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 straight shaft is designed for hand placement in line with the blades. Whether it is a travel partner or a back-up paddle, Aqua Bound calls the 4-piece a whitewater multi-tool: 5 cm of adjustable length, infinite offset angles and 4-piece packability. 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 4\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 Straight, 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.
