Starboard Velocity Prepreg Carbon F40 Paddle

The Velocity paddle is perfect for all types of paddling. Whether you're a distance race competitor seeking a less impactful blade design, an ocean paddler looking for a smoother catch and less drag in turbulent waters, or an intermediate or recreational paddler in search of a smooth, flutter-free experience - the Velocity has it all.

SMOOTH AND EFFICIENT CATCH

The Velocity paddle is designed to be an ultra-efficient design for smooth paddling. A thin blade profile allows for minimal water disturbance at the catch of your stroke, and the innovative winglet design reduces turbulence around the wingtips. This results in a zero-flutter paddle stroke with improved efficiency and less strain on your body.

PREPREG CARBON SHAFT

Prepreg carbon shaft, which is super light, strong and responsive shaft technology. The shaft features a new anti-slip unidirectional texture that is grippy when wet.

• Our lightest weight construction, strong and responsive.
• Full blade made from premium, pre-impregnated 3K Carbon.
• Controlled resin uptake. The overall strength is increased with high consistency pre-impregnation.

SHAFT FLEX: Flex 40 (F40)

• Medium-high flex.
• A balance in performance between stiffness and flex. 
• Ideal for paddlers wanting lower body impact.

SHAFT TYPE

Fixed - Round 27.5 mm

• Perfect grip for long distance paddling

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• Double concave design: The double concave design gives the paddle stability, tracking and an even power spread across the blade surface. This allows you to have even power throughout your stroke while reducing splash on entry and exit.
• Winglets:  The Winglet design is inspired by our findings in foiling. The winglets border the blade and create less turbulence. This helps the paddle to pull smoother through the water with less flutter.
• Cleanest catch:  The blade tip is thin and flat, resulting in the cleanest entry and exit in the water and less impact on your body.
• Angle of attack: The 14-degree angle gives you a longer reach on each stroke – allowing for a longer stroke and smoother paddling.
• Carbon Pro shaft: Prepreg carbon shaft, which is super light, strong and responsive shaft technology. The shaft features a new anti-slip unidirectional texture that is grippy when wet.
  
• Seamless connection: The Velocity blade features a new, inbuilt shaft connection that gives you a seamless join from blade to shaft.
• Ergonomic handle: The handle is designed to provide a powerful grip, making it ideal for any type of racing, whether long-distance or sprint. The flat top and wide grip create powerful leverage for the whole paddle and the blade. You can steer the paddle at slight angles and remain at full power.
• Paddle sock: Made of stretchable polyester, the sock replaces paper waste and protects your paddle from dust, scratches, and UV damage.
