Aqua Bound Sting Ray Carbon | 2-Piece Posi-Lok
Less Weight. Smoother Strokes. More Adventure.
A great kayaking adventure begins with equipment that feels right. The Aqua Bound Sting Ray Carbon 2-Piece Posi-Lok Kayak Paddle combines a lightweight carbon shaft, durable carbon-reinforced nylon blades, and a secure fixed-length ferrule system for smooth, efficient paddling.
Designed for a relaxed low-angle stroke, the Sting Ray Carbon helps you maintain a comfortable rhythm whether you're exploring lakes, bays, rivers, or coastal waterways.
At just 28.75 ounces in its manufacturer's listed configuration, the Sting Ray Carbon Posi-Lok is a smart upgrade for paddlers who want to reduce paddle weight without sacrificing durability or control.

Made for Enjoying the Journey
A Lightweight Low-Angle Kayak Paddle for Touring and Recreation
Not every paddler wants to power through the water with aggressive strokes. Many kayakers prefer to settle into a steady rhythm and enjoy the trip.
The Aqua Bound Sting Ray Carbon is built around that relaxed approach. Its longer, narrower blades support a low-angle stroke, where the paddle shaft moves through the water at a more horizontal angle.
The Sting Ray's 92.5-square-inch blades offer an efficient balance of surface area and maneuvering power.
Its refined blade shape and pronounced dihedral promote smooth water flow, helping reduce unwanted flutter during forward strokes.
For kayakers who enjoy exploring at a comfortable pace, this design can make longer outings more enjoyable.
Sunjammers Adventure Guide Tip
If you enjoy touring, sightseeing, recreational kayaking, or longer flatwater trips, the Sting Ray Carbon deserves a close look. If your stroke is more upright and powerful, compare the Aqua Bound Manta Ray Carbon.
A Better Fit for Your Adventure
Who Should Choose the Sting Ray Carbon Posi-Lok?
The Sting Ray Carbon 2-Piece Posi-Lok is designed for recreational and touring kayakers who value a lightweight paddle, reliable construction, and a simple fixed-length setup.
This paddle may be an excellent fit if you:
- Enjoy flatwater or recreational kayaking.
- Prefer smooth, low-angle paddling.
- Want a lighter upgrade from an entry-level paddle.
- Already know your preferred kayak paddle length.
- Want a two-piece paddle for easier transport and storage.
- Appreciate the feel of a carbon shaft.
- Prefer a secure Posi-Lok ferrule system.
If you're still experimenting with paddle length or frequently switch between kayaks of different widths, the adjustable Sting Ray Carbon Versa-Lok may be a better fit.
Why Choose the Sting Ray Carbon?
Thoughtful Features for Comfortable Paddling
Lightweight Carbon Shaft
The 100% carbon shaft provides a lightweight, responsive connection between your hands and the blades.
Carbon-Reinforced Blades
Aqua Bound's abX carbon-reinforced nylon blades offer a durable combination of strength, stiffness, and efficient performance.
Secure Posi-Lok Ferrule
The patented Posi-Lok system creates a secure connection between paddle sections and offers simple blade-angle adjustment.
Comfortable Ovalized Grip
The shaft is ovalized at the hand positions to support comfort, control, and awareness of blade orientation.
Efficient Blade Profile
The Sting Ray's slender blade design complements relaxed low-angle strokes and smooth forward paddling.
Easy Two-Piece Transport
Separate the paddle into two sections for convenient vehicle transport and storage.
Simple and Reliable
What Makes the Aqua Bound Posi-Lok Ferrule Different?
A kayak paddle's connection system matters every time you assemble, adjust, or transport your paddle.
Aqua Bound's Posi-Lok ferrule is designed to provide a dependable, secure connection between the two paddle sections.
The system allows feather-angle adjustments in 15-degree increments to the left or right.
That means you can adjust the orientation of the blades to match your preference and paddling conditions.
The Posi-Lok system includes a carbon ferrule insert and a dual-button release design.
Important Difference: Posi-Lok vs. Versa-Lok
The Posi-Lok version has a fixed overall paddle length. It adjusts blade feathering angles but does not make the paddle longer or shorter.
If you need adjustable overall length, choose a Sting Ray Carbon Versa-Lok instead.
Choose Your Length
Aqua Bound Sting Ray Carbon Posi-Lok Paddle Sizes

How Do I Choose the Right Paddle Length?
The ideal kayak paddle length depends on multiple factors, including your height, kayak width, seat height, and preferred paddling style.
Narrow touring kayaks may call for a different length than wider recreational kayaks.
Because this is a fixed-length paddle, choosing the correct size before ordering is especially important.
Sunjammers Paddle Sizing Tip
Tell our Adventure Guides your kayak model, kayak width, height, and seating position. We'll help you evaluate which fixed paddle length is most appropriate.
Unsure between two lengths? Consider whether the adjustable Versa-Lok version better suits your needs.

Sting Ray Hybrid

Choose Sting Ray If:
