Starboard Flux Prepreg Carbon Pro F40 - Fixed Length Paddle

The Starboard Flux Prepreg Carbon Pro Fixed Length paddle represents Starboard’s flagship ultra-light, peak-performance construction for high-cadence SUP race and wave-riding athletes. Combining a full Prepreg 3K Carbon blade with the top-of-the-line Carbon Pro shaft in a 1-piece uncut fixed configuration, this setup yields Starboard's lightest overall swing weight, maximum structural stiffness, and instant spring response with zero clamp play.

Featuring Starboard's foil-inspired winglet blade profile and double concave stabilization, this paddle is available across four specialized Carbon Pro shaft profiles (F30, F40 27.5mm, F40 26mm, and F35 Skinny Oval) to precisely match your body weight, hand size, and biomechanical flex requirements.

Key Performance Features

• Ultra-Light Prepreg 3K Carbon Blade: Manufactured using pre-impregnated 3K carbon fibers with precise resin control, delivering maximum impact resistance, high stiffness, and lightweight construction.

• Carbon Pro Shaft Construction: Features a multi-layer prepreg carbon layup with a specialized Rhombus outer grip texture, providing a tactile, slip-free grip in wet conditions without requiring heavy grip tape.

• Foil-Inspired Side Winglets: Integrates aerodynamic side winglets that control water release and eliminate blade flutter, ensuring a clean, stable path through the power phase of every stroke.

• Stabilizing Double Concave Blade: A central double concave locks the blade into the water instantly on entry, eliminating rotational twisting and maximizing forward propulsion.

• Ultra-Lightweight 30g Carbon Pro Handle: Built around a high-density PVC core reinforced with Kevlar Carbon, drastically reducing top-end weight to optimize paddle swing weight and lower overall fatigue.

• Fixed 1-Piece Uncut Design: Offers the cleanest possible flex curve across the shaft and removes weight from adjustment collars for a direct connection to the water.

Shaft Profile & Flex Options

To tailor performance to specific rider body weights, paddling styles, and ergonomics, the Flux Prepreg Carbon Pro Fixed model is available with four specialized Carbon Pro shaft options:

• F40 (27.5mm Round / Stiff Flex):

  • Characteristics: Standard 27.5mm outer diameter with a stiff F40 flex profile.

  • Best For: Stronger, heavier paddlers, sprint racing, and SUP surfing where zero flex loss and explosive, instantaneous acceleration are required.

• F40 (26mm Round / Stiff Flex):

  • Characteristics: Reduced 26mm outer diameter combined with a stiff F40 flex profile.

  • Best For: Riders with smaller hands or paddlers who prefer a thinner grip while still demanding the rigid power transfer of an F40 flex.

• F30 (27.5mm Round / Ultra-Stiff Flex):

  • Characteristics: Starboard's stiffest shaft profile in a standard 27.5mm round diameter.

  • Best For: Heavyweight power paddlers, professional sprint racers, and riders over 85 kg seeking absolute maximum kinetic energy transfer with zero shaft yield.

• F35 Skinny Oval (Medium Flex):

  • Characteristics: Ergonomic ovalized shaft profile combining a thinner cross-section with an F35 medium flex curve.

  • Best For: Long-distance endurance racers and wave riders who want directional hand feedback, natural palm comfort, and a forgiving, shoulder-saving flex curve.
