Starboard Velocity PrePreg Carbon Paddle 2026

> 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.

> ANTI TWIST INNER AND SMOOTH CLAMP - Easy and reliable alignment. The wide clamp for a quick and effortless release and reduced water infiltration.
Available on 2 pcs paddles.

> PADDLE SOCK - Made of stretchable polyester, the sock replaces paper waste and protects your paddle from dust, scratches, and UV damage.

WHAT MAKES UP THE 'CARBON' CONSTRUCTION?
