Aqua Bound Whiskey Fiberglass Kayak Paddle 2-Piece – The Ultimate High-Angle Performance Paddle

Master the Water with Lightweight Power

The Aqua Bound Whiskey Fiberglass 2-Piece Straight Shaft is engineered for the aggressive, high-angle paddler who demands immediate response and effortless power. Whether you are navigating tight coastal inlets, punching through surf, or simply enjoy a fast-paced fitness paddle on the lake, the Whiskey provides the surface area and stiffness needed to move your kayak with authority.

As a high-angle paddle, the Whiskey is designed for a more vertical stroke style. This allows for maximum efficiency and speed, making it the preferred choice for paddlers who want an athletic experience or those maneuvering wider, high-performance kayaks. By combining a 100% carbon shaft with multi-laminate fiberglass blades, Aqua Bound has achieved a remarkably low swing weight that rivals full-carbon paddles at a more accessible price point.

Precision Performance with Posi-Lok™ Technology

The Whiskey Fiberglass features the patented Posi-Lok™ ferrule system, a cornerstone of Aqua Bound’s elite paddle line. This system is designed to provide a completely secure, “one-piece” feel while offering the convenience of a 2-piece break-down for easy transport and storage.

• Infinite Customization: The Posi-Lok™ allows you to adjust the blade feathering in 15-degree increments.This precision lets you dial in the exact angle required to reduce wind resistance or match your specific wrist ergonomics.

• Corrosion-Proof Materials: The entire ferrule is constructed from high-strength composite materials. Unlike metal ferrules, it will never rust or corrode, ensuring smooth operation even after years of exposure to saltwater and sand.

• Rock-Solid Connection: The dual-button release creates a tight, wiggle-free bond. There is zero “play” in the shaft, providing instant tactile feedback from the water to your hands.

FULL SPECIFICATIONS & Item Details

Designed for Efficiency and Comfort

The Whiskey’s blades are compression-molded with a multi-laminate fiberglass process. This creates a blade that is incredibly thin and lightweight but remarkably stiff. This stiffness ensures that all your energy is transferred directly into forward motion rather than being lost to blade flex.

• Clean Entry and Exit: The dihedral spine on the blade face allows water to flow evenly off both sides, resulting in a flutter-free stroke even when you are digging deep for a sprint.

• Carbon Shaft Benefits: The T-700 carbon shaft provides a natural dampening effect, acting as a shock absorber for your joints. It also features a “warm-to-the-touch” feel, which is a major advantage during early morning starts or late-season paddling.

• Drip Rings: Every Whiskey paddle includes heavy-duty rubber drip rings to keep water from running down the shaft and into your cockpit, keeping you drier and more comfortable.

Finding Your Perfect Fit

Because the Whiskey is a high-angle paddle, the sizing logic differs slightly from low-angle touring paddles. A shorter paddle is often preferred to maintain the vertical stroke angle and high cadence this paddle was built for.

• For Narrow Performance Kayaks (< 23″): We recommend 200cm – 220cm.

• For Mid-Sized Kayaks (24″ – 27″): The 220cm – 230cm range is the most popular for average-height paddlers.

• For Taller Paddlers or Wider Boats: Consider the 240cm – 250cm option to ensure you clear the gunwales comfortably.
