Welcome to the channel! This video is all about the **2026 Starboard Carve** — one of the most well-known freeride boards out there. This was my first proper session on it, mixing some real on-water riding with a few thoughts on how it feels straight out the box. The Carve is all about **comfort, control, and easy performance**. It gets going early, stays stable through the chop, and most importantly — it doesn’t punish mistakes. Whether you’re working on getting into the footstraps, improving your gybes, or just want something that makes every session feel good… this is exactly where the Carve fits in. First impressions? Super smooth, forgiving, and still quicker than you’d expect. More sessions and deeper thoughts coming soon --- Cameras mentioned here, and discounts and freebies can be found though this link... https://store.insta360.com/product/x5?utm_term=INRTW2N 📬 For lessons and coaching enquiries, email me at: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) 📲 Follow me for regular updates, coaching tips, and behind-the-scenes content: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cookiesport TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ridealongcookie Join the Facebook Coaching community with Cookie.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/cookiecoaching/ Audio: Recorded on InstaMic — https://instamic.io (not all...you can clearly tell when i forgot to put the mic on! ) Eyewear: SunGod — https://www.sungod.co/en-gb/ Support the Channel & Get Exclusive Content: Become part of the Ride-Along community on Patreon — your support helps me keep creating fresh content and coaching videos to help YOU improve your favorite sport! 👉 https://www.patreon.com/Ridealongcookie #windsurfing #starboard #carve #freeridewindsurfing #insta360 #insta360x5 #ridealong
