Aerial Major Carbon 1-Piece Crank Shaft Kayak Paddle (Composite Second)

ABOUT LAM-LOK™ Patent Pending

• Double down on edge protection with innovative Lam-Lok™ 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

Here at Aqua Bound, we build all our paddles to order, so paddles don't collect dust or become dated. As soon as you place your order, a real person in our Osceola, Wisconsin factory will start preparing your paddle. Shipping windows vary by product and orders generally ship in 1-3 business days after your order is processed.

Our quality assurance department has extremely stringent standards when it comes to our products. A paddle identified to be “first” quality has no more than one minor cosmetic imperfection per blade and none on any other components. Ideally, there are no imperfections, and often this is the case.

A Cosmetic Second paddle is allowed only 2-4 minor imperfections. Rest assured, these blemishes are in appearance only and in no way affect the function or structural integrity of the paddle. Examples include (but are not limited to) minor scratches, resin bubbles, crooked/misplaced graphics, discolored material, or scuff marks caught by our quality team. Cosmetic Second FAQs
