Aqua Bound Ultralight Tetra | Versa-Lok Straight Shaft
Great adventures deserve equipment that works with you. The Aqua Bound Ultralight Tetra 2-Piece Versa-Lok Kayak Paddle combines lightweight carbon construction, buoyant foam-core blades, and an adjustable shaft to deliver premium touring performance with the flexibility to fit your adventure.
Whether you're exploring new waterways, changing kayaks, or fine-tuning your paddling position, the Tetra Versa-Lok lets you adjust your paddle length and blade angle to match the way you paddle.
Designed and manufactured in the USA, this premium touring paddle is built for paddlers who want less weight, greater versatility, and more confidence on the water.
Why Choose the Tetra Versa-Lok?
The Versa-Lok ferrule gives you 10 cm of length adjustment. Fine-tune your setup for different kayaks, seating positions, or paddling preferences.
With unlimited feathering angles, you can adjust your blade orientation to match your stroke instead of being limited to preset positions.
Advanced carbon spread tow weave provides strength and stiffness while keeping the paddle lightweight and responsive for touring adventures.
Full foam-core, low-angle blades create a buoyant paddling feel. Their touring-focused shape is designed to help deliver smooth, efficient strokes.
Aqua Bound's LAM-LOK™ edge protection helps defend against impacts, abrasion, and blade delamination.
The textured carbon shaft provides secure hand placement, while seamless blade-to-shaft construction contributes to durability and responsive control.
The Versa-Lok Advantage
Choosing the right paddle length can be challenging, especially if you paddle multiple kayaks or experiment with different seating positions.
The Versa-Lok™ ferrule helps solve that challenge by giving you 10 cm of length adjustment within your selected size range.
For example, a 220-230 cm Versa-Lok paddle can be adjusted between 220 and 230 centimeters.
The system also provides infinite feathering-angle adjustment, allowing you to dial in the orientation of your blades.
Designed with nylon and stainless steel components, the Versa-Lok ferrule offers a secure connection and corrosion-resistant construction.
If you paddle more than one kayak, the Versa-Lok may be a smart choice. Its adjustable length allows one paddle to accommodate different setups, provided both fall within your chosen adjustment range.
Find Your Fit
The Tetra Versa-Lok is designed for paddlers who appreciate high-performance equipment but want the ability to make adjustments as their adventures change.
Consider this paddle if you:
If you already know your ideal paddle length and don't need length adjustment, the Tetra Posi-Lok straight shaft is another option worth considering.
Choose Your Paddle Length
The Tetra Versa-Lok is available in six adjustable length ranges. Each range provides 10 cm of adjustment.
| Size Option | Adjustment Range |
|---|---|
| 200-210 cm | 200 to 210 cm |
| 210-220 cm | 210 to 220 cm |
| 220-230 cm | 220 to 230 cm |
| 230-240 cm | 230 to 240 cm |
| 240-250 cm | 240 to 250 cm |
| 250-260 cm | 250 to 260 cm |
Your ideal paddle length depends on your kayak width, seating position, height, and paddling style. Sunjammers can help you understand your options so you can choose the right adjustment range before ordering.
