2025 Starboard Carve Wood Sandwich Windsurfing Board (109 -129 -149)
Price range: £1,889.00 through £1,949.00
CARVE
AS GOOD AS IT GETS!
Easy planing. Confident control. Autopilot jibes. The 2025 CARVEs deliver big on effortless planing, autopilot jibing and a controlled ride in any conditions.
EXTRA EFFICIENT
The concave nose segment create more lift, improving planing performance in light wind.
EXTRA DRIVE
Enhanced deck concave creates a lower centre of gravity for the drive and power generated through the rig. It also keeps the board stable and planted while blasting in rougher conditions and through jibes.
EXTRA REACTIVE
Optional inboard stance with middle position back footstrap gives more rail-to-rail reactivity and control to the storm riders out there.
EXTRA QUICK
Inspired by our iSONIC racing line, the new double-step tail improves planing and acceleration.
EXTRA PERFORMANCE
Carefully refined underwater shape at the tail maximises earlier planing while reducing drag at higher top end speeds.
EXTRA EASY
Easy passive planing without any effort. Extending the tail rocker flat section forward on the CARVEs allows an easier acceleration to a more natural planing threshold, whilst maintaining planing glide thru wind holes and reducing critical reliance on board trim.
EXTRA COMFORT
More comfortable for your skin, the Jim Drake Slick footstraps are made with FSC-certified, sustainably sourced and plant-based Yulex foam. With 85% natural rubber content, CO² emitted during the manufacturing process is reduced by 80%. 15% synthetic neoprene is retained to improve UV resistance.
EXTRA TRACTION
Under your feet the 10mm thick footpads feature a diamond grooving pattern, providing essential grip and comfort over extended sessions while being resistant to wear-and-tear.
EXTRA CONTROL
Drake Freeride fin for great control. Blending flowing, natural turns with straight line efficiency and confidence, each CARVE’s fin is carefully specified and optimised to enhance the exciting and responsive performance.

*NEW* 2026 STARBOARD GO 152 EVA 3/4
GO Windsurfer Board
ONE FOR ALL, LET’S GO
Oversized cutaways extend all the way to the front footstrap, making the GO152 ride free even at high speed; it’s a fast board despite its size. The GO’s straps position enhance gybing, as you usually prefer to have the front foot further forward. The longer tail area helps exiting gybes as the board keeps levelled through the gybe. Middle fin option: The Starlite tech option has a middle fin box in case you wish to learn windsurfing in light winds and need that stability and added upwind “hold”.
Introducing the GO 2026 range – our iconic One For All reimagined. The new GO 152 (260 x 80 cm) features huge 3 cm deep cutaways for enhanced displacement mode and smooth planing up to 25 knots. It doubles as a foil platform with GO-Fly Foil 1800 and a forward foil box (2200/109/500 UCS) to fly from the early learning stage. The rest remain proven.
*NEW* 2026 STARBOARD GO – Starlite
GO Windsurfer Board
YOUR FIRST WINDSURF BOARD
Superb versatility with ultra modern handling define the all GO Windsurfer range. Evolved directly from the hugely successful Carve family, GO Windsurfers feature an integrated full daggerboard and longer mast tracks, enhancing confident performance over a wide range of sub-planing and planing conditions. Often a great choice for a family with a range of riders or conditions, the integrated daggerboard ensures more confident windward performance, enabling better upwind angles and less drift in lighter conditions, but smoothly folding away to allow for a faster, more responsive ride as soon as planing conditions (or rider experience) are suitable. Explore the coastline in lighter wind conditions using the daggerboard, or enjoy the thrill of carve jibing a responsive board with daggerboard retracted neatly inside the body of the GO Windsurfer. The 165 size is the ideal entry-level and intermediate board for smaller riders, featuring an elongated shape for excellent traction and glide before planing. The GO Windsurfer 175 and 185 are best sellers for first time windsurfers, delivering exciting versatility from light to windy planing conditions. The modern GO shapes feature a more lively, responsive ride and intuitive jibe. Wider nose, long cutaways, optimized profile and efficient rocker line all improve your ride thanks to more glide, stability, traction and ease of planing.

Ieuan Harrison –
This board is fantastic! If you are looking for a board that goes fast, eats chop and gybes like a knife through butter then this board is for you. A friend remarked ‘if you shut your eyes you think you’re on an isonic but friendlier’, I couldn’t agree more. It’s fast like an isonic but a lot friendlier and more controlled to sail, which for an average windsurfer like myslef is perfect. I struggle to find the top end of it despite riding predomintly in choppy sub par south coast condiotions. Pairing it with a true freeride sail, such as a cheetah or NCX, is ideal for this board but it also works well with wave and cambered sails.
I hope you enjoy this board as much as I do, it truly is brilliant.
For reference I use the 129ltr and find it works great in 15-25 knots.
