With over 30 years of experience in the paddle industry, veteran designer Joe Matuska leads a team of engineers and plastics experts, focused on producing a leading edge product. Our goal is to provide quality products at a lower cost to the consumer than anything else on the market. Our paddles offer premium performance, are lightweight, and are incredibly durable.

As the paddle industry's ONLY in-house injection molder of paddle blades and components, Aqua-Bound has tested HUNDREDS of composite thermoplastics over the years. We have bent, broken, and smashed numerous paddle blades in order to provide you with the lightest, toughest paddle on the market. Our unique materials are the result of that testing; a blend of thermoplastics formulated specifically for the use and abuse a paddle is subjected to.

The toughest blades on the market require shafting that matches their strength and durability. Whether fiberglass, aluminum, or carbon fiber, the Aqua-Bound tubing department is responsible for the design, testing, quality control and assembly of all paddle shafting. With the lowest warranty return in the industry, our guys are good!

Aqua-Bound's new Ray Series and carbon laminate paddles were born of this vision...

A new selection of paddles by Aqua-Bound that represents the next level in paddle evolution. These paddles are super lightweight and balanced with precision - you can feel the performance in your hands.
