Starboard Velocity 2025

The Velocity paddle is designed to be an ultra-efficient design for smooth paddling.

A thin blade profile allows for minimal water disturbance at the catch of your stroke, and the innovative winglet design reduces turbulence around the wingtips. This results in a zero-flutter paddle stroke with improved efficiency and less strain on your body.

The high aspect blade ratio works best over longer durations and maintains higher speeds more easily. Paddlers will enjoy the Velocity across a range of paddling disciplines; distance race competitors will enjoy a less impactful blade design, while ocean paddlers will achieve a smoother catch and less drag in already turbulent water conditions; and intermediate, recreational paddlers will enjoy the smooth, flutter free sensation of the Velocity.

Features of the Starboard Velocity

• 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 from the findings in foiling. The winglets borders the blade and creates less turbulence. This helps the paddle to pull smoother through the water with less flutter.
• THIN BLADE TIP: For the 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 14.33-degree angle gives you a longer reach on each stroke – allowing for a longer stroke and smoother paddling.
• SEAMLESS CONNECTION: The Velocity blade features a new, inbuilt shaft connection that gives you a seamless join from blade to shaft.
• NEW SHAFTS PRO F in 35 or 40
• SIZES: Available in M, L & XL
