The most popular blade style for flatwater, the Sting Ray fibreglass offers tight-fitting construction and reliable performance.
- The Sting Ray fibreglass is the lightest flatwater injected moulded kayak paddle available at this price point
- Redesigned, stronger blade. The blade shape provides a smoother forward stroke with less chances for flutter, stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit
- The upgraded fibreglass and nylon blade material is stronger (meaningless flex) and thicker, making it more durable and robust long-term
- Fibreglass-reinforced nylon blades are designed for forgiveness and just the right amount of flex, keeping the kayak moving efficiently even with extra gear slowing you down
- Blade it the ideal size for efficiency, providing enough torque to maneuver the kayak without being overly fatiguing
- The traditional “mid-sized” or slender blade design is preferred by low-angle paddlers where the forward stroke is more horizontal or relaxed in nature
- The carefully engineered blade shape slices into and out of the water and limits fatigue due to wind resistance
- The sharp dihedral provides a silky smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering, preserving your energy for longer paddling trips
- 100% fibreglass shaft is durable and strong, yet lighter than commodity aluminum, so it will hold up in the most uncertain of conditions while not draining all your energy
- Fibreglass is also valued for being warm, plus flexible and forgiving when compared to aluminum
- The shaft is ovalized where the hands go for more comfort and control, and to limit the chances for blisters
- Snap-button ferrule is fixed length plus tight fitting, secure, and long-lasting. No wobbling or inefficiencies like commodity systems. It’s not as technical as some modern ferrule systems, but one of the more robust options
- Comes with 3-hole for adjustable feather angles of 0° or 60°, left or right-hand control
- Carbon ferrule insert is light, tight, and right for the long haul. This is a sizable upgrade over plastic or glass ferrule inserts
- Two head turning colours that make a real statement on the water: Sunset Red, the ideal companion for an evening paddle trip, and the shot of life that is Electric Green
