KEY FEATURES Twin ribs shape: The ribs create blade strength and ability to cut through the water faster and reduces 15% of core volume of the blade. The concave: The concave on the power face is guiding the water throughout the blade controlling the wobbling and increasing the water flow speed. All your power is transferred in a straight forward motion as you don’t need to worry about paddle alignment in the water. 10° Blade Angle: The Lima features a 10° angle at the blade neck, for an efficient power phase catch. Narrow and flat profile: A unique narrow and flat profile allows you to pull the blade very close to the rail of the board, giving it a nice line. Stiff and strong: The combination of UD and 3K carbon enhances the blade’s strength and stiffness. This results in a more durable and responsive performance during intense paddling sessions. NEW Refined shaft: The new Carbon and Carbon Pro shafts have been refined for the perfect balance of weight and strength. Both feature a new anti-slip unidirectional texture, providing a secure grip when wet. Ergonomic handle: The handle is designed to provide a powerful 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 whole paddle and the blade. You can steer the paddle at slight angles and remain at full power. Paddle sock: Made of stretchable polyester, the sock replaces paper waste and protects your paddle from dust, scratches, and UV damage.
