Starboard Lima LTD Balsa Carbon XL Paddle – Oval S35 (Fixed, One-Piece)
The Starboard Lima LTD Balsa Carbon XL Paddle is a premium one-piece SUP paddle built for paddlers who want maximum power transfer, ultra-low weight, and racing-grade efficiency. Designed with a natural balsa core and full carbon reinforcement, this fixed paddle eliminates the weight, flex inconsistency, and mechanical play found in adjustable systems — giving you a clean, solid, and highly responsive stroke.
Created for larger or stronger paddlers, the XL blade provides serious catch power and high propulsion on every stroke. The S35 oval shaft adds stiffness and ergonomic grip, making it ideal for distance touring, training, flatwater racing, or anyone who wants a paddle that feels fast, precise, and incredibly stable.
