Description

Prepreg Carbon Blade - top of the line super light, strong and responsive blade technology by using full cover pre-impregnated top of the line 3K and Uni-directional Carbon Fibres. Full 3K Prepreg Carbon infusion rail all the way up to the neck for increased durability and impact resistance.

With paddles, the difference between 'fine' and 'really right' is often bigger than people expect - weight, stiffness, blade shape and packability all change how a session feels.

Where it sits in the range

The Lima sits on the faster, more direct side of the Starboard paddle range. It suits paddlers who want a clean catch, efficient stroke and a more performance-oriented feel. If you want a more relaxed all-round blade, Enduro is often the safer bet. If you want straightforward durability and value, Tufskin makes more sense.

Who should choose this paddle?

Lima Prepreg Carbon S40 Paddle - 2023 is best for paddlers whose priorities match its blade shape, shaft format and construction. If you are torn between Tufskin, Enduro, Lima or Velocity, we are very happy to talk through the trade-offs rather than leave you guessing.

Should I choose 3-piece, 2-piece or fixed length?

A 3-piece is the easiest for travel, storage and sharing. A 2-piece is the natural step up for regular paddlers who want a stiffer, quicker-feeling setup. Fixed length is the lightest and most direct option once you know your ideal size.

Can I compare paddles before buying?

Yes. At our Woodmill SUP Test Centre you can compare different paddles on the water, which is often the quickest way to feel what changes in blade shape, shaft stiffness and weight actually do.
