It pairs fiberglass blades with a 100% carbon shaft, and Aqua Bound's Lam-Lok edge protection keeps the Aerial Major Fiberglass performing at maximum power for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aerial Major is the larger of the two Aerial blade sizes, 45.5 x 19.2 cm with 700 sq. cm of surface area. Aqua Bound sizes it for paddlers who are larger-statured, in excellent paddling shape, or who want extra surface area for extremely responsive, aggressive moves on the river. A wide, flattened foam spine gives the blade qualities of both a foil blade and a compression-molded blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ergonomic crank shaft has bends in all the right places for efficiency, control and comfort. The Versa-Lok ferrule gives you 5 cm of adjustable length and infinite offset angles, so you can adapt to conditions on the fly. Aqua Bound builds every Aerial to order at its factory in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, and backs it with a 2-year manufacturing warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLengths:\u003c\/strong\u003e 191-196, 194-199, 197-202, 200-205 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crank, 100% carbon fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiberglass with aramid thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.5 x 19.2 cm (700 sq. cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43 oz.
