Starboard 2025 VELOCITY PREP 1 OVAL F40 paddle

STARBOARD VELOCITY SUP PADDLE
MINIMUM RESISTANCE, MAXIMUM DISTANCE

The Velocity paddle has been designed for ultra-efficient and smooth paddling.

Velocity paddles are suitable for a variety of disciplines; Racers will enjoy less strenuous rowing; and intermediate, recreational users will enjoy a smooth, flutter-free paddle feel.

GREAT FOR LONG-DISTANCE ROWING

The high aspect ratio blade with a less straining blade design works best over longer distances and makes it easier to maintain a faster pace.
Michael Booth won the 21-kilometer race at the 2024 Carolina Cup SUP with the Velocity paddle.

SMOOTH, EFFICIENT GRIP

The Velocity paddle is designed with an ultra-efficient design for a smooth paddling experience.
The thin profile and innovative design reduce turbulence around the blade. This results in zero paddle shifting, increased efficiency, and less body strain.

DOUBLE-CONCAVE DESIGN

The double-concave design provides stability and even power distribution across the entire pen surface. This allows for even power throughout the entire stroke, while reducing splashes when the paddle enters and exits the water.

WING

Construction winglets were inspired by our discoveries in foiling. The winglets surround the blade and create less turbulence. This helps the paddle move more smoothly through the water with less yawing.

THE CLEANEST ENTRY

The tip of the blade is thin and flat, providing the cleanest entry and exit from the water and less strain.

NEW IMPROVED SHAFT

The new Carbon and Carbon Pro shafts have been improved to provide the perfect balance between weight and strength. Both feature a new non-slip, unidirectional texture for a secure grip, even when wet.

ANTI-TWIST CLAMP

Easy adjustment. Wide clamp ensures quick and easy adjustment and limits water penetration. The handle does not twist relative to the shaft.

ERGONOMIC HANDLE

The handle is designed to provide a strong grip, making it ideal for any type of racing, whether long-distance or sprint. The flat top and wide grip create powerful leverage for the entire paddle. You can steer the paddle and maintain full power.

PADDLE SOCK

Made made of stretchable polyester, the sock protects the paddle from dust, scratches and UV damage.
