When a blade flutters, part of your effort goes into holding it on line. The 2027 Starboard FLUX shapes the blade face and edges to help you link smooth strokes in SUP surf and on flat water.
From the catch to the release
FLUX pairs an Enduro-inspired teardrop outline with ideas from the Velocity blade. The thin, flat tip helps it enter and leave the water cleanly, and the 13° blade angle is designed for both surf and flat water.
Winglets help the blade track
The winglets are small features at either edge. They are designed to reduce turbulence and flutter in the pull so the blade stays on line. Pay attention to how often you need to correct the grip as you apply power.
Double concaves and stroke rhythm
The double concaves are designed to spread load across the blade face. Try linking shorter, even strokes and notice whether the rhythm breaks between entry and release.
Choose blade area and shaft together
The blade areas are 504 cm² for S, 553 cm² for M and 618 cm² for L. A smaller blade is a useful starting point for comparing a quicker rhythm, while a larger blade can suit a stronger catch. Fit depends on your stroke and cadence as well as your build.
Compare a fixed shaft if you already know your length, or a two-piece adjustable shaft if you change length or share a paddle. The Korea product page lists the Prepreg Carbon and Carbon builds, blade sizes and shaft options.
