It weighs 29.75 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe oversized Manta Ray blade is built for power and control. Aqua Bound designs it for high-angle forward strokes, flatwater kayaking, packrafting, racing and kayak fishing. The sharp dihedral gives a smooth forward stroke with no flutter, and the blade size makes quick turns easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Posi-Lok ferrule adjusts blade offset in 15-degree increments, so you can change it for wind and conditions in seconds. It breaks down into 4 pieces, so it packs for travel, packrafting or a spare paddle, and Aqua Bound says the joints feel the same as a 2-piece. The shaft is ovalized where your hands go for comfort, control and fewer blisters. Hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Carbon, Ovalized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e abX Carbon Reinforced Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5 x 18 in.
