ALL WATER ALL-ROUNDER
ALL-IN-ONE
JPs are considered the epitome of versatility in the Freestyle Wave category due to their exceptional balance and enjoyable performance in various wind and water conditions. This latest generation continues this trend, with a compact design and responsive handling during maneuvers. Additionally, they boast an increased speed and comfort compared to previous models, making them the ultimate all-in-one choice for windsurfers seeking top-notch performance.
The design brief for Werner Gnigler was as simple as it gets: Just make them better without sacrificing in any segment. A very tricky task when you are asked to improve our already market-leading all-rounders but with the development of the Magic Wave in his pocket, our shaper already had a pretty clear idea what to do. Werner: “I planned to maintain the proven proportions of width, length and volume as they are key to overall ease and let us offer the perfect balance between all disciplines. The major change I had in mind was that I wanted to re-work the bottom curve…”
Shape details:
The sleek design in the front of the board creates a sense of weightlessness. The centered weight distribution adds to the compact feel and improves maneuverability. The parallel middle section provides a large surface area for quick planing and stability. The narrow tail allows for easy control and the thin rails provide a strong grip for high-speed turns and small waves without any slippage.
The deck shape creates a comfortable stance for all foot strap positions, providing perfect board control and excellent responsiveness.
The thruster fin box setup in combination with the inboard strap option is the perfect tuning for maximum manoeuvrability. Alternatively, the outboard strap position matches best with a single fin setup and offers the best freeride solution.
Essential shape details
The front section of the board features a significant Vee combined with double concaves making the board super comfortable and effortless to sail.
Starting between the straps and towards the tail, the Vee becomes less pronounced resulting in a very curvy rail line and thinned out rails. This is responsible for the outstanding manoeuvrability and grip during turns and further improves the wave heritage of these boards.
The rocker was reduced along the centre, not only boosting the performance level in blasting mode but also resulting in a more comfortable stance due to the loose and stable water position of the new shapes.
Coming with an almost identical layup as the Freestyle boards, the FSWs feature a Carbon Innegra deck! (also see technology)
All Freestyle Waves come with thruster fin boxes: The main Powerbox and two side Slotboxes and covers. This year, the boards no longer feature the Foil-Powerbox.
The main fin comes in G10 material featuring a lot of area at the tip, a curvy outline and a smooth swept back rake angle. Thus, the fin provides a lot of drive and a secure, steady ride in combination with outstanding manoeuvrability.
The 124 L version is proportionally slightly longer with a slightly wider tail to fit the needs of the target group in lighter winds. A perfectly balanced board with a huge range of use and on top of this, it is the most manoeuvrable and versatile JP board in this volume range. A real crowd pleaser!
It has been said before and has to be pointed out again: The Freestyle Wave concept is the ideal option for 99% of coastal-sailing recreational windsurfers. The Freestyle Wave offers so many tuning options that it can be set up perfectly for any given day, no matter what the conditions. It’s an ideal all-round high wind board for both, blasting and bump & jump sailing. It also shines as a powerful, all-round wave board for lighter winds, heavier sailors or difficult conditions and is great fun especially for huge jumps and fast carves in side to side onshore conditions.
