The Manta Ray Hybrid kayak paddle with a Versa-Lok extendable shaft is an ideal choice for paddlers looking for extra control over their kayak combined with adjustable shaft length for seated, standing, and poling applications.
Versa-Lok offers 15 cm of extendable length and infinite feathering options, and does so with an easy to use and understand system that is secure (no disengagement), robust (will hold form for a very long time), and resistant to corrosion (nylon plastic and stainless steel parts).
The Manta Ray blade size is designed for more control and high-angle forward thrust, given its larger surface area and somewhat square shape, as compared to the Sting Ray. The blade is concave in two directions, providing a smoother forward stroke with no flutter, stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit. The upgraded fiberglass and nylon blade material is stronger (meaning less flex) and thicker, making it more durable and robust long-term for pushing off shore and heavy use.
