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 4-Piece Posi-Lok Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle is the compact Tango for taking your paddle wherever you go, with light spread tow carbon blades in a 4-piece build. It weighs 25 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.
The 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. Made in the USA.

Aqua Bound Tango Carbon 4-Piece Posi-Lok Straight Shaft Questions, Answered
How does the Posi-Lok ferrule work?
Press the buttons, twist, and the blades lock at a new offset. It adjusts in 15-degree increments, left and right, so you can change the feather for wind or conditions without tools. The paddle length stays fixed. Aqua Bound builds it corrosion-free, and the carbon insert keeps the fit tight for years.
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 small does the 4-piece break down?
Two snap-buttons in the blade pegs let the blades come off the shaft, so it breaks into 4 pieces. That fits a pack, a duffel or a packraft, and it works as a spare paddle. Aqua Bound says the tight-fitting joints feel the same as the standard 2-piece.
How much does the Tango Carbon 4-Piece Posi-Lok Straight Shaft weigh?
25 oz, per Aqua Bound. Less weight on the end of your arms makes long days on the water less tiring.
What lengths do you carry?
210, 215, 220, 225, 230, 235, 240, 245, 250, 255, 260 cm. Pick the length 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 four pieces and boxes up, so it goes out as a standard ground shipment.
