Starboard Carve AST Windsurf Board 141L

The Carve is Starboard's freeride board

Freeride boards are designed to be fast, exciting and fun, while delivering their best performance regardless of rider skill:

We call it Plug and Play. Wind-range and jibing performance are critical when freeriding. The new Carves, with their slimmer shapes and extra wide widths, are the class-leaders in wind range and they jibe beautifully in all manner of styles: from wide-arc power turns to pivotal back foot carves. With its stability, they even help you progress in your carve jibing skill and make uphauling a breeze.

• So for 2013, all the Carves now follow the new Slim Concept: wider and thinner for a more efficiency. By making the outlines wider, the boards will have better low-speed stability: this is important when uphauling or completing your jibes for example.
• By making the profiles thinner, these wider boards don't feel big - on the contrary, the lower
