Aqua bound - Whiskey 4 piece paddle

The Whiskey Fiberglass paddle offers high power and a smooth stroke, making long trips easier. Our 4-piece paddles are suitable for all skill levels, weighing around 750 grams. This paddle is enjoyable for a variety of paddlers and settings. The Aqua Bound Whiskey is particularly great for mixed touring. For packrafters aiming to lighten their load without losing performance, the Whiskey’s strength-to-weight ratio is excellent. On long days with flat water, its lighter swing weight also makes paddling less tiring.

Pack Raft Australia’s review and recommendations:

We appreciate the lightweight design of the Aqua Bound Whiskey 4-piece 205cm paddle, making it great for trips where keeping weight low is important, like bike packing or on foot. The premium fiberglass blades provide nice performance, control, and power transfer compared to most nylon or plastic blades. The Whiskey paddle is easy to pack and features durable carbon connections between the blades. Its adjustable Posi-Lok ferrule system is simple and allows for quick adjustments of blade angles (15-degree increments) to fit different paddler preferences and styles.

For paddlers pushing their packrafting limits with strong strokes, tough rapids, and challenging whitewater, the Aqua Bound Shred, Aerial, Werner Powerhouse or Sherpa 4-piece paddles may be better options. While these paddles are about ~400 grams heavier than the Whiskey, they are specifically designed for whitewater use, featuring sturdier carbon shafts and fiberglass blades to withstand more stress.

The Aqua Bound Whiskey 4-piece paddle is ideal for many paddlers seeking a lightweight and versatile paddle for their next packrafting adventure.
