The Tufskin is a great value paddle range created for entry-level paddlers and families who just want to get out on the water and have fun. Tufskin and Tufskin V feature concave and cupped blade shapes that are inspired by our World Championship winning Lima & Enduro paddles.
This gives the paddle a slim profile, high stiffness, and lower weight, making it easy to maneuver and control. The large tip area also allows for maximum forward motion even if the blade is not totally submerged.
Both are ideal for recreational paddlerboarders and those getting into the sport, popular for schools and centers worldwide.
Both models feature the wide Starboard handle with a sandblasted finish for extra grip and comfort, as well as being secured with the reliable Starboard Super clamp.
THE CONCAVE
AND CUPPED BLADE SHAPE
The concave on the power face is guiding the water throughout the blade controlling the wobbling and increasing the water flow speed. The edge defining the concave starts round-shaped at the tip of the blade to separate the water smoothly. It then becomes sharper to dictate the water its path and stabilize the blade. All your power is transferred in a straight forward motion as you don’t need to worry about paddle alignment in the water anymore.
SLIM PROFILE
Slim profile allows you to pull the blade very close to the rail of the board, giving it a really nice line.
LARGE TIP AREA
Allows for max forward motion even if the blade is not totally submerged. Useful for entry-level paddlers
