Starboard Velosity vs Lima 

• The Velocity paddle is the ideal choice for endurance paddlers seeking to maximize distance with minimal muscle fatigue. Its design promotes efficiency and speed, especially over longer sessions or upwind.
• The Lima paddle, a long-standing race winner, remains the go-to choice for elite competitors, offering a mix of power, control, and versatility across various race conditions.

If you're focused on long-distance paddling with minimal fatigue, the Velocity is the right choice. If you're aiming to race and need a proven winner for any race scenario, the Lima is your paddle.
