Starboard SUP Paddle Lima Carbon XXL 29mm 3pcs S35
The Starboard Lima Carbon XXL 29mm 3pcs is a premium high-performance SUP paddle designed for paddlers who demand maximum blade efficiency, lightweight carbon construction, and a compact, travel-friendly format. Equipped with a powerful XXL blade, a 29 mm carbon shaft, and the reliable S35 flex, this paddle delivers exceptional drive and stability with every stroke. Whether you’re touring, racing, or exploring long distances, the Lima Carbon ensures a smooth, silent, and highly efficient paddling experience.
The 3-piece design allows the paddle to break down into a compact form for easy storage and travel — perfect for inflatable board users, travelers, and paddlers needing a versatile, performance-oriented paddle that fits into any SUP bag. Despite being multi-piece, the paddle maintains impressive stiffness and power thanks to its updated locking mechanisms and precision-engineered carbon components.
Key Features
XXL Lima Blade – more power per stroke
The XXL blade is engineered to maximize catch efficiency. Its thin, sharp profile grabs water instantly, providing a firm, controlled catch without flutter. The pronounced center ridge and scooped side profile optimize water flow, resulting in a clean pull and maximum forward propulsion with minimal wasted energy.
Lightweight full-carbon construction
The paddle is built using full carbon laminates, 3K woven layers, and precision-molded structures that ensure responsiveness and exceptional stiffness. Despite being 3-piece, it remains lightweight and extremely durable. The blade, shaft, and handle are all carbon-based for consistent flex and high performance.
S35 shaft – the perfect medium stiffness
S35 works well for riders who want a balance between comfort and responsiveness. It transfers power efficiently without feeling overly stiff, making it suitable for distance paddling and long training sessions.
29 mm round shaft
A classic, comfortable shaft diameter that suits most paddlers. The round profile provides smooth grip transitions and predictable flex patterns.
3-piece travel-ready system
Using Starboard’s secure locking mechanisms:
-
Tiki Super Clamp (upper adjustment)
-
Spring-pin connection (mid-shaft)
This allows the paddle to pack smaller while maintaining excellent stiffness for long sessions.
Smooth & silent entry
The Lima blade is famous for entering the water with almost zero splash, allowing very quiet paddling — beneficial for touring, training, and wildlife areas.
