LIGHTER IS BETTER A blade's weight is the most important factor in the paddle's weight as the blade is further away from the body, thus requires the most energy to move. A lighter blade translates to less energy consumption per stroke and a longer more enjoyable session or better race result. We have reduced the Carbon blades weight by 35% since last year by developing lighter carbon laminates and you will feel the difference immediately when paddling. Our complete adult carbon paddles start at only 408g /14.4 oz! innas/anon auauTU

LIGHTER IS BETTER Starboard has undertaken the most extensive R&D program focusing on minimizing weight and optimizing blade flex. Each blade has been tuned to have different flex characteristics by utilizing uni-direction and biaxial cloths in their construction. Starboard offers four constructions to fit your power requirements, comfort needs and budget. Eager to push the limits in innovation, Starboard's R&D Team is proud to introduce what are probably the lightest paddle blades on the market. The blades feature a lightweight PVC core and full ABS rail with a biaxial carbon layup which...

BLADE OVERVIEW The blade’s size can be compared to the gears of a bike: the higher the gear or the smaller the blade, the less effort each stroke consumes with less forward motion generated. The lower the gear or the bigger the blade, the more energy will be expended and the more forward motion generated. Smaller blade sizes are recommended for long paddle sessions, lighter people, or those with a high cadence stroke. Larger blade sizes provide immediate power, with only a few strokes enabling fast and late drops into waves. A large blade also gives more area to "lean on” while wave...

SHAFT TECHNOLOGY Starboard offers three constructions to fit your power requirements, comfort needs and budget. FOIL CARBON LENGTH 170 cm / 67 inches WEIGHT* 247 grams / 8.70 ounces FOIL CARBON shaft features a light-weight carbon-fiber filament wound construction with an oval cross-section. The extra-wide oval shape allows for a thinner wall thickness thus a great stiffness-to-weight ratio. It feels light in the hand and does not have a sharp angle as with many other oval shafts. The oval shaft aligns precisely when switching from side to side and when paddling with both hands on the shaft...

HIGH ASPECT A longer, narrower blade with a flatter profile which combines power with a forgiving feel perfect for racing; the choice of champions. The High Aspect is a very efficient deeper, narrower blade designed for the most demanding racers. Its high aspect ratio shape offers more torque for a similar size blade, resulting in better thrust and higher speed over distance. The blade feels like it provides more power for less effort. Biaxial Carbon provides greater flex. Blade Length: Blade Width: Area: Total Length: Total Weight: Blade Length:...

ENDURO ADJUSTABLE Our adjustable paddle features a pre-preg carbon/glass hybrid blade and shaft. This light-weight paddle is adjustable from 175 cm to 235 cm. The blade is also pre-preg carbon/glass hybrid and based on the popular Enduro 525 shape. The easy-to-use secure lever-lock adjusts the paddle to your desired length. An impact resistant rail band around the edge of the blade protects paddle and board. This is the perfect paddle for clubs, rentals, and schools because one paddle can be used for all and everyone can have a paddle at the correct length. The Enduro Adjustable also comes...

Total Length: 26.80 ounces 761 grams ENDURO TUFSKIN The Fiber-Tufskin paddle features a nicely-foiled strong ABS blade based on the Enduro 525. The Fiber-Tufskin blade comes standard with the Glass Rebound shaft making it an exceptionally good value. A kids' version with a smaller diameter shorter shaft, smaller handle and a smaller 400cm2 (62in2) blade size is also available. The Enduro Fiber-Tufskin is also perfect for Whitewater paddling due to its extreme strength and durability. The Enduro Fiber-Tufskin paddle is also available in adjustable and three-piece versions, best suited for...
