Goya Carrera 5 Carbon
Generation 5 – Freecarve
This is not a Blue Volar, and it does not have centered or entry-level insert options. This is the All-New Carrera 5 Carbon, a Raceboard with a FreeWave deck that connects the entire sole of your foot to the deck below. Paired with a race rocker and cut-outs, nothing stops you from flying at max speed with the confidence over chop and open ocean swells that you only felt on your wave board—built like a race board, still strong to handle all the excitement.
The all-new Carrera 5 Carbon combines our latest Race and Freewave design knowledge, fusing speed, limitless range, and ultimate comfort over extreme chop into a single shape. It is exceptionally light, responsive, and exhilarating to ride, and it will keep you out there having the most fun you’ve ever had windsurfing.
Slanted Single inserts seamlessly link the Outboard to Inboard footstraps, allowing you to tailor your stance from rail-trimming speed runs to more relaxed inboard freeriding.
Each size comes with the New MFC® Liquid Pro Fin, Footstraps, and our KT Single-to-Dual Density Pads—sloped and segmented for reduced drag, premium grip, and shock absorption.
Construction
We’ve re-engineered our build process around a continuous layering of Biaxial, Unidirectional, and Plain Weave carbon, creating a Carbon Monocoque™ that ties together mast track, stance area, rails, and bottom into one cohesive structure—free of excess patches or fillers. Combined with a full S-Glass and Hyper Skin™ full Top & Bottom Sandwich layout, the result is a lighter, stronger board—identical in quality to our Maui customs since 1994.
Speed
Fusing Speed, Limitless Range, and Ultimate Comfort into a Single Shape. An Exceptionally Light, Responsive, and Durable Ride.
- Bottom : Refined Race Bottom: A blend of V and double concaves under the mast track (Direct from our Racing boards) breaks down chop for a smoother ride. The shallower V off the tail cut-outs ensures clean water release and top-end speed. A new higher entry, paired with V and double concave through the midsection of the board, tapering to a faster, shallower V of the tail.
- Deck : Domed Deck: Keeps your feet 100% connected and offers leverage over the rails, on the straight lines, or while jibing.
- Rocker: Race Rocker Line & Cut-Outs.
- Rails : Round and forgiving at the front, tapered and sharp at the back.
- Stance : Simplified, lighter, and ready to plug and play—the Magical Bump & Jump Freeriding Geometry. Our new flatwater boards are being optimized with fewer inserts positioned at a refined angle to create more functional stance options, including positions that bridge the gap between too far in or too far out. This streamlined approach reduces perforations, making the boards lighter and stronger without losing versatility.
- Tail :Wider Tail & Parallel Rail Line: A slightly wider tail and straighter rail line further maximize planing efficiency.
- Inserts : The Carrera 5 features a single-angle insert accommodating Outboard (Advance) and Inboard (Intermediate) positions. This design allows riders to shift forward for a more centered stance or further back for increased leverage on the rail. By reducing the number of perforations and insets, we’re keeping the boards lighter, stronger, and simpler to set up while offering versatility for different riding styles and skill levels.
Compared
Carrera vs Volar
If you’re a more advanced rider craving a narrower outline that lets you rail harder, jibe more aggressively, pick the Carrera over the more forgiving and wider Volar.
Carrera vs Bolt
The Carrera offers a smoother ride over harsh chop, surf, and open-ocean crossings through its dommier deck, whereas the Bolt is a dedicated Freerace board, primarily to be ridden leveraging between the rail and the fin.
