NEW Starboard Velocity Paddle

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 paddle.

The Velocity Paddle was developed with the goal of creating a blade that minimizes physical strain while maximizing performance in distance and endurance races.

Key design elements were meticulously implemented to meet these objectives.

Double Concave Design: Our double concave design ensures powerful acceleration at high speeds while remaining shallow enough to prevent splash on entry and reduce body strain. This design facilitates smooth, efficient strokes without compromising on performance.

Sharp Center Ridge: The paddle features a sharp center ridge that enhances clean entry and exit while maintaining excellent tracking through the water. This design element ensures a consistent and effective stroke with minimal disruption.

Winglets: Drawing from our extensive research and development, including trials with various foils and wing tips, the winglet design minimizes turbulence and flutter. Located at the edges of the blade, the winglets enable the paddle to glide smoothly through the water, reducing awkward sideways shake and enhancing overall efficiency.

Thin Blade Profile: The entire blade is designed to be thin, reducing splash on both entry and exit. This design choice contributes to a cleaner, more efficient paddling experience.

High Aspect Blade: Combining all these elements, the high aspect blade fulfills our goal of delivering a paddle that is less impactful on the body, ideal for distance and endurance races, and capable of providing even power distribution across the blade surface.
