Carve Wood Sandwich 2026

The Starboard Carve 2026 in Wood Sandwich is a freeride windsurf board and one of Starboard's best sellers, built for a smoother ride, intuitive handling and effortless planing in all conditions. Each size has an individually optimized shape, so performance matches your level and style.

A concave nose segment creates more lift and better planing in light wind, and an extended flat section in the tail rocker gives easy, passive planing without effort while gliding through wind holes. A double-step tail, inspired by Starboard's iSONIC racing line, improves planing and acceleration, and a refined underwater shape at the tail gives earlier planing with less drag at high speed. An enhanced deck concave lowers the centre of gravity for more drive and keeps the board stable in rougher conditions and through jibes. The board comes with a Drake Freeride fin for control and natural turns, plus new ergonomic pads with toe support, a shock-absorbing comfort layer and 10-millimetre thick footpads with a diamond pattern for grip. The Wood Sandwich construction uses a wood-veneer sandwich for a durable, lively board with a good weight-to-strength ratio. Available in volumes from 109 to 169 litres.
