Features
ABOUT LAM-LOK™ US Patent Pending
- Double down on edge protection with innovative Lam-Lok™ US 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 fiberglass 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
- Two-piece breakdown with Versa-Lok™ ferrule
ABOUT THE VERSA-LOK™ FERRULE
- Versa-Lok™ allows 5 cm of adjustable length and infinite offset angles. Adjust on the fly to confidently navigate tight passages or run long stretches with your ideal paddle fit
- Beefed up Versa-Lok™ to meet the rigors of whitewater paddling. Custom blended nylon ferrule material with very high fiberglass content for strength
- Secure, tight locked connection that grips onto the 100% carbon ferrule insert
- Ferrule insert extends extra far into the shaft, matching the stiffness/flex balance of the entire paddle
- Engineered to feel like paddling a one-piece with the versatility of a two-piece
