The Aqua-Bound Manta Ray Hybrid Posi-Lok pairs a full carbon shaft with tough fiberglass reinforced blades, giving high-angle paddlers a serious performance upgrade at a price point that makes sense.

The abXII fiberglass reinforced nylon blades are redesigned for improved efficiency, with a sharp dihedral that keeps the stroke flutter-free and a stiffer construction that reduces energy-robbing flex on hard pulls. At 102.5 sq. in., the oversized blade generates real power for moving loaded kayaks, packrafts, and fishing rigs, while retaining enough forgiveness to stay comfortable over a full day on the water. It's a blade construction that suits the varied demands Canadian paddlers put on their gear across a long season.

The 100% carbon ovalized shaft is light, strong, and easy on the hands, while the Posi-Lok ferrule with carbon insert offers quick, reliable blade offset adjustment in 15-degree increments. The carbon insert outperforms plastic or fibreglass alternatives for weight and long-term durability. Hand-built in Osceola, Wisconsin, by paddlers who stand behind their work.
