Description

The Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon 1pc is the race paddle for anyone who wants to really push themselves on the SUP. The Lima has set the standard in high-performance paddling for years: direct catch, clean line along the board, automatic self-alignment in the water. This paddle is the choice of the world champions in the Starboard Dream Team – and therefore exactly the right combination for technical racing, sprints and downwind.

Why this product is right for you

Direct catch and controlled power transfer thanks to the concave on the power face
Twin-Ribs blade shape for blade stiffness, less core volume and faster water flow
10-degree blade angle for an efficient power-phase catch
Narrow, flat blade shape – you pull the blade very close to the board rail for a clean line
Ergonomic handle with a flat top and wide grip for powerful leverage and control in crosswinds
1-piece prepreg carbon shaft with anti-slip texture – stiff, light and secure in the hand

Suitable for

Race and sprint paddlers who want maximum efficiency on every course
Advanced to professional paddlers looking for a stiff, direct paddle
Technical racing and beach races
Downwind and distance sessions in challenging conditions
Paddlers who prefer a fixed length without an adjustment mechanism

FAQ

What SUP discipline is the Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon designed for?

The Lima is specially designed for technical racing, sprint racing, and downwind conditions. Its direct catch and concave blade surface transfer your power to the water very efficiently.

Which size do I need?

The Lima is available in S, M, L, XL, and XXL. As a guide: lighter riders usually choose M, while heavier riders choose L or XL. The rider recommendations in the product description provide more specific guidance.

What does the shaft specification such as 29mm Pro F35 or F30 mean?

The number in millimeters indicates the diameter, while F30 to F45 indicates the flex. F30 is stiffer, and F45 is softer. The Lima is available in several combinations, including 26/27.5/29mm and Skinny Oval.

Is the paddle one-piece or adjustable?

This version is a 1-piece (1pc) fixed-length paddle. This makes it particularly stiff and direct. Adjustable versions are available separately.

What material is the Lima Prepreg Carbon made of?

The blade is made of UD and 3K carbon using a prepreg construction, and the shaft is also made of carbon. This construction ensures a stiff, lightweight, and very direct paddling experience.

What blade angle does the Lima have?

The Lima has a 10° blade angle at the blade neck. This allows for an efficient power phase and a clean exit at the end of the stroke.

How do I properly care for the paddle?

After every session, rinse it with fresh water, dry it, and store it dry. This will keep the shaft and blade in good condition for longer.

Can I also use the Lima for longer distances?

Yes. Many riders from the Starboard Dream Team also use the Lima for distance – its efficiency in the water and direct power transfer help over longer distances.
