HOW TO TAKE CARE OF ADJUSTABLE SHAFT
Do not pull the inner shaft out further than the “maximum” point indicated on the shart.
The direct catch and ability to redirect automatically is what makes our world champion race team choose the Lima.
Our champions boast that the Lima propels the board faster through the water.
The new standard in high-performance paddling.
Starboard Dream Team riders race with production paddles, the same paddle as you. Here are their setups:
Connor Baxter 71kg chooses Lima XL for Tech & Sprint / Lima L for distance. S35
Michael Booth 78kg chooses Lima XL on the S35 shaft for all conditions
Esperanza Barrera 61kg chooses Lima M as her preferred setup
Fiona Wylde 64kg chooses Lima M with S45 shat for all conditions
Daniel Hasulyo 68-72kg chooses Lima XL with S30 for all conditions
Clément Colmas 68kg chooses Lima M S30
Caterina Stenta 54kg chooses Lima M
Bart De Zwart, SUP expedition legend chooses “I choose a Lima M S35 with a longer shaft than most other riders, this is because for longer races you stand up straighter and the stroke is longer with slower frequency.”
• Reduce 15% of core volume
• The ribs create blade strength and ability to cut through the water faster
• NEW Carbon and Tiki Tech blades are now also featured twin ribs shape
The concave on the power face is guiding the water throughout the blade controlling the wobbling and increasing the water flow speed.
The edge defining the concave starts round-shaped at the tip of the blade to separate the water smoothly. It then becomes sharper to dictate the water its path and stabilize the blade.
All your power is transferred in a straight forward motion as you don’t need to worry about paddle alignment in the water anymore.
The Lima features a 10° angle at the blade neck, for an efficient power phase catch. Combine this with a unique narrow and flat profile allowing you to pull the blade very close to the rail of the board, giving it a really nice line.
