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.
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.
