Carbon from tip to tip, the Sting Ray Carbon offers a carbon shaft and carbon blade, without the typical “carbon” price point.
Weighing just 29.75 ounces, the Sting Ray Carbon is the lightest adjustable-length, flatwater injected-molded kayak paddle available at this price point. The redesigned blade features a stronger, more efficient shape that provides a smoother forward stroke with less flutter, a stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit. Upgraded carbon and nylon blade material is thicker and stronger, offering less flex and greater durability for long-term use. Carbon-reinforced nylon blades are known for their ideal balance of strength, weight, and stiffness, making them one of the best options in plastics. The 92.5 sq. inch blade is the perfect size for efficient paddling, delivering enough torque for maneuverability without causing excessive fatigue. Using a traditional mid-sized blade design favored by low-angle paddlers who use a more horizontal, relaxed stroke. A carefully engineered blade shape slices through the water with minimal wind resistance, reducing fatigue. The sharp dihedral ensures a smooth, flutter-free forward stroke, preserving energy on longer paddling trips.
The 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, providing an effortless paddling experience and reducing fatigue on extended journeys. The shaft’s tight carbon weave adds strength and durability, while the ovalized grip enhances comfort, control, and helps prevent blisters.
The Versa-Lok™ system offers 15cm of additional length and infinite feathering options, all with a secure, user-friendly design that resists corrosion and ensures longevity. The carbon ferrule insert provides a lightweight, tight, and long-lasting solution, offering a significant upgrade over plastic or glass ferrules.
