Join Mike from StandUpMagazine and Carsten, Germany’s foiling pioneer, as they dive into the details of the Starboard Foil Blade, a paddle designed for foil efficiency and high-performance paddling. Whether you’re mastering flatwater or catching waves, the Foil Blade will help you get on the foil faster and stay there longer.
Carsten: “The Foil Blade is short, wide, and built for efficiency. It’s all about fast, high-frequency strokes that get you up on the foil in no time.”
Why the Foil Blade Works?
› High-Cadence Design: The short, wide shape allows for rapid, powerful strokes.
“You don’t need endurance; you need efficient strokes with high cadence to get the job done.”
› Smooth Water Entry: With angled sides, the blade enters the water smoothly, giving you direct power transfer with no wobble.
“It goes into the water like butter—no shaking, just pure efficiency.”
› Compact & Lightweight: Easy to pack and perfect for travel.
“It’s so lightweight, you can take it anywhere. Just five to ten strokes, and you’re on the wave. Then, pack it up and go again.”
› Efficient Performance: With a high cadence, you don’t need many strokes, just powerful, well-timed ones.
“The higher your cadence, the faster you’ll get on the foil. It’s not about the number of strokes; it’s about how efficient they are.”
Watch Carsten demonstrate the Starboard Foil Blade in action, showing how a few short, powerful strokes are all it takes to get up and foil smoothly.
