Easy planing. Confident control. Autopilot jibes. The 2025 CARVEs deliver big on effortless planing, autopilot jibing and a controlled ride in any conditions.
The exciting 2025 CARVEs deliver big on effortless planing, autopilot jibing and a controlled ride in any conditions. We never felt so accomplished about a board range. Each board individually shaped for the intended conditions and skill level. On the larger sizes, a long flat section makes for extra easy passive planing and a smooth ride to let you find the footstraps effortlessly. Midrange sizes carve like a small board, yet switching your stance and flipping the sail you have the confidence of a bigger board, thanks to a combination of thinned out rails towards the tail and thicker forward rails. The small sizes deliver a true sporty feel with higher top end speed and that extra bit of control you’ll need for windsurfing confidently in strong wind.
The concave nose segment create more lift, improving planing performance in light wind.
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.
Optional inboard stance with middle position back footstrap gives more rail-to-rail reactivity and control to the storm riders out there.
Inspired by our iSONIC racing line, the new double-step tail improves planing and acceleration.
Carefully refined underwater shape at the tail maximises earlier planing while reducing drag at higher top end speeds.
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.
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.
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.
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.
