Lightweight, tough and suited to the waters you've been dying to explore, the small-shaft Aqua-Bound Stingray Fiberglass paddle is a great value. Small-diameter paddle shaft lessens fatigue and improves comfort for paddlers with small hands. Lightweight fiberglass shaft offers a bit of flex on each stroke, and it feels warm to the touch on cold days. ABX resin blade material, a blend of fiberglass-reinforced nylon, provides excellent durability when pushing off rocks or barnacles. Asymmetrical dihedral blade shape provides a flutter-free stroke and superior directional control. Grooves on the ferrule prevent sand and sludge build-up, maintaining a tight, trouble-free connection. Feathering is adjustable to 60?? right-hand control or unfeathered; 2-piece design breaks down to simplify storage or transport. Rubber drip rings keep water away from hands and lap.
