Starboard Lima Carbon Adjustable 2025
Inspired by the Lima Prepreg, this cheaper version of the competition paddle was born, intended for those users who have an intermediate level of paddling and are looking to increase their level with a more efficient paddle. Without having the benefits of the Lima Prepreg in terms of weight, rigidity and behavior of the materials in the water, the Lima Carbon is an ideal option for the vast majority of people who enjoy paddling medium distances at a certain level, a great success from Starboard, which will delight many of you.
You can choose the 2-piece adjustable version if you're not sure about the height of your paddle yet or want to share it with someone else. Remember that the best transfer in paddling is obtained with a one-piece paddle, but if you are not yet clear about your size to cut the paddle or you simply prefer the versatility of the adjustable one, choose this option.
