Selkirk LABS Project 008
Selkirk's first full-foam paddle, released through the LABS feedback program days after CRBN's Genesis. Pickleheads rated the 16mm 4.5/5 as a top-tier control paddle with little power. It was the platform Selkirk built the Boomstik on six months later.

MEASURED BY THE LABS
The register does not re-measure paddles or copy a lab's numbers wholesale. Power, pop and spin belong to the people with the radar guns; go read them.
FIELD REPORTS · AFTER YOU BUY IT
Reviewers measure a paddle new. Nobody measures it at hour sixty.
Loading field reports…
Keep a bag on Rally: log the hours you put on this paddle, when the grit fades, and when it goes dead. It stays on your device until you press "send a wear report", and the report carries no name.
