The Sting Ray kayak paddle is preferred by paddlers who enjoy a more relaxed or horizontal forward stroke style. The Sting Ray Fiberglass pairs Fiberglass reinforced blades with a Fiberglass shaft.
The carefully engineered Sting Ray blade shape slices into and out of the water provides a silky-smooth, low flutter forward stroke. The smaller blade size (91 sq. in) limits fatigue from to wind resistance. The upgraded Fiberglass and Nylon blade material is stronger (meaning less flex) and thicker, making it more durable and robust long-term.
100% fiberglass shaft is durable, strong corrosion resistant, yet lighter than commodity aluminum shafts, so it will hold up over time and not drain all your energy while paddling. Fiberglass 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 while limiting blisters.
Snap-button ferrule is 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.
