AQUA BOUND Sting Ray Hybrid Kayak Paddle

The Aqua-Bound Sting Ray, a kayak paddle proudly hand-built in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, is designed for low-angle paddlers, wide boats, and those seeking maximum efficiency for long-distance paddling. Crafted by a team of paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Sting Ray is the preferred choice for paddlers who enjoy a more relaxed or horizontal forward stroke style.

The Sting Ray Hybrid, Aqua Bound's most popular paddle, combines Fiberglass-reinforced blades with a Carbon Fiber shaft, offering a unique blend of performance and durability. The carefully engineered blade shape of the Sting Ray effortlessly slices through the water, providing a silky-smooth, low-flutter forward stroke. The smaller blade size (91 sq. in) helps to reduce fatigue from wind resistance, making it an ideal choice for long-distance paddling.

The upgraded Fiberglass and Nylon blade material used in the Sting Ray is stronger, less prone to flex, and thicker, ensuring long-term durability and robustness. The 100% woven carbon fiber shaft is the lightest yet strongest material option available, making it less fatiguing and more enjoyable to use on extended trips. The ovalized design of the shaft provides increased comfort and control, while also helping to prevent blisters.

The Sting Ray's patented Posi-Lok ferrule is renowned for its secure fit, simplicity, and longevity, allowing paddlers to quickly and intuitively adjust the blade offset in 15-degree increments to accommodate wind and other paddling conditions.

Aqua Bound paddles, including the Sting Ray, are proudly hand-built in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, catering to the needs of those who enjoy lake, river, and kayaking, packrafting, racing, and kayak fishing.
