Aqua-Bound Aerial Major Carbon - Bent Shaft - 1-Piece

Go bigger, harder, and further with the most revolutionary paddle in whitewater.

Command the river with an ergonomic crank shaft and unmatched durability with Lam-Lok™ US Patent Pending technology to keep your Aerial Major Carbon performing at maximum power—for the long-haul.

Features:

• Double down on edge protection with innovative Lam-Lok™ US Patent Pending technology
• Lam-Lok™ mechanically bonds the laminated blade layers together with over 33 feet of an aramid thread around the most vulnerable parts of the blades, dramatically extending the life of your paddle
• Protects blade edges by resisting delamination, impact and abrasion
• Lam-Lok™ is 5-10x more effective at fighting delamination than blades without it
• ABOUT THE BLADES
  • Aerial Major blade size best suited for paddlers who are larger-statured, in excellent paddling shape or require extra surface area to enact extremely responsive, aggressive maneuvers
  • Wide, flattened foam spine simulates performance qualities of both a foil blade and a compression-molded 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 Fixed length and offset angle
• Warranty:Aqua Bound paddles are guaranteed against manufacturing defects for two years from date of purchase.
