Starboard Enduro Balsa Carbon Shaft SUP Paddle, S40

For Surf and Flat Water

This amazing all round blade suits anyone, from World wave rider champion Zane Schweitzer to entry-level flat water paddling. The direct, powerful and extra precise paddle shape with deep side concaves gets you from zero to hero.

The wide lower part helps create a maximum efficiency area, even if your stroke is not yet deep enough into the water. That wide lower part is also great to lean on for stability in the waves, and has won 3 world titles in the last 2 years.
