ABOUT LAM-LOK™ US Patent Pending

Double down on edge protection with innovative Lam-Lok™ US Patent Pending technology
Lam-Lok™ mechanically bonds the laminated blade layers together with over 33 feet of an aramid thread around the most vulnerable parts of the blades, dramatically extending the life of your paddle
Protects blade edges by resisting delamination, impact and abrasion
Lam-Lok™ is 5-10x more effective at fighting delamination than blades without it

ABOUT THE BLADES

Aerial Major blade size best suited for paddlers who are larger-statured, in excellent paddling shape or require extra surface area to enact extremely responsive, aggressive maneuvers
Wide, flattened foam spine simulates 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 entire paddle. Benefit from built-in durability
Smooth transition from blade to shaft. No sharp edges to scrape hands or extra material to add friction in the water

ABOUT THE SHAFT

Crank shaft designed for maximum efficiency, control and comfort (with bends in all the right places)
100% carbon construction optimized for a stiffness/flex balance between that of traditional carbon and fiberglass shafts to ease strain on shoulders
High-tech, spread tow carbon weave increases the mechanical properties of the material (strength, stiffness, impact resistance) while reducing weight
Ergonomic grip shape designed to match the natural shape of a closed hand
Extra-long grip sections allow flexibility for hand placement to fit a greater number of shoulder widths and paddler preferences
Tactile grip coating applied to shaft to help get a better hold–and it won’t destroy paddler calluses, to boot
Designed for hand placement in line with blades
Four-piece breakdown with Versa-Lok™ ferrule at center connection and stainless steel snap-buttons at blades
