Starboard Enduro Tiki Tech Lite 2 Piece Paddle

The 2026 Starboard Enduro Tiki Tech Lite Paddle is a premium, lightweight, multi-purpose stand-up paddleboard (SUP) paddle engineered for paddlers seeking a high-performing, visually striking, and comfortable stroke. Designed around Starboard’s iconic Enduro teardrop blade geometry, the "Lite" construction utilizes a scaled-down, reduced-diameter carbon shaft that accommodates paddlers with smaller hands, lighter builds, or those who prefer a more agile, high-cadence stroke.

Pairing Starboard’s durable Tiki Tech composite construction with sustainable manufacturing practices, this paddle balances power, strength, and flex for flat-water cruising, wave riding, and long-distance touring.

Key Performance Features

• Enduro Teardrop Blade Geometry: The teardrop shape features a wide tip area that engages immediately upon entry into the water. This design ensures a powerful, stable catch—allowing you to transfer power efficiently even if the blade is not completely submerged.

• 4-Degree Blade Angle: Engineered with a shallow 4° blade rake that keeps the blade perpendicular to the water through the power phase of your stroke. This angle is ideal for catching waves, quick acceleration, and maintaining a comfortable rhythm without catching the deck.

• Tiki Tech Composite Construction: Features a lightweight recycled PVC core wrapped in full woven carbon fiber layers, reinforced with extra unidirectional carbon stringers for increased flex control and structural durability.

• Lite Reduced-Diameter Shaft: Specially tailored with a narrower shaft profile (typically 26mm) and scaled-down components. This provides an ergonomic, fatigue-reducing grip for smaller hands without compromising shaft stiffness or response.

• Tiki Clamp Adjustment System: On 2-piece and 3-piece adjustable variants, Starboard’s low-profile Tiki Clamp mechanism ensures smooth length adjustments while eliminating twist and play between shaft segments.

• Integrated Eco-Feature (Trash Picker): Every paddle comes supplied with Starboard's signature clip-on Trash Picker attachment, enabling paddlers to easily scoop marine plastics out of the water while paddling.
