddle does not have the same attractive appearance as it should. The ferrule has no wiggle, and the blade angle selection is clearly marked and simple to set and change. I'll keep using it, but I'm not sure why the knurling all the way to the blade was considered necessary by the manufacturer.

It appeals to my tastes
5/5

I've never purchased a paddle before. I looked around for a long time in the hopes of finding something worthwhile, and this paddle fit the bill. I've only used it three times so far, each time for about three hours, and I'm very pleased with the construction quality and weight. I'm hoping it'll last a long time, but for now, I'm very happy with it. It was well worth at least twice as much as I had planned.

It was a nice paddle
5/5

Over the last week, I experimented with this paddle for the first time. The paddle held up well after several uses. It's a little lighter than my old paddle, and the blades are a little smaller, but this didn't seem to affect performance. All of my expectations were met!.

The best value for money
5/5

The aqua bound hybrid is a true work of art. We were out on the water for about 2 hours and I could barely feel the weight of the paddle after that. It weighs around 30 oz and has a 60° offset on the right or left hand. It lacks the posilock offset system, which is supposed to be the best, but since I'm a beginner, this will suffice for now.

The material is light
5/5

There isn't much more to say than what the description already says; it's light weight, and once snapped together, the paddle is rock solid with no play. This level of quality comes at a reasonable price. My purchase made me extremely happy.
