Description
Description
The Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon Paddle is the racing paddle of the world champions. If you are looking for maximum efficiency, a direct catch and clean water tracking in flat water, technical racing or sprinting, the Lima is hard to beat. It is the most successful SUP racing paddle in the world and is ridden by the Starboard Dream Team athletes exactly as you can buy it.
Why this product is right for you
- Direct catch and clean exit: The blade shape with Twin Ribs ensures a powerful, direct pull and a smooth exit from the water – maximum efficiency per paddle stroke.
- Concave Powerface: Guides the water controlled over the blade, reduces wobble and transfers your power into a straight, forward motion – no readjusting during the water phase.
- 10-degree blade angle: At the blade neck, it ensures an efficient power phase and a strong grip right at the catch.
- Narrow, flat profile: This allows the blade to be guided very close to the board rail – ideal for a clean, straight line in racing.
- Carbon Pro F35 shaft: The perfect balance of stiffness and low weight with a new anti-slip UD texture for a secure grip even when wet.
- Ergonomic handle: Flat top and wide grip for powerful leverage – you can easily angle the paddle and still stay fully in the drive.
- 2-piece adjustable: The two-piece version with anti-twist internal grooving and a smooth clamp is easy to adjust, store and transport.
