TIKI TECH TUFSKINThe Carbon BX blade technology features a customwoven biaxial carbon cloth, creating an extremelylightweight blade, which retains strength whilepossessing good flex characteristics. Additionalreinforcement and higher grade Carbon has beenincorporated for 2014, ensuring the greateststrength for the most demanding paddlers. The

Carbon BX blades are probably the lightest on themarket. The blades feature a lightweight PVC coreand full length ABS rail.

Available in all shapes and sizes. Enduro bladesfeature green graphics and green ABS edge, whilethe High Aspect blade features orange graphics andorange ABS edge.

Our new proprietary blade technology, Tiki Techfeatures a lightweight PVC core, full ABS rail, glasslay-up, and special lightweight surface finishmaterial.

The result is a blade with forgiving flex characteristics,strength, and extremely light weight. The Tiki Tech

blades are comparable in weight to our 2012 carbonblade offering, providing a high-performance blade atgreat value.

Available in all shapes and sizes, Tiki Tech blades comein blue, pink, green, and orange graphics options withmatching ABS edge.

The Tufskin blades are strong, extremely durable ABSfoils based on The Enduro L and Enduro S blades.

Their forgiving nature and high quality shape makesthem the best value offering in the sport.

The Tufskin blades are perfect for whitewater paddlingdue to their extreme strength and impact resistance.

CARBON BX

Flex and strength are tuned in each blade size and shape through the utilization of biaxial and uni-directional cloths. A blade with good flex allows one to paddle onlonger and harder without getting tired. Good blade flex also is essential in recovering from long paddle sessions. We greatly increased blade strength for 2014 withhigher grade carbon fibers and conduct rigorous quality assurance/quality control checks to ensure the highest quality products. All Starboards composite blades feature light-

weight PVC core and a super-strong ABS rail insert along the entire edge of the blade as its the upper part of the blade's neck which is most exposed to the board'srail.

BLADE overviewThe blades size can be compared to the gears of a bike: the higher the gear or the smaller the blade, the less efforteach stroke consumes with less forward motion generated.

The lower the gear or the bigger the blade, the more energy will be used and the more forward motion will be generated.

The smaller blade sizes are recommended for long paddle sessions, lighter people, or those with a high cadence stroke.The larger blade sizes provide immediate power with only a few strokes enabling fast and late drops into waves.

As paddlers are becoming more experienced, many are choosing a smaller blade size, which is less fatiguing duringlonger sessions. Sean Poynter uses an Enduro M and Zane Schweitzers choice is an Enduro S for wave riding.
