HYBRID CARBON SHAFT
Strong and economical; a great combination when paired with Starboard's Enduro Tikitech or Tufskin blades.
We paddle a lot and found it fun to develop paddle shafts suiting the individual needs for our various-sized friends and team riders; to maximize their particular performance demands.
A flexible shaft transfers energy in a more gentle way suitable for long-distance paddling and higher cadence. A stiffer shaft provides a more direct transfer of energy and suits larger blades and taller riders wanting to use full-length shafts. When you cut a paddle shaft down to fit your size, it automatically becomes stiffer, thus you may wish to choose a 45 mm shaft.
- The stiffness is measured by applying 30kg in the center of the shaft, supported at a distance of 140cm to measure the deflection in mm.
- If the shaft bends, it shows a higher deflection resulting in more flex, compared to a stiffer shaft with low deflection.
- The 35mm has the lowest flex, the 45mm has the highest flex.
