Description

The Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon Paddle - Oval Shaft is the fixed-length Lima for paddlers who want the cleanest possible connection between hand, blade and board. It is built for speed, precision and efficient forward paddling, making it a strong choice for SUP racing, fast touring and fitness paddling where every stroke needs to feel direct and purposeful.

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.

Why choose the Lima Prepreg Carbon Paddle - Oval Shaft?

  • If you already know your ideal paddle length and want the lightest, cleanest setup, yes. A fixed-length paddle usually feels more direct than an adjustable one. If you still want to experiment with length,...
  • Within the Starboard paddle range, the Lima sits on the performance side of the line-up. Where a more all-round paddle can feel more forgiving, the Lima is sharper, cleaner and more exact. If you like a...

Who should choose this paddle?

Lima Prepreg Carbon Paddle - Oval Shaft 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.

  • Features

    Twin rib blade shape: helps keep the blade strong and efficient without adding unnecessary bulk.

    Concave power face: helps guide the water cleanly over the blade so the catch feels more stable and less wobbly.

    10° blade angle: tuned for a fast, efficient catch and a strong forward drive.

    Narrow, flat profile: lets you keep the paddle closer to the rail for a straighter, more efficient stroke.

    Oval shaft shape: gives a more controlled, natural grip for paddlers who want precision and repeatability.

    Ergonomic handle: designed to give solid leverage and confident steering when you are putting power down.

    Paddle sock included: useful for protecting the paddle from scratches, dust and UV when stored or transported.
