Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

About this paddle
The new rebel of whitewater is here. The Aqua Bound Aerial Major Fiberglass Straight Shaft delivers beefed-up blades and daring durability for the most hardcore runs and conditions — backed by Lam-Lok™ technology (US Patent Pending) to keep you performing at maximum power for the long haul.
Lam-Lok™ Technology (US Patent Pending)
- Mechanically bonds laminated blade layers together with over 33 feet of aramid thread around the most vulnerable blade areas
- Dramatically extends paddle life by resisting delamination, impact, and abrasion
- 5–10x more effective at fighting delamination than blades without it
Blade
- Aerial Major blade size — best suited for larger-statured paddlers, those in excellent paddling shape, or anyone requiring extra surface area for aggressive, responsive maneuvers
- Wide, flattened foam spine simulates the performance qualities of both a foil blade and a compression-molded blade
- Reinforced 100% carbon blade peg insert maximizes blade-to-shaft joint strength while matching the stiffness/flex balance of the full paddle
- Smooth blade-to-shaft transition — no sharp edges to scrape hands or add friction in the water
Shaft
- 100% carbon construction with a stiffness/flex balance between traditional carbon and fiberglass to ease shoulder strain
- High-tech spread tow carbon weave increases strength, stiffness, and impact resistance while reducing weight
- Ergonomic grip shape matches the natural form of a closed hand
- Extra-long grip sections allow flexible hand placement to accommodate a wide range of shoulder widths and paddler preferences
- Tactile grip coating for a secure hold without destroying calluses
- Designed for hand placement in line with blades
- Fixed length and offset angle
