It weighs 30 oz, 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.\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\u003eVideos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-grid\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-item\"\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/omQWuwDCzjQ\" title=\"Sting Ray Hybrid Posi-Lok Kayak Paddle\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSting Ray Hybrid Posi-Lok Kayak Paddle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\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 abXII Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 x 18 in.
