At 28.75 oz, Aqua Bound rates it the lightest flatwater injection molded kayak paddle at its price point. Paddling Magazine named it a 2023 Best Paddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-sized Sting Ray blade is made for low-angle paddling, where the stroke is more horizontal and relaxed. It slices in and out of the water, cuts fatigue from wind resistance, and still gives enough torque to turn the kayak. The sharp dihedral keeps the stroke smooth with no flutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 100% carbon shaft and carbon-reinforced nylon blades make long days on lakes and rivers less tiring. The Posi-Lok ferrule adjusts blade offset in 15-degree increments.
