Aquabound Aerial Carbon 2 piece Crank Shaft Kayak Paddle

Take your paddling to another level with the most innovative paddle in whitewater. The Aquabound Aerial Carbon 2 piece Crank Shaft Kayak Paddle will keep you in control in burly whitewater with an ergonomic crank shaft and heavy duty construction. Use it for years thanks to the unmatched durability of Lam-Lok™ a US Patent Pending technology that keeps your Aerial paddle performing at maximum power—for the long-haul. Quickly adapt to paddling conditions with 5 cm of adjustable length and infinite offset angles.

ABOUT THE BLADES

• Aerial Minor blade size best suited for small to medium stature paddlers or those looking to maximize efficiency when running rivers. The Major blade is better for bigger paddlers or those looking for more power. 
• Wide, flattened foam spine simulates performance qualities of both a foil blade and a compression-molded carbon blade
• Reinforced 100% carbon blade peg insert maximizes blade-to-shaft joint strength while matching the stiffness/flex balance of the entire paddle. Benefit from built-in durability
• Smooth transition from blade to shaft. No sharp edges to scrape hands or extra material to add friction in the water

ABOUT THE SHAFT

• Crank shaft designed for maximum efficiency, control and comfort (with bends in all the right places)
  100% carbon construction optimized for a stiffness/flex balance between that of traditional carbon and fiberglass shafts to ease strain on shoulders
• High-tech, spread tow carbon weave increases the mechanical properties of the material (strength, stiffness, impact resistance) while reducing weight
• Ergonomic grip shape designed to match the natural shape of a closed hand
• Extra-long grip sections allow flexibility for hand placement to fit a greater number of shoulder widths and paddler preferences
• Tactile grip coating applied to shaft to help get a better hold–and it won’t destroy paddler calluses, to boot
• Designed for hand placement in line with blades
• Two-piece breakdown with Versa-Lok™ ferrule

ABOUT THE VERSA-LOK™ FERRULE

• Versa-Lok™ allows 5 cm of adjustable length and infinite offset angles. Adjust on the fly to confidently navigate tight passages or run long stretches with your ideal paddle fit
• Beefed up Versa-Lok™ to meet the rigors of whitewater paddling. Custom blended nylon ferrule material with very high fiberglass content for strength
• Secure, tight locked connection that grips onto the 100% carbon ferrule insert
• Ferrule insert extends extra far into the shaft, matching the stiffness/flex balance of the entire paddle
• Engineered to feel like paddling a one-piece with the versatility of a two-piece
