WORLD CHAMPIONS CHOOSE LIMA

The most winning paddle

Starboard Dream Team riders race with production paddles, the same paddle as you. Here are their setups:
Connor Baxter 71kg chooses Lima XL for Tech & Sprint / Lima L for distance. S35
Michael Booth 78kg chooses Lima XL on the S35 shaft for all conditions
Esperanza Barrera 61kg chooses Lima M as her preferred setup
Fiona Wylde 64kg chooses Lima M with S45 shat for all conditions
Daniel Hasulyo 68-72kg chooses Lima XL with S30 for all conditions
Clément Colmas 68kg chooses Lima M S30
Caterina Stenta 54kg chooses Lima M

ALSO GREAT FOR TOURING & FLATWATER

The Lima paddle is also great for flat water and touring.

Bart De Zwart, SUP expedition legend chooses “I choose a Lima M S35 with a longer shaft than most other riders, this is because for longer races you stand up straighter and the stroke is longer with slower frequency.”

NEW LIMA CNC CORE TWIN RIBS SHAPE

Reduce 15% of core volume

The ribs create blade strength and ability to cut through the water faster

Available with all Lima Technologies

Shape

The concave on the power face is guiding the water throughout the blade controlling the wobbling and increasing the water flow speed.
The edge defining the concave starts round-shaped at the tip of the blade to separate the water smoothly. It then becomes sharper to dictate the water its path and stabilize the blade.
All your power is transferred in a straight forward motion as you don’t need to worry about paddle alignment in the water anymore.

SHAFT SHAPE

The vast majority of sold paddles have a round shaft with a diameter of 29 mm. Lighter and smaller paddlers sometimes also like smaller shafts that fit their hand better (27.5 or even 26mm). Starboard also manufactures oval shafts, but we can only supply them on demand.

TIKI SUPER SMOOTH CLAMP

- Excellent Tiki clip on all adjustable paddles.

- Newly designed!

- Excellent grip on the inner rod to prevent any movement.

- Reduced water ingress.

- With a special channel, it ensures that the rod does not have to be aligned, the folder is always set correctly.

EASY LOCK PIN

The detachable 3 part paddles are precision cut. The inner and outer bars fit snugly. The pin makes it feel like the rod is in one piece.

GROOVED INNER SHAFT

If you have experience with paddles, then you know that they like to turn over time. With a special channel on the inside, it is ensured that nothing will move and the paddle will always face the right direction.
