The 2011 Starboard Star Carbon Wave Paddle is a new Stand Up Paddle (SUP) paddle.
The popular large blade for fast acceleration in waves. The forgiving rounded blade also provides a lot of surface to lean on during maneuvers on the wave face. The Wave blade sports a slightly rounded profile to enhance stability in each stroke. It provides more power per stroke than the largest Enduro blade and is easier on your shoulders than the Power blade.
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.
- Large blade area for a performance orientated wave paddler
- Possible the lightest wave paddle in the market place
- Comes complete with nylon handle
