Brand: Aqua Bound | Product: Torq

A high-performance whitewater paddle that pairs strong, dependable power with the durability to take real-world abuse.

Built for paddlers who chase fast water, the Aqua Bound Torq pairs a reinforced carbon shaft with a high-angle fiberglass blade to deliver powerful, confident strokes in dynamic whitewater.

Torq is designed first and foremost as a serious whitewater paddle. Its light swing weight, strong catch, controlled blade feel, and reinforced construction give paddlers the power and control they need for river running, creeking, playboating, braces, rolls, and technical maneuvers. Available in 1-, 2-and 4-piece models.

BUILT FOR REAL WHITEWATER

LIGHT, HIGH-ANGLE POWER  A powerful 700 sq. cm high-angle blade delivers a strong, dependable stroke even in the most dynamic environments, while the 100% carbon shaft keeps swing weight low and response quick. Overall weight of a 1 piece is 964 g

LAM-LOK™ DURABILITY  Patent-pending Lam-Lok™ technology mechanically locks together the fiberglass layers along the blade edge, helping fight delamination, impacts, and blade shrinkage where whitewater paddles take the most abuse.

CARBON BLADE PEG INSERT  A 100% carbon blade peg insert adds strength while maintaining a smooth transition from shaft to blade.

VERSA-LOKâ„¢ ADJUSTABILITY  Adjustable models use Aqua Bound’s Versa-Lokâ„¢ ferrule system, providing infinite feather angle adjustment and 5 cm of length adjustment so paddlers can tune their setup to changing conditions and personal preference.

PACKRAFT-READY 4-PIECE CONSTRUCTION  The 4-piece Torq was designed specifically with packrafting in mind, giving paddlers true whitewater performance in a compact configuration built for travel and remote access.

HAND-MADE FIBERGLASS BLADES  Hand-made fiberglass blades combine durable construction with striking graphics and the controlled flex needed for powerful whitewater paddling.

BUILT FOR WHITEWATER. READY FOR MORE.

Torq’s performance begins in whitewater, but it does not end there. Longer lengths make Torq equally capable for surf paddling and rock hopping along the coast, while the 4-piece configuration gives packrafters a high-performance option that can travel deep into remote terrain.

Torq is built to take on hard whitewater first – and just happens to be capable of a whole lot more.

Handcrafted in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, by paddlers and for paddlers.
