Aqua-Bound Sting Ray Hybrid 2-Piece Posi-Lok™ Kayak Paddle

Love the paddle so far. Arrived earlier than expected which was a bonus, good price!

I began kayaking with a $40.00 aluminum paddle. I struggled at times in keeping up with my kayaking buddies. They always waited for me. I would be exhausted when going into some 15-25 mph winds. I had to buy a lighter paddle. I researched kayaking paddles and decided upon the Aqua-Bound Sting Ray Hybrid. I am very pleased with this paddle. I can keep up with my buddies. I'm not as tired. It's a great paddle. This paddle was worth the price. The adage "you get what you pay for" is true regarding having the best tool for the job. This kayaking paddle is the best.

My paddle arrived carefully packaged within 2 days, much faster than original estimate shipping. Very pleased and can't wait to get out and paddle!

Lovely. Light weight, slices through the water smoothly. We bought this paddle based on reviews from professional and experieneced recreational kayakers, and as always, compare them with reviews from Amazon.com customers. (Sometimes the pro's with recommend a product but long-time users will catch problems not mentioned by pro's.) I've not come across any downsides for this paddle. Oh, and our local kayak store recommends it. At this price point, these are the best. We could have gotten slightly lighter paddles for more money but the weight difference was not significant enough to justify the increase in price. Our kayaking store didn't feel we'd gain in any way if we went up in price. We kayak in the bay, ocean (on low-wind days) and on lakes and rivers. No white water, mostly peaceful waters.

easily pulls through the water. Works great for either gentle shallow paddling or deep fast paddling. I love the ferrule in this vs other 2 piece paddle

Liked the way it didn’t tire me out after paddling for a couple of hours. Excellent product and price.

This is first high end paddle we’ve had, and it makes a big difference.

I want to love this paddle but it has sharp knurling which has scratched the heck out of my yak. Even incidental light contact leaves damage. I sanded the last 10" and solved most of problem but now my paddle is not a nice looking as it should be. The ferrule is excellent with no wiggle and blade angle selection is well marked and easy to set and change. I'll keep using it but don't understand why the manufacturer felt the knurling was necessary all the way to the blade.
