{"product_id":"outrigger-stingray-db-carbon","title":"Quickblade Stingray Outrigger Double Bend Carbon Paddle","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe Stingray is a revolutionary new shape that will change the paddling world as we know it. The blade is only 10 inches long (25cm) which is half the length of most traditional blades, the reduced blade length reduces the catch and exit time by 50% as it takes half the time. The reduced blade length allows the center of area of the blade to be just 3.5\" from the tip of the blade giving it a more distinct snappy catch and release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis blade has a thin foiled shape that at 12 degree angle to the shaft is designed to have some \"winged\" effect as you drive it into the water making the blade literally want to go forward as you make the catch giving you extra length on the power phase of the stroke. What is unique about this thin foiled shape is that it performs a similar effect in reverse as the blade starts to exit from the water it wants to thrust forward slightly and efficiently all of the way to the exit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo maximize the \"winged\" foil effect of the blade, we developed a special unique all carbon DOUBLE BEND shaft that is tapered on both ends, providing minimal drag below the pulling hand and having a little more flex at the top hand by the handle, while having a slight oval shape where you hold it with the bottom hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe created a very comfortable hollow carbon palm grip that comes standard on the Stingray, or you can custom request our carbon T-handle if you prefer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe believe based on Initial testing of the Stingray that it is so efficient it has increased boat traveling speeds by 1-2%.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder the Stingray 2\" shorter from the chart length or your normal length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBlade length 10\" (25cm)\u003cbr\u003eBlade width 11.5\" (29cm)\u003cbr\u003eBlade angle 12 degree\u003cbr\u003eBlade size area 72 sq\/in (465 sq\/cm)\u003cbr\u003eOverall weight 12 ounces (340 g)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eShaft size 1.15 by 1.05 (Oval)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBlade length 10.5\" (26cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade width 11 3\/4\" (29.8cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade angle 12 degree\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade size area 79 sq\/in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall weight 12.5 ounces (454 g)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eShaft size 1.15 by 1.05 (Oval)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Quickblade","offers":[{"title":"72","offer_id":44980614496438,"sku":"105507","price":499.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"79","offer_id":44980614529206,"sku":"105506","price":499.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/9758\/9686\/files\/79_Stingray_AC_DB_Front___59038.jpg?v=1773871232","url":"https:\/\/gorgeperformance.com\/products\/outrigger-stingray-db-carbon","provider":"Gorge Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
