Description

The Starboard Lima Tufskin 2 Piece Paddle - V5 is a smart choice for paddlers who want a dependable, well-shaped paddle without jumping straight into premium carbon pricing. It is built for recreational paddling, family use, shared setups and centres that need something durable, easy to live with and noticeably better than a basic entry-level paddle.

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

In Starboard's paddle range, Tufskin models are the practical, value-led choices. They suit new paddlers, families, shared setups and centres where durability matters as much as outright light weight. If you paddle more often and want a livelier feel, a carbon Lima, Enduro or Velocity is the next step up.

Who should choose this paddle?

Lima Tufskin 2 Piece Paddle - V5 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.

Specifications

  • Features

    Lima blade shape with concave: this is the part you feel every stroke. The blade shape helps the paddle settle cleanly in the water, reducing wobble and making it easier to pull straight, especially for newer paddlers who are still building technique.

    Large tip area: this helps the paddle keep driving even if the whole blade is not perfectly buried. That is useful for casual paddlers, choppy water, and anyone whose stroke is still developing.

    Tufskin ABS blade construction: this is where the paddle earns its keep. It is designed to take knocks better than lighter, more delicate performance blades, which makes it a strong match for schools, families and everyday use.

    Carbon F35 shaft: the shaft gives a balanced feel rather than an ultra-stiff, highly tuned race response. For most recreational paddlers that is a good thing, as it keeps the paddle comfortable and forgiving while still feeling crisp enough on the water.

    2-piece adjustable shaft: a very practical setup if more than one person may use the paddle, or if you want to adjust length depending on whether you are paddling a wider all-round board or a narrower touring shape.

    Anti-twist inner grooving: this keeps the handle and blade aligned properly, so once you have set your preferred length, the paddle is more consistent and less fiddly to use.
