Carbon Lima Paddle 29mm Flex 35

Starboard Lima Carbon Paddle – 29mm Shaft (2pc / 3pc)

For flatwater and touring. The Lima is a high-performance SUP paddle designed for those seeking speed, precision, and responsiveness. The blade shape ensures a direct catch in the water and a clean exit, maximizing efficiency with every stroke. Chosen by world champion SUP paddlers, the Lima remains one of the most successful paddles, delivering top performance year after year.

Why choose the Lima Carbon

• Excellent for technical racing and sprints: The blade shape and angle offer exceptional power and grip.
• Twin Ribs Shape: The dual ribs increase blade rigidity and the ability to cut through water faster, reducing the blade core volume by 15%.
• Concave: The concave on the power face guides water flow along the blade, controlling oscillation and increasing flow speed. All power is transferred in a straight motion without worrying about blade alignment.
• 10° Blade Angle: The Lima features a 10° angle at the blade neck for a powerful and efficient catch phase.
• Narrow and Flat Profile: Allows you to pull the paddle very close to the board's rail, maintaining a clean line.
• Stiff and Durable Blade: The combination of UD and 3K carbon enhances strength and stiffness for longer-lasting and more responsive performance during intense sessions.

The refined new shaft

The new Carbon and Carbon Pro shafts have been refined for the perfect balance of weight and durability. Both feature a new anti-slip unidirectional texture for a secure grip even when wet. The Carbon shaft pairs with Carbon and Tiki Tech blades.

Ergonomic handle

The handle is designed to offer a powerful grip, ideal for all types of racing, whether long-distance or sprints. The flat top and wide grip create powerful leverage throughout the stroke. You can orient the blade at slight angles while maintaining full power.
