The 2011 Starboard Star Carbon Power Paddle is a new Stand Up Paddle (SUP) paddle.
For strong paddlers and low cadence paddlers wanting the maximum paddle power in each stroke. The Power paddle provides extreme acceleration with each stroke and is well suited for a quick take off in wave sections needing that extra forward motion. The short flat-water sprint is another strength of this extremely well-balanced blade that delivers a clean and sharp paddle sensation.
The angle of the paddle blade though the water and the blade's size dictate the power and efficiency of each stroke. All our blades are foiled to minimize drag and maximize power transfer throughout the stroke. A well balanced paddle blade squanders little energy.
The blade's size can be compared to the gears of a bike: the higher the gear or the smaller the blade, the less effort each stroke consumes with less forward motion generated. The lower the gear or the bigger the blade, the more energy will be used and the more forward motion will be activated. For long paddle sessions, lighter people, or those with a high cadence stoke, a smaller blade is recommended. Many people who entered SUP with a surfing background prefer the larger blade sizes that provide the immediate power produced by a few strokes for fast and late drops into waves. Starboard offers seven blade sizes in three constructions to fit your power requirements, comfort needs, and budget.
- Performance paddle for low cadence SUPer who demands power
- Light power paddle that can also be used in waves
- Comes complete with nylon handle
