ENDURO BLADE

SURF AND FLAT WATER

This amazing allround 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 learn on for stability in the waves and has won 3 world titles in the last 2 years.

The Enduro is direct in the water, the first catch feels incredibly precise and powerful. Increased cadence due to a smoother waterflow and also great to lean on while wave riding.

Low aspect design makes it easy to lift out of the water with each stroke and also great to lean on while wave riding.

BALSA

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT

100% long grain low-density balsa core for better strength and paddle sensation. Biaxial 45-degree glass fabric used to increase durability. Extended reinforcement on the blade neck for greater overall strength.

3K carbon plain weave flax pre-mold neck increased durability. Biaxial glass filament rail infusion all the way up to the neck for increased durability and impact resistant.

Pre-Impregnation

Starboard wanted to develop the lightest shafts with the most accurate bend curves. Pre-impregnated fabrics have the lowest resin uptake and provide the most consistent production.

Carbon shaft is light weight and durable for both wave and touring sessions. The Carbon fibres are filament winded with the most precise amount of resin infusion.

What does the flex mean?

Balsa comes in a fixed S40, adjustable in S35.

S35 – Popular with taller paddlers using a longer shaft.

S40 – A balance in performance between stiffness and flex.

How many pieces in the paddle?

Adjustable shaft is precise, light and strong. The wide tiki clamp for a quick and effortless release. The skinny rounded and smooth clamp ensures that your hand never gets stuck on a hard corner when shifting grip.

2 piece Adjustment – adjustable shafts are great for paddlers looking for different paddle lengths or sharing the paddle with friends and family.
