Purpose Exterior Raft Width Range Paddle Length Notes
Whitewater 36-38 inches 195-205 cm Length will depend on paddler and boat size. The wider the raft, the longer the paddle should be.
All Purpose 36-38 inches 200-210 cm We recommend a 200 cm for whitewater, 205 cm for all purpose paddling, and 210 cm for flatwater touring.
Bike Rafting 38 inches 200-210 cm Same paddle sizing guide as 'All Purpose."
Tandem 41-42 inches 220 cm or 240 cm Consider the Shred Apart that breaks down into two canoe paddles. 220cm for the low-seat position. 240cm for the high seat position and when broken down into canoe paddles.

Experience comfortable control and unmatched durability with Lam-Lok™ US Patent Pending technology to keep your Aerial Major Carbon performing at maximum power—for the long-haul. Quickly adapt to paddling conditions with 5 cm of adjustable length and infinite offset angles.

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

  • 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
  • Two-piece breakdown with Versa-Lok™ ferrule

ABOUT THE VERSA-LOK™ FERRULE

  • Versa-Lok™ allows 5 cm of adjustable length and infinite offset angles. Adjust on the fly to confidently navigate tight passages or run long stretches with your ideal paddle fit
  • Beefed up Versa-Lok™ to meet the rigors of whitewater paddling. Custom blended nylon ferrule material with very high fiberglass content for strength
  • Secure, tight locked connection that grips onto the 100% carbon ferrule insert
  • Ferrule insert extends extra far into the shaft, matching the stiffness/flex balance of the entire paddle
  • Engineered to feel like paddling a one-piece with the versatility of a two-piece
  • Blade Material: Carbon Fiber with Aramid Thread
  • Shaft Material: Carbon Fiber
  • Blade Size: 45.5 cm x 19.2 cm (700 sq. cm)
  • Weight: 2pc: 40 oz. (1135 g)
  • Offset Angles: Infinite
