Description

The Starboard Flux Carbon F40 (Fixed Length) paddle delivers maximum structural stiffness, razor-sharp power transmission, and ultralight swing weight for riders seeking top-tier efficiency. Engineered in a 1-piece uncut fixed layout, this setup eliminates the extra weight and slight play of adjustment clamps, establishing a seamless, direct connection from blade to grip.

Featuring an F40 stiffness shaft profile (stiffer than the F35), it provides immediate energy transfer on the catch—making it an ideal choice for powerful paddlers, sprint racing, and SUP surfers who demand instant acceleration to catch fast-moving waves.

Key Performance Features

  • Stiff F40 Shaft Profile: Engineered with a stiffer flex curve (F40) that minimizes shaft deflection during high-load strokes, transferring 100% of your energy directly into forward drive.

  • 1-Piece Uncut Fixed Shaft Construction: Offers the lightest total weight and cleanest flex curve across the entire paddle length, optimizing swing weight for higher paddling cadences over extended sessions.

  • Foil-Inspired Winglets: Outfitted with specialized side winglets that streamline water release and suppress turbulence, ensuring a smooth, flutter-free stroke through the power phase.

  • Stabilizing Double Concave Blade: A central double concave locks the blade into the water upon entry, spreading power evenly to prevent twist and eliminate splash on entry and exit.

  • Seamless Inbuilt Blade Joint: Features Starboard's molded, seamless blade-to-shaft connection, reducing drag and creating an aerodynamic profile.

  • Spiral-Textured Anti-Slip Grip: The shaft midsection is built with a spiral-textured outer layer, providing a natural tactile grip without adding bulk or requiring tape.

  • Ergonomic Carbon Top Handle: Flat-top design with a wide base provides clear feedback on blade orientation, giving you total control during technical turns and wave maneuvers.
