Starboard Lima Tufskin V5 - 3 Piece Paddle

Starboard's Tufskin are great value paddles, designed to give entry-level paddlers and families an easy way to take to the water and have fun. Both feature cutting-edge blade shapes inspired by our World Championship winning Lima & Enduro models.

With paddles, the difference between 'fine' and 'really right' is often bigger than people expect - weight, stiffness, blade shape and packability all change how a session feels.

Where it sits in the range

In Starboard's paddle range, Tufskin models are the practical, value-led choices. They suit new paddlers, families, shared setups and centres where durability matters as much as outright light weight. If you paddle more often and want a livelier feel, a carbon Lima, Enduro or Velocity is the next step up.

Lima Tufskin V5 - 3 Piece Paddle is best for paddlers whose priorities match its blade shape, shaft format and construction. If you are torn between Tufskin, Enduro, Lima or Velocity, we are very happy to talk through the trade-offs rather than leave you guessing.

A 3-piece is the easiest for travel, storage and sharing. A 2-piece is the natural step up for regular paddlers who want a stiffer, quicker-feeling setup. Fixed length is the lightest and most direct option once you know your ideal size.
