Carbon Speedster 86 RDM Weight
With just 435 grams, these are our lightest RDM paddles. The regular-diameter version of this paddle weighs 10 grams more, and the 81 RDM version, with its smaller blade, weighs 15 grams less. So using the RDM version with the smaller blade means your paddle weighs 425 grams.
Who is the 100% Carbon Speedster 86 RDM for
NSP paddles usually come with a standard diameter of 29mm, which we have found to be the perfect fit for most paddlers, by a very large margin. These standard diameter paddles will work in all paddling conditions that you can participate in. By creating the RDM version of the Speedster, NSP recognizes that a select group of paddlers prefers a reduced diameter though.
Note:
When handling carbon high-performance products like the 100% Carbon Speedster 86 RDM, NSP recommends the use of appropriately padded bags.
How to cut a carbon paddle
Finding out the perfect length and cutting your high-performance carbon fiber paddle shaft to length can be slightly daunting the first time, which is why we created an extensive blog for paddlers looking to learn more about cutting and gluing their paddle themselves. We also edited a basic video you can watch from your phone.

CUT YOUR PADDLE SHAFT TO FIT
After you have purchased your new NSP fixed paddle, you will need to cut and fit to size the shaft, then glue the handle in to place. If you are not familiar with how to do this, please have a look at the video tutorial – whether you race, surf or foil – follow along with Team Rider Paul Jonesy as he explains how to easily cut the paddle shaft to the perfect size.

BUILT WITH BIO-BASED POLYMERS
All of our composite paddles, including this 100% Carbon Speedster 76, are baked after a bio-based polymer is applied. Supplied by Entropy Resins, we are aware that even bio-based epoxy impacts the environment. But replacing petroleum-based materials with renewable plant-based resources is a good move, recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Entropy Resins products meet the program criteria and are all USDA Certified Bio-based Products.
