2026 Starboard Lima Tufskin Carbon Shaft F35 — 2pc

The Starboard Lima Tufskin Carbon F35 2026 is the most balanced version of Starboard's Lima paddle. The Lima blade is Starboard's reference for high-performance SUP paddling: narrow, flat, with a 13° angle. This version pairs the Lima blade with the F35 shaft (intermediate stiffness, perfect for serious recreational use) and Tufskin construction featuring 100% pre-preg 3K Carbon on the blade.

Lima blade design:

• Narrow, flat profile: lets you pull the paddle close to the board's rail, keeping a straight line.
• 13° angle: the standard angle for efficient paddling.
• 3K Carbon pre-preg: stiffness and durability with no heavy laminates.
• New shaft texture: grippy texture on the grip, better hold when wet.

Construction:

F35 vs F40 — which shaft to choose. The F35 is slightly more flexible (more comfortable on long sessions, forgiving with technique). The F40 is stiffer (transfers every watt to the water, ideal for racing). For serious recreational paddling or fitness, the F35 is the balanced pick.

How we recommend it at El Niño Mallorca. The Lima Tufskin F35 is the best-selling Lima for a reason: it's the sweet spot. If you race seriously, look at the Lima Pre-preg F40. If you just cruise, there are cheaper aluminium or fibreglass options. The Lima Tufskin F35 is the "paddle for life" of the evolving SUP rider.
