Shipping Damage Free Guarantee

Accessory Shipments

Paddles, PFDs, dry bags, helmets, skirts, motors, rod holders, and accessories ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.

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 Tango Carbon 2-Piece Versa-Lok Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle pairs light spread tow carbon blades and low-angle performance with an adjustable length ferrule that fits more conditions and paddlers. It weighs 23 oz, with a T-700 carbon shaft.

The Tango is Aqua Bound's low-angle touring blade. It is long and slender for a relaxed stroke, and Aqua Bound calls it the smoothest forward stroke in paddles. Lam-Lok edge protection guards the blade edges and extends the life of the paddle.

Aqua Bound Tango Carbon 2-Piece Versa-Lok Straight Shaft Questions, Answered

How does the Versa-Lok ferrule work?

Open the clamp, slide the shaft to the length you want, set the feather angle, and close it. It gives 15 cm of length adjustment and infinite feather angles, so one paddle fits different paddlers, kayaks and conditions. Aqua Bound backs the clamp with structural and cyclical testing plus a decade of on-water use.

Is the Tango a high-angle or low-angle kayak paddle?

Low angle. The Tango's long, slender blade is built for a relaxed, horizontal stroke that holds up over long miles. For a steeper, high-energy stroke, the Whiskey is Aqua Bound's high-angle touring paddle.

What is the difference between the Tango Fiberglass and the Tango Carbon?

The Tango Carbon has spread tow carbon blades with Aramid on a carbon shaft. The Tango Fiberglass uses compression molded fiberglass blades. On the 2-piece straight shaft, the Carbon weighs 23 oz and the Fiberglass weighs 26 oz, per Aqua Bound.

How much does the Tango Carbon 2-Piece Versa-Lok Straight Shaft weigh?

23 oz, per Aqua Bound. Less weight on the end of your arms makes long days on the water less tiring.

What length ranges do you carry?

200-215, 210-225, 220-235, 230-245, 240-255, 250-265, 260-275 cm. Each range is how far the Versa-Lok adjusts. Pick the range from the dropdown above.

Where is the Tango Carbon made, and what is the warranty?

Made in the USA. Aqua Bound backs it with a 2-year manufacturing warranty.

How does the Tango Carbon ship?

Ships parcel, nationwide. It breaks down into two pieces and boxes up, so it goes out as a standard ground shipment.
