Aqua Bound Tetra and updates to the Whiskey and Tango!
The Aqua Bound Tetra is a foam core touring paddle, we cant wait to get our hands on soon! With Lam-Lok technology and a host of other high end materials and design features that promise great performance and some eye catching graphics as well!
ETA : TBC
Aqua Bound have also upgraded the super popular Whiskey and Tango paddles which are will now be available with Lam-Lok Technology and Versa-Lok ferrule system. Lam-Lok technology increases the durability of the lightweight compression moulded blades that make the Tango and Whiskey so popular, by binding the laminated blades together with aramid thread. This protects the blade from delamination, impacts and abrasion
The Versa-Lok adjustable Ferrule system enables you to add up to 15cm quickly and easily to your paddles length and is great if:
• You utilize multiple paddling techniques in different conditions
• You use different boats that have different widths.
• Others will share your paddle, and you're not all the same height.
Look out for the eye-catching Geo Punch Lamlok blades which should arrive with us in time for Christmas!
