The ORANGE and YELLOW blades found in our Recreational paddles are made from a fibreglass reinforced, high temperature nylon material. The blades are extremely durable, providing paddlers with a quality entry-level paddle that will last for years! These blades are only available on our recreational paddles with aluminum shafting. Found standard on all of AquaBound's Recreational and Touring paddles, this unique ferrule features a glass reinforced nylon material. Grooves on the ferrule prevent the build up of sand and sludge, maintaining a tight, trouble- free ferrule for years!
