Product catalog summary
Overview
Starboard offers a range of paddles designed with advanced technology for lightweight and efficient performance. These paddles feature high precision filament winding technology and come in various blade and shaft shapes and materials to meet different paddling needs.
Blade Technology
The blades are made with uni-directional carbon fiber reinforcements and a Divinicell PVC core, with optional ABS rails for added durability. Carbon BX blades are lightweight and strong, ideal for demanding paddlers. Tiki Tech blades provide a balance of flex and strength, while Tufskin blades are durable and suited for whitewater paddling.
Shaft Technology
Starboard offers Premium Carbon and Premium Polymer shaft technologies. Premium Carbon shafts are made from 100% carbon fiber, providing high strength and stiffness. Premium Polymer shafts are more economical, offering similar performance to carbon shafts.
Handle Technology
Paddles come with lightweight carbon or molded handles with enhanced grip textures. The handles allow for length adjustment using a hot glue system, offering flexibility without on-the-fly adjustments.
Adjustable Shafts
Adjustable shafts are available in two and three-piece configurations, using a secure spring pin system and Tiki Clamp for stability. These are ideal for schools and travelers, allowing easy length adjustments.
Blade and Shaft Shapes
Blades come in various sizes, with High Aspect and Enduro designs for different paddling styles. High Aspect blades are longer and narrower, suitable for racing, while Enduro blades offer a balanced design for stability and power.
Customization and Assembly
Starboard paddles can be customized with interchangeable blades and shafts. The hot glue system allows for easy assembly and disassembly, enabling custom paddle combinations.
Conclusion
Starboard's paddles are designed for performance and versatility, with options to suit various paddling styles and preferences. Advanced materials and technology ensure lightweight, durable, and efficient paddles for all levels of paddlers.
