Description

The Starboard Lima Carbon F35 2 Piece Paddle is a performance-focused adjustable paddle for paddlers who want a cleaner catch, quicker acceleration and a more precise feel through the stroke. If you mainly paddle for speed, fitness, efficient touring or flat-water performance, this is the Starboard paddle that sits on the fast, direct side of the range.

For many paddlers, this is the sweet spot between a fixed paddle and a full travel paddle. The 2-piece construction gives you easier transport and simple length adjustment, while still feeling cleaner and more solid on the water than a typical 3-piece setup. It is a very good option for regular paddlers who want proper carbon performance without stepping all the way up to the lighter and more expensive Prepreg version.

Where It Sits in the Range

Within the Starboard paddle line-up, the Lima is the choice for paddlers who prioritise efficiency and straight-line power. Compared with the Enduro, the Lima has a narrower, more race-inspired feel through the water. It rewards a tidier technique, gives a quick, positive catch and feels especially good for fast cruising, fitness paddling and longer strokes on flatter water.

If you want a more all-round blade for mixed ability use, surf, family paddling or a more forgiving feel, the Enduro is usually the better call. If you know you prefer a faster cadence, a neater entry and a blade that feels lively rather than heavy, the Lima is the one to choose.

Why Choose the Starboard Lima Carbon F35 2 Piece Paddle?

  • Cleaner, quicker catch for efficient flat-water paddling
  • Excellent choice for fitness paddlers, touring paddlers and speed-focused sessions
  • 2-piece adjustable design makes it easier to transport and fine-tune paddle length
  • F35 shaft flex gives a balanced feel without being overly harsh or overly soft
  • Carbon construction keeps swing weight down and makes longer sessions feel easier
  • A smart upgrade from alloy, nylon or glass paddles if you want your board to feel more responsive

FAQs

Is the Lima better than the Enduro?

Not better for everyone – just better for a different job. The Lima is the faster, cleaner-feeling blade for paddlers who care about efficiency, speed and a more precise stroke. The Enduro Carbon F35 2 Piece is usually the better choice if you want a more all-round paddle for mixed conditions, more casual paddling or a slightly more forgiving blade feel.

Why choose the 2-piece version instead of the 3-piece?

Choose the 2-piece if this is your regular paddle and you want the cleanest adjustable feel with easier storage and transport than a fixed paddle. Choose the 3-piece version if you need a smaller packed size for travel, vans or tighter storage spaces.

Is the F35 shaft flex right for most paddlers?

Yes – for many paddlers, F35 is the sensible middle ground. It has enough stiffness to feel quick and responsive, but enough flex to stay comfortable over longer sessions. It is a very good match for regular touring, fitness paddling and fast recreational use.

What size should I choose: M or L?

M is usually the safer choice for paddlers who want a quicker cadence and easier rhythm over distance. L makes more sense for larger or stronger paddlers, or for those who like a bigger catch and a little more load in the stroke. If you are unsure, our SUP Paddle Buying Guide is a good starting point, and we are always happy to sanity-check your choice against your height, board and paddling style.

Is this a good upgrade from a standard package paddle?

Yes – and it is one of the upgrades most paddlers notice straight away. A lighter carbon paddle with a cleaner blade shape makes your board feel more responsive, reduces fatigue and generally makes every paddle stroke feel more efficient. If you are paddling regularly and still using a heavier entry-level paddle, this is the sort of upgrade that genuinely changes the experience.

Specifications
  • Features

    Twin ribs shape: The blade ribs add stiffness and help the blade move through the water quickly. On the water, that means a more crisp, connected feel without the paddle feeling vague at the catch.

    Concave power face: This is one of the reasons the Lima feels so tidy. The concave helps guide the water through the blade, which reduces flutter and helps the paddle track more cleanly through each stroke.

    10° blade angle: The blade angle helps the paddle load up early in the stroke, so you get a positive catch without feeling like you have to overpower it.

    Narrow, flat profile: The Lima shape lets you keep the blade closer to the rail of the board. For paddlers chasing straight tracking and a clean paddle line, that translates into less wasted movement and a more efficient stroke.

    Carbon blade and carbon shaft: This construction keeps weight sensible while still giving you the crisp feel most regular paddlers are after. It is a meaningful step up from heavier entry-level paddles and one of the easiest upgrades to feel on the water.

    29mm round F35 shaft: F35 flex is the balanced option in the range. It gives you a controlled, comfortable amount of flex for longer sessions, while still feeling direct enough for quicker paddling and stronger efforts.

    Anti-twist inner with smooth clamp: On a 2-piece paddle, this matters. It helps keep alignment simple, reduces faff when adjusting length and gives the paddle a neater feel once locked in.

    Ergonomic carbon handle: The handle shape gives a secure, confident hold and makes the paddle feel well connected in your top hand during longer paddles or harder efforts.
