It weighs 30 oz, which Aqua Bound puts at 4 oz lighter than comparable models, with a carbon shaft and fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades.\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 gives enough torque to turn the kayak without wearing you out. It is the lightest flatwater injection molded kayak paddle at its price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Posi-Lok ferrule adjusts blade offset in 15-degree increments with a secure fit. The shaft is ovalized where your hands go for comfort, control and fewer blisters.
