Aqua bound Versa-Lok Clamp

New for 2023 from Aqua Bound is the Versa-Lok range of kayak paddles with the adjustable ferrule system, which promotes versatility and adjustability. Whether you are a recreational flatwater paddler, an experienced touring kayaker or an enthusiastic packrafter, the durable and easy-to-use ferrule will cater for many disciplines and paddling styles. The Versa-Lok range includes the Mantaray Hybrid, Mantaray Carbon, Stingray Hybrid and Stingray Carbon.

In terms of usability the design features a simple to use clamp with a locking lever to secure both ends of the paddle, this clamp is a very solid design that has a secure, tight connection with no movement or slip at all when in the locked position. To compare with the Posi-Lok paddles, the Versa-Lok models are slightly heavier in hand, but the difference wouldn’t be noticeable when on the water and are of such high build quality that you soon forget that the Versa-Lok paddles are 2-piece!
