Description

The Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon Paddle - Round Shaft Fixed Length is a premium performance paddle for paddlers who already know they want a fixed-length setup and want the cleanest, lightest and most direct feel possible on the water. If your paddling is all about speed, precision, fast catch and a crisp release, this is one of the standout options in the Starboard range.

The Lima has long been the paddle shape many experienced paddlers look to when they want a more positive, powerful catch than an all-round blade. In plain terms, it feels quick into the water, stable through the power phase and tidy on the exit, which helps you keep cadence high without the stroke feeling messy or vague.

Where It Sits in the Range

This is the Lima for paddlers who want a classic round shaft feel in a fixed-length build. Choose it if you already know your preferred paddle length and want the most direct connection between you and the blade.

If you want the same high-performance Lima blade in a shaft with a more indexed hand feel, have a look at the Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon Paddle - Oval. If you need some adjustability for sharing, travel or fine-tuning your length, the Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon 2 Piece Paddle is the better fit.

Why Choose This Paddle

  • Fixed-length construction gives the cleanest, most connected paddle feel
  • Lima blade shape delivers a direct catch and efficient release
  • Prepreg carbon construction keeps weight low without losing crisp response
  • Round shaft offers a familiar, versatile hand feel
  • Excellent choice for fitness paddling, touring pace, training and racing
  • Available in M, L and XL blade sizes to better match paddler strength and stroke style
  • Includes a protective paddle sock for storage and transport

Choosing the Right Size

M is the smaller, quicker-cadence option and suits paddlers who prefer a lighter load per stroke.

L is the safe all-round performance choice for many experienced paddlers who want a strong catch without going too big.

XL gives the biggest catch and the most load per stroke, making it the choice for stronger paddlers who want maximum purchase.

Helpful Reading & Buying Advice

FAQs

Who is the Starboard Lima Prepreg Carbon Round Shaft Fixed Length for?

It is best for paddlers who already know they want a fixed-length paddle and are looking for a fast, efficient, performance-led blade. It makes most sense for experienced recreational paddlers, fitness paddlers, tourers who like a lively stroke, and racers who want a more aggressive catch than a general all-round paddle.

Why choose the fixed-length version instead of the 2-piece?

If you know your ideal paddle length, fixed length is the cleanest option. There is no adjustment system, so the paddle feels more direct and precise in the hands. If you still want room to experiment with length or need a paddle that is easier to transport, the 2-piece version is the better call.

Should I choose the round shaft or the oval shaft?

Choose the round shaft if you prefer a classic, familiar feel in the hands. Choose the oval version if you prefer a more indexed grip shape and know that style suits your hand placement.

Which blade size should I go for: M, L or XL?

M is the quickest and easiest to turn over, L is the best middle-ground for many performance paddlers, and XL is the biggest, most powerful option for stronger paddlers wanting maximum purchase. If you are between sizes, L is usually the safest place to start.

How do I choose the right paddle length for a fixed paddle?

The right answer depends on how you paddle, not just your height. Touring and distance paddlers often prefer slightly more length, while more technical or surf-style paddling usually points shorter. Our SUP Paddle Buying Guide is the best place to start, and if you want tailored advice we are happy to help.

Specifications

  • Features

    Twin ribs shape: these ribs add strength to the blade and help it move cleanly through the water. The result is a blade that feels efficient and composed, especially when you are paddling hard.

    Concave power face: the concave helps guide water across the blade in a more controlled way. On the water, that means less flutter and a straighter, cleaner feeling stroke.

    10° blade angle: this helps the Lima load up early in the stroke, so you get a positive catch and strong forward drive without feeling like the paddle is dragging behind you.

    Narrow, flat profile: the Lima can be paddled close to the rail, which helps keep your stroke neat and efficient. That is particularly useful for paddlers chasing better tracking and speed.

    UD and 3K carbon construction: this gives the blade its light, lively feel while keeping the structure stiff and strong enough for repeated hard efforts.

    Refined carbon shaft: the shaft is designed to balance weight, strength and grip, with an anti-slip texture that feels secure when wet.

    Ergonomic handle: the handle shape gives a solid, confident grip for powerful forward strokes, quick changes of side and better control when you are really pushing on.
