Offering high-angle horsepower for superior control when running heavily loaded boats, the Manta Ray Hybrid ensures flutter-free efficiency and features a premium adjustable-length ferrule.

The blade has been completely reengineered for added strength and performance: its refined shape delivers a smoother forward stroke with minimal flutter, a noticeably stiffer feel, and a whisper-quiet entry and exit. Crafted from a thicker, fiberglass-reinforced nylon composite, the upgraded blade material offers reduced flex and enhanced durability, ensuring it holds up over time. Despite its robustness, the fiberglass-reinforced nylon still provides just the right amount of forgiveness, allowing the kayak to glide efficiently even when carrying extra gear.
At 102.5 square inches, the blade strikes the perfect balance between quick maneuverability and powerful propulsion. Its pronounced dihedral channels water cleanly, producing a silky-smooth forward stroke with zero flutterso you conserve energy on longer outings. The traditional oversized design further boosts horsepower and control, making it ideal for high-angle paddling styles in flatwater kayaking, packrafting, racing, or kayak fishing.
The shaft is 100% carbon, the lightest material available, which translates to less fatigue and a more enjoyable experience on extended trips. A tight, secure carbon weave ensures exceptional strength, while an ovalized profile where your hands grip offers superior comfort and controlminimizing hotspots and blisters.
Versa-Lok technology adds another 15 cm of adjustability plus infinite feather-angle options, all through an intuitive, corrosion-resistant clamping system built from nylon plastics and stainless steel. Tested structurally and cyclically and proven on the water for over a decade, Versa-Lok stays rock solid without slipping.
A carbon ferrule insert replaces plastic or glass equivalents, keeping the connection light, tight, and built to last.
