Starboard Velocity Prepreg Carbon Paddle - Oval - 2025

The Velocity paddle is engineered for ultra-efficient, smooth paddling.

It's versatile across various paddling disciplines—distance racers will appreciate its low-impact blade design, ocean paddlers will benefit from a smoother catch with less drag in choppy waters, and intermediate and recreational paddlers will enjoy the paddle's smooth, flutter-free performance.

Ideal for Long-Distance Paddling

The high-aspect blade ratio and low-impact design of the Velocity paddle make it perfect for long-duration paddling, helping maintain higher speeds with less effort.

Michael Booth used the Velocity paddle to win the 21 km race at the 2024 SUP Carolina Cup.

Smooth and Efficient Catch

The Velocity paddle is engineered for ultra-efficient, smooth strokes. Its thin blade profile minimizes water disturbance at the catch, while the innovative winglet design reduces turbulence around the wingtips. This results in a zero-flutter stroke, improving efficiency and reducing strain on your body.

The Starboard Velocity Prepreg Carbon Paddle Features:

• DOUBLE CONCAVE DESIGN: The double concave design gives the paddle stability, tracking and an even power spread across the blade surface. This allows you to have even power throughout your stroke while reducing splash on entry and exit.
• WINGLETS: The Winglet design is inspired by our findings in foiling. The winglets border the blade and create less turbulence. This helps the paddle to pull smoother through the water with less flutter.
• CLEANEST CATCH: The blade tip is thin and flat, resulting in the cleanest entry and exit in the water and less impact on your body.
• ANGLE OF ATTACK: The 14-degree angle gives you a longer reach on each stroke – allowing for a longer stroke and smoother paddling.
• CARBON PRO SHAFT: Prepreg carbon shaft, which is super light, strong and responsive shaft technology. The shaft features a new anti-slip unidirectional texture that is grippy when wet.
• ERGONOMIC HANDLE: The handle is designed to provide a powerful grip, making it ideal for any type of racing, whether long-distance or sprint. The flat top and wide grip create powerful leverage for the whole paddle and the blade. You can steer the paddle at slight angles and remain at full power. 26mm round shafts now feature a new M-size handle.
• PADDLE SOCK: Made of stretchable polyester, the sock replaces paper waste and protects your paddle from dust, scratches, and UV damage.
