FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
Who is the Starboard Velocity 26 MM Blade 2026 suitable for?
The Velocity is designed for long distances and efficient, consistent paddling, making it ideal for paddlers who want to maintain higher speeds over longer periods. With its 26 mm shaft, it is aimed at lighter paddlers who prefer a narrower grip.
What makes the Velocity blade so efficient?
The thin blade profile ensures minimal water resistance when entering the water, while the winglets reduce turbulence at the blade tips. This creates a flutter-free, smooth paddle stroke.
What are the benefits of the double-concave design?
The double concavity gives the blade stability and tracking while distributing force evenly across the blade surface. This reduces splashing when entering and exiting the water and maintains consistent propulsion.
How does the 14-degree blade angle help with paddling?
The 14-degree angle extends the reach per stroke and enables a longer, more consistent paddle stroke. This conserves energy over many kilometers.
What does prepreg carbon mean for this paddle?
Prepreg carbon is a lightweight, stiff, and responsive material that transfers force directly to the water. The color of the blade is prepreg carbon.
In what sizes is the Velocity 26 MM Blade available?
The model is available in sizes S to L. Which blade size is ideal for which paddler depends on weight, technique, and intended use.
Is the paddle suitable for longer tours and distance races?
Yes, the Velocity is specifically designed for long-distance paddling and racing. The efficient blade shape makes it easier to maintain high speeds over longer periods.
How do I properly care for my Velocity paddle?
Rinse the paddle with fresh water after use and store it dry and away from direct sunlight. This will keep the blade and shaft in good condition for longer.
