Hello,

I would like to demo Starboard's high aspect paddles but no one near me has them. I travel to SoCal for work and was wondering who has them in inventory and is willing to let me demo.

I am an experienced paddler so I won't destroy your gear.  I am ready to buy, but need to try them out to determine shaft and blade sizing.

I will probably be buying two, a carbon race one for me and one of the tiki's for my wife. 

Thanks

Have tried both the older 500 and 550 sizes and there is noticeable difference in power.  Note that the 2015 models use different nomenclature.  Try to contact the distributor in your area if you cannot test through a dealer.  We tried our 500 on a demo day and bought it on the spot.  Has a very very low swing weight and the perfect flex round shaft - our best paddle for overall use.

Forgot to mention, I'm looking for a shop that has M and S blades sizes to demo.  Maybe even an XS for the wife.

Do you have a brochure or something that lists widths and sizes?

Thanks
