The New Starboard Enduro Carbon Paddle

Introducing the Enduro Carbon, Starboard’s most versatile and longest-standing paddle. The Starboard Enduro Carbon is the best paddle for waves and all-around cruising, trusted by our world champion riders, including team rider and world champ Benoît Carpentier.

What sets the Enduro Carbon apart is its classic teardrop-shaped blade, featuring a wide tip. This design ensures that when you’re in the waves and apply pressure to the paddle, it won’t sink, providing just the right amount of resistance. At the same time, its narrowing shape allows for a high cadence, making it both powerful and efficient.

For those looking to cruise, the Enduro Carbon is an excellent choice. While it’s not designed for long-distance paddling, it offers great stability and forgiveness, making it ideal for a variety of conditions.

The Starboard Enduro Carbon: for all-around cruising or SUP surfing, this full carbon 3-piece paddle is by far Starboard’s best value paddle.
