It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.
Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.
Kayak Shipments
We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.
If we hand deliver it
Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.
If it ships LTL freight
Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.
What we cover
Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.
Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.

The Aqua Bound Sting Ray Fiberglass 2-Piece Snap-Button Kayak Paddle puts Aqua Bound's most popular flatwater blade on a fiberglass shaft, with tight-fitting construction and reliable performance. It weighs 33.5 oz and is the lightest flatwater injection molded kayak paddle at its price point.
The 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 gives enough torque to turn the kayak. The fiberglass shaft is lighter than aluminum, warm, and flexible and forgiving.
The snap-button ferrule is fixed length, tight fitting and has no wobble. Three holes set the feather at 0 or 60 degrees, left or right hand control. Hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin.

Aqua Bound Sting Ray Fiberglass 2-Piece Snap-Button Questions, Answered
How does the snap-button ferrule on the Sting Ray Fiberglass work?
The paddle is fixed length and snaps together with a push button. Three holes let you set the feather at 0 or 60 degrees, for left or right hand control. Aqua Bound builds it tight fitting and long-lasting, with no wobble, and the carbon ferrule insert is a step up from plastic or glass.
Is the Sting Ray a high-angle or low-angle kayak paddle?
Low angle. The Sting Ray is Aqua Bound's mid-sized, slender blade, built for a horizontal, relaxed stroke. It gives enough torque to turn the kayak without wearing you out on a long day. For a more vertical, powerful stroke, the Manta Ray is the high-angle version of this paddle.
What is the difference between the Sting Ray Fiberglass and the other Sting Ray paddles?
The Fiberglass version uses a 100% fiberglass shaft with fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades. Fiberglass is lighter than aluminum, warm in the hand, and more flexible and forgiving. The Hybrid and Carbon versions move to a carbon shaft and a Posi-Lok ferrule for less weight.
How much does the Sting Ray Fiberglass weigh?
33.5 oz, per Aqua Bound. Less weight on the end of your arms makes paddling less fatiguing on longer trips.
What lengths do you carry?
230, 240, 250 and 260 cm. Pick the length from the dropdown above.
Where is the Sting Ray Fiberglass made, and what is the warranty?
Hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA. Aqua Bound backs it with a 2-year manufacturing warranty.
How does the Sting Ray Fiberglass ship?
Ships parcel, nationwide. It breaks down into two pieces and boxes up, so it goes out as a standard ground shipment.
