AquaBound Aerial Major Fiberglass, 1-PC, Straight Shaft

The new rebel of whitewater is here with beefed-up blades and daring durability for the most hardcore of runs and conditions. Expect more from fiberglass blades and experience unmatched longevity with Lam-Lok™ US Patent Pending technology to keep your Aerial Major Fiberglass performing at maximum power—for the long haul.

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
• A wide, flattened foam spine simulates the performance qualities of both a foil blade and a compression-molded blade
• The 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

• 100% carbon construction optimized for a stiffness/flex balance between that of traditional carbon and fiberglass shafts to ease the 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 is applied to the shaft to help get a better hold–and it won’t destroy paddler calluses, to boot
• Designed for hand placement in line with blades
• Fixed length and offset angle
