Starboard have redefined their price-point Tufskin paddle into a Lima shape with a new concave and cupped blade shape.
The 2021 Lima Tuskin paddle has a slim profile, high stiffness and is lighter than the previous one. The large tip area allows for maximum forward motion even if the blade is not totally submerged. Never before has Starboard’s entry-level paddle been this close to a top-notch performance paddle.

“LIGHTEST BOARD EVER MADE BY STARBOARD”
It seems Starboard has set out to create a construction with the very lowest weight, best response and strongest build.
The Brushed Carbon Sandwich technology they pioneered in SUP 10 years ago has been gradually improved year by year. Winning 8 out of 10 Gold medals in the ISA SUP Surf Worlds over the last 4 years may indicate the Innovation Quality obtained.
The Blue Carbon Pro is available in the Pro range and Longboard Surf range.

This is a versatile range for big to small conditions, best suited for beginner and intermediate riders.
The all-new Wedge line upgrades the previous range of the Starboard Wide Point board range. These boards have a pro performance and feel without compromising stability or volume. All boards are 32’’ wide to provide oat and stability for heavier riders to rip.

SUP – WINDSURF – WINGSURF – WINGPADDLING
The state of the art learning tool for Wingboarding. The length provides the glide and ability to stay upwind. The thick rails, concave bottom and overall volume make it super stable. Footstrap inserts are placed perfectly for the first Wing classes, helping to find the right foot positioning.
This board is designed and tested for Wingboarding, and is at the same time a fabulous 10’4” x 32” GO paddle board. As a Windsurfing board it’s easy to learn on and you will enjoy an amazing glide in lighter winds.
