Aqua Bound Whiskey Carbon 2-Piece Posi-Lok™ Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle
Designed for paddlers seeking premium performance with minimal weight, the Aqua Bound Whiskey Carbon is an ultra-light, two-piece carbon kayak paddle developed for high-angle paddling. Its generous 613cm² blade area delivers the positive catch and responsive power needed for efficient touring, sea kayaking and more dynamic paddling.
At just 652g, the Whiskey Carbon helps reduce swing weight through repeated strokes, making it a compelling choice for paddlers covering longer distances or looking for a lightweight, precise paddle. The T-700 carbon shaft and spread-tow carbon blades create a stiff, responsive construction designed to transfer power efficiently through the stroke.
Lightweight spread-tow carbon blades
The Whiskey Carbon’s blades are made from spread-tow carbon reinforced with Aramid. Aqua Bound uses this high-tech weave to increase strength, stiffness and impact resistance while keeping overall weight low.
Each blade also incorporates a 100% carbon peg insert, adding strength while maintaining a smooth transition between the shaft and blade.
Lam-Lok™ blade-edge protection
Aqua Bound’s Lam-Lok™ technology reinforces and protects the blade edges, areas that are particularly vulnerable to wear and impact during regular paddling. This additional protection is designed to extend the working life of the paddle without compromising its lightweight performance.
Designed for high-angle paddling
The Whiskey’s relatively short, broad blade profile is intended for a high-angle stroke, where the paddle shaft is held more vertically and the blade passes closer to the kayak.
This makes it particularly well suited to paddlers looking for:
- A positive and responsive blade catch
- Efficient power through each stroke
- Greater control during faster or more dynamic paddling
- A lightweight paddle for touring and sea kayaking
- Reduced swing weight over long days on the water
Carbon Posi-Lok™ ferrule
The two-piece construction makes the paddle easier to transport, store or carry as a spare. Aqua Bound’s 100% carbon Posi-Lok™ ferrule creates a secure connection between the shaft sections and allows the feather angle to be adjusted in 15° increments to either the left or right.
Clearly marked settings make it easy to select a preferred feather angle and reproduce the same setup each time the paddle is assembled.
Who is the Aqua Bound Whiskey Carbon best for?
The Whiskey Carbon is designed for experienced and performance-focused kayakers who prefer a powerful high-angle stroke. Its combination of low weight, stiff carbon construction and a 613cm² blade area makes it especially suitable for touring, sea kayaking, fitness paddling and covering distance efficiently.
Paddlers who naturally use a relaxed, low-angle stroke may prefer a narrower blade profile, such as the Aqua Bound Tango.
