Aqua Bound Manta Ray Hybrid | 2-Piece Posi-Lok
More Power in Every Stroke. More Confidence on the Water.
When your kayak is loaded with fishing gear or your adventures call for powerful strokes, you need a paddle that keeps up. The Aqua Bound Manta Ray Hybrid 2-Piece Posi-Lok Kayak Paddle combines a lightweight carbon shaft with broad fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades to deliver responsive power and control.
Designed for high-angle paddling, the Manta Ray Hybrid helps you maneuver your kayak, maintain momentum, and handle the demands of a more aggressive paddling style.
Whether you're navigating your favorite fishing waters, exploring a new lake, or paddling a gear-loaded kayak, the Manta Ray Hybrid delivers a practical balance of performance, durability, and value.

Carbon 100% carbon shaft
102.5 Blade area, sq. in.
Built for Power and Control
A High-Angle Kayak Paddle That Works as Hard as You Do
Not every kayak paddle is designed for the same type of stroke. The Aqua Bound Manta Ray Hybrid features a shorter, wider blade profile intended for high-angle paddling and stronger forward strokes.
Its 102.5-square-inch blades provide substantial surface area for moving water, making this paddle worth considering for kayak fishing, loaded kayaks, and paddlers who prefer a more powerful stroke.
The blade's dihedral shape helps water flow smoothly across the blade during the stroke, reducing flutter and improving tracking through the water.
Sunjammers Adventure Guide Tip
If you paddle a wide fishing kayak or frequently carry extra gear, a high-angle paddle like the Manta Ray Hybrid may be a good fit. Its larger blades provide plenty of purchase in the water, but proper paddle length and technique are still important.
Why Choose the Manta Ray Hybrid?
Performance Features That Make Every Adventure Better
Powerful High-Angle Blades
The oversized blade shape is designed for responsive forward strokes and confident maneuvering, particularly with loaded kayaks and more aggressive paddling.
Lightweight Carbon Shaft
A 100% carbon shaft provides a lightweight, stiff connection between your hands and blades, helping deliver a responsive paddling experience.
Durable Hybrid Blades
Aqua Bound's abXII fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades are designed to combine durability with controlled flex and dependable performance.
Smooth, Stable Strokes
The redesigned blade profile and pronounced dihedral help reduce unwanted blade flutter, with smooth entry and exit through the water.
Secure Posi-Lok Connection
The two-piece Posi-Lok ferrule provides a secure connection with feather-angle adjustment in 15-degree increments to the left or right.
Comfortable Ovalized Grip
The carbon shaft features ovalized hand-placement areas designed for a natural grip, better blade orientation awareness, and paddle control.
Two Colors. One Great Paddle.
Choose Sunset Red or White
The Aqua Bound Manta Ray Hybrid 2-Piece Posi-Lok is available in two blade colors. Both share the same paddle design, materials, and performance features.
Sunset Red
A vibrant blade color that stands out against the water and adds a bold look to your paddling setup.
White
A clean, classic blade color that pairs well with nearly any kayak.

Find Your Fit
Who Is the Aqua Bound Manta Ray Hybrid Best For?
The Manta Ray Hybrid is designed for paddlers who prioritize effective power transfer, durability, and responsive kayak control.
Consider this paddle if you:
- Enjoy kayak fishing and frequently carry equipment.
- Prefer a high-angle forward paddling stroke.
- Want a carbon shaft without the expense of an all-carbon paddle.
- Paddle loaded recreational or touring kayaks.
- Appreciate larger blades for quick maneuvering.
- Want a dependable two-piece paddle for transport and storage.
- Prefer American-made paddlesports equipment.
If you prefer a relaxed, low-angle touring stroke, consider comparing the Aqua Bound Sting Ray series before making your decision.
Choose Your Paddle Length
Available Manta Ray Hybrid Posi-Lok Paddle Lengths
The Manta Ray Hybrid 2-Piece Posi-Lok is available in fixed lengths from 200 cm to 260 cm in 5 cm increments.
200 | 205 | 210 | 215 | 220 | 225 | 230 | 235 | 240 | 245 | 250 | 255 | 260 cm
The Posi-Lok ferrule adjusts the feather angle of the blades, but does not change the paddle's overall length.
What Size Kayak Paddle Do You Need?
Your ideal paddle length depends on kayak width, seating height, your height, and paddling style. Wider kayaks and higher seating positions often call for longer paddles.
For kayak fishing, consider the width of your boat and whether you paddle from an elevated seat.
Sunjammers Paddle Sizing Tip
We typically stock the Manta Ray Hybrid in 240 cm and 250 cm at our Historic St. Andrews store. These are useful lengths for many recreational and fishing kayak setups, but neither length is right for every paddler.
Before purchasing, measure your kayak's width and consider your seating position. If you're uncertain about sizing, contact Sunjammers with your kayak model, width, and height so our team can help you narrow down your options.
