Aqua Bound MantaRay Carbon – The perfect paddle for a day out on the lake.
Take your paddling to the next level with the Aqua Bound MantaRay Carbon Posi-Lok 4pc. Designed with performance in mind, its oversized blades and lightweight carbon construction offer ultimate power with minimal effort. Whether you're kayak fishing, racing, or tackling flatwater, this paddle’s blend of stiffness, strength, and precision provides smooth, fatigue-free strokes, even on longer trips.
The redesigned carbon-reinforced nylon blades deliver a stiffer and more lightweight experience, thanks to their sharp dihedral shape, allowing for better maneuverability and control. Paired with a carbon shaft that's ovalized for comfort and grip, the MantaRay provides optimal paddle performance, reducing hand strain and giving you an edge on the water. The Posi-Lok ferrule system offers precise adjustability, adapting to various conditions for the best blade angle every time.
Built with portability in mind, the MantaRay’s 4-piece design ensures compact storage and easy transport. Its snap-button assembly provides a solid, reliable fit that performs as if it were a single-piece paddle. This is the go-to paddle for those who seek durability, convenience, and long-lasting quality.

Water Definitions
Stillwater: Bodies of water such as lakes, dams, or estuaries where the water is generally calm or without significant current flow. Little to no risk of regular impacts of the paddle on obstacles.
River: A flowing watercourse with a current that has continuous movement. Low to moderate risk of regularly impacting the blade of the paddle on rocks or obstacles.
Whitewater: Sections of a river where the water flows rapidly over rocks and creates turbulence and aerated water due to steep gradients or obstacles in the riverbed. High risk of regular impacts of the paddle blade on rocks and obstacles.
