As usual Harty’s explanations are first rate. I like the lazy option of pottering around and blasting along at breakneck speed on the mid 2010’s floaty Rio with a Tushingham 8.5m2 race sail. I really miss the Tushingham sails.
Is this Carve suited for choppy conditions? Concerned on the width will make it too bouncy in chop. Unfortunately my local spot is choppy even in moderately light winds.
Now I really dont know what to buy. Wanted to get something around 120l for the family. Was thinking initially of a JP Magic Ride 119, then I saw Duotone Eagle 120 looks interesting, and now this! Probably the best board review I have ever seen. Is the weight difference noticeable with the other construction? I don't want to have to carry it over the stones in Vassiliki every time my wife wants to go on the water.....
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. There is a weight difference, I'd suggest heading to Starboard's website as they list the weights of all sizes/constructions for you to compare. Here's a link: windsurf.star-board.com/windsurfing-boards/freeride-racing-windsurf-boards/carve-freeride-windsurf-board/
Hi Peter. I am considering trading my 2020 GO 133 in for this 129 beauty. What is your recomendation? Will be there be any improvement because the GO board follow the Carve shapes. What will be the main diffrence between the two? Thanks
Hi, there's a size recommendation on Starboard's website, alternatively get in touch with your local Starboard Retailer, the'll be able to advise further.
I've been looking for a size advice on starboards website and can't find anything. I'm a 93kG sailor so not the 'average' size. I got a set of NCX's from 6,3 to 9.0. Should I go for the 129 or 139?
I just bought an old used one for real cheap. Its real easy to poke holes in lo. l Its at the end of is life. With that said I think you should ship me a new one. Please and thank you ...
Excellent presentation! - to the point but never boring! 👍👏
Fantastic explanation, thank you! I love Peter’s enthusiasm
Glad you enjoyed it!

How do I fix a 99 carve for speed and jump on a choppy sea?

Hi, Tushingham Team here. The 129 is certainly an improvement, you'll notice earlier planing, quicker top speed and easier gybing on the newest model!
What size Carve for a bigger sailor? 100kg?

A rough rule of thumb is kg + 45 = liters
So 139

We'd recommend speaking to your local Starboard Retailer, you won't be disappointed with a new one!
I miss my star board, no one windsurfs any longer
They do!!!
