Starboard Foil Blade Paddle

Downwind Foil and Flat Water Paddle Up Paddle

The Starboard Foil Blade Paddle: Foil Blade is designed specifically for high-performance SUP foiling, providing instant low-end power for a smooth and powerful downwind experience. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Key Features:

1. Instant Power & Acceleration:

   • Low-aspect blade outline delivers fast acceleration, allowing you to get onto the foil quickly. It’s optimized for SUP foil downwinding, giving powerful thrust from a standing start.

2. Low-Aspect Blade Design:

   • Focused on short bursts of power, especially for initial acceleration. Though not designed for long durations or high-speed paddling, it excels at low speeds to quickly lift you onto the foil.

3. Two Construction Options:

   • Foil Carbon: Built for SUP foiling, designed to reduce damage if it strikes the foil.
   • Prepreg Carbon: Lighter and made for pro riders, up to 15% lighter than the Foil Carbon version.

4. New Blade Shape:

   • Features a double concave in the center for enhanced power and winglets around the blade’s edge to reduce turbulence and flutter, improving stability and smoother pull through the water.

5. Wider Blade, Shorter Height:

   • The shorter blade minimizes the risk of hitting the foil, while the wider outline gives more clearance and power.

6. Seamless Shaft Connection:

   • New durable inner shaft connection adds stiffness and durability between the blade and the shaft.

7. Carbon Pro Shaft:

   • Prepreg carbon shaft offers lightweight, strong, and responsive paddle performance. The shaft is textured to prevent slipping when wet.

8. Ergonomic Handle:

   • The flat-top handle provides a wide grip for powerful leverage, making it ideal for both sprint and long-distance races. You can adjust paddle angles without losing power.

9. Anti-Twist Inner Grooving:

   • Available on 2-piece paddles, this feature ensures easy and reliable alignment. Be cautious not to extend the shaft beyond the indicated “maximum” point.

10. Smooth Clamp:

    • The wide clamp offers easy release and optimal grip on 2-piece paddles, reducing water infiltration.

11. Paddle Sock:

    • Made from stretchable polyester to protect the paddle from dust, scratches, and UV damage, eliminating the need for disposable paper wrapping.

Targeted Usage:

• SUP Foil Downwinding: For riders looking for instant acceleration and quick lifts onto the foil at low speeds.
• Available in 2 construction options to match varying skill levels from beginner to pro.

This paddle is built with precision to maximize your foiling experience, offering both comfort and control while preventing paddle strikes to the foil.
