Aqua-Bound, a brand long associated with lightweight, performance-driven kayak paddles, is proud to introduce the "Posi-Lok" ferrule system.

Built 100 percent from market research and consumer-driven feedback, the Posi-Lok ferrule has a sleek design and intuitive functionality. The Posi-Lok ferrule is designed to be straightforward and simple, and the features enforcing that promise include:

• Strength/Durability. Made of fiberglass composite, the Posi-Lok ferrule is 42 percent stronger than plastic ferrules. The resilience of this ferrule is strong enough that you'll never worry about putting your weight on the paddle again.
• Tight Fit. No wear, wiggle, or movement.
• The Click. The Posi-Lok ferrule clicks firmly and unmistakably into place, reassuring the paddler it's ready for use.
• No Metal Parts. Metal parts corrode when exposed to salt water. With no metal parts, the Posi-Lok ferrule is friendly to all of the world's waters.
• The Feel. Once you get a paddle with this ferrule in your hands, the overall feel is amazing...durable, tight, seamless design... so you and the paddle are one.
• Multiple Feathering Positions. 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 degree right and left hand control, so you can tailor the paddle to any paddlers' needs.
• Smooth and Easy Adjustability. Easy to adjust the feather angle on the fly. External ferrule. No hard-to-reach sand or debris collecting inside your paddle shaft, meaning less maintenance.
• Dual-Button Release. Locks the ferrule securely: hitting one of the buttons on your kayak won't disengage the Posi-Lok ferrule.

Ed Vater, President of Aqua-Bound paddles said, "Given the thoroughness of the design process, amount of consumer feedback, and rugged field testing, we're not surprised by the high rate of acceptance of our new ferrule. It makes us very proud to build a strong, reliable and intuitive product that our customers will enjoy for many years to come."
