The WindSurfing magazine passed the verdict, “… infallible riding comfort, a versatility to adapt to rider abilities and genuinely accessible performance …” What more could any freerider want?

And ‘accessible performance’ is, what sets this board apart from other freeride boards: the combination of user-friendliness is inextricably linked to performance in every aspect of freeriding. So, it really is fast and at the same time easy to control. In fact, it will be faster than the Super Sport for all riders who don’t wish to sail overpowered or don’t have the ability or physical strength to muscle down big sails and commit to a locked-in stance.

The slim hull contributes to the board’s smoothness – be it on downwind runs at top pace or in high-speed manoeuvres. Being narrower throughout than the Super Sport, especially in the tail, makes it easier to rail-up the board and carve through high speed gybes. When pushing the rail harder, it bites more aggressively, adapting the radius according to the changing demands of the rider.

This is also the main difference from the Magic Ride: the Super Ride is faster – comfortably – and the narrower hull makes it feel smother when carved into gybes at higher speeds.

Shape details

The long, wide hull creates a big planing surface. As a result, it was possible to keep the rails thin throughout the whole length which provides optimal grip once the rail is set. Together with the ergonomic deck shape, the rail also makes for a super comfortable stance in every strap position. And no matter whether you chose the inboard or outboard option, it is always easy to get into and out of the foot straps.

The tail is wide and rounded, providing a big planing surface. The curved tail outline makes all kinds of gybes easy and staying on the plane throughout the gybe comes naturally.

Be it high speed carves or super tight turns – every rider will push his limits and nail more gybes than ever before.

The scoop rocker line and V flow come from our Slalom board range. The Super Ride has a high, loose water position and gives you the confidence of stability when speeding over chop.

The 3 big models are from the second shape generation and are not only available in Wood Pro but also in ES technology. They are slightly longer than their predecessors in order to get going easily – especially for passive early planing. Their overall width enlarges the planing surface and improves stability.

Extremely quick to get planing and reaching top speed, the Magic Wave pops over white water effortlessly and jumps extremely high. It offers both front and back foot wave riding possibilities, gaining speed and control from the advanced rocker shape, beautiful rails and wide, thin, ultra-high performance swallow tail.
Confidence, speed, comfort and grip on the wave all combine into a board that feels carvy and loose on the wave face, while still offering the essential speed needed for more onshore conditions.
This all-round board excels in mediocre conditions and does not compromise on wave performance.

The concept of a wider swallow tail board with an equally wide nose provided the stable base for developing its special rocker that is extremely fast without being too stiff on the wave. The very fast, early planing Wave Slate and the multiple award winning Freestyle Wave were good benchmarks during the development process. The new Magic Wave equals or betters the Wave Slate in early planing, low end, top speed, versatility and looseness on the wave. And its planing performance comes close that of the Freestyle Wave.

Shaper Werner Gnigler disconnected the centre scoop rocker line from the rail line. So, the traditionally known rocker along the centre does not exist anymore in the tail area. Werner combined V and concaves along the bottom which created a curvy rail line and resulted in the magic combination of fast, early planing boards with outstanding manoeuvrability.

The more parallel rail outline that we gain from the wider nose and tail really helps with early planing and keeping speed through white water. It also is easier to keep as much speed as possible through the bottom turn in onshore conditions and side-shore alike. You can use a smaller sail and feel less overpowered with this new design which makes wave riding and jumping feel much more comfortable and controllable.

Jumping is easy on this board because the wide nose and tail give more lift when hitting the wave, so you automatically jump a little bit higher. When you come down to land forward and backwards rotating moves, you have more board under your feet and at the nose which makes for a more forgiving landing.

The small 68 suits lighter riders or provides more control for heavier sailors when the conditions get really gnarly.

The boards now come with 3 Slotboxes. The set of thruster fins feature a traditional outline and sufficient area, especially in the tip. Thus, planing and maintaining speed is easy. The fins are forgiving in manoeuvres and smoothen the ride. The thruster fin setup grants the widest possible range of wave use.

JP’s greatest all-round wave design still performs at its best in onshore jumping and wave riding. The Magic Wave jumps higher and rides small to medium sized waves better than the Ultimate Wave but it doesn’t stop there. It holds its own in far bigger waves than you would expect, meaning that you can really choose 1 board for 90% of wave conditions and will almost never be under-gunned in big surf or lacking performance in small surf. Get out and try yourself.
Feel the MAGIC!

Another board in the JP line. Why did we come up with this board? What are its benefits?
Here is how the idea was born:

We have all been there: You have driven hundreds of kilometres South to escape the winter and find a mild spring breeze. You get to the coast and there are some little waves but the wind is extremely light. The Freestyle Wave doesn’t quite cut it as the wind is too light and your freeride board is fun but you’re just blasting in and out and not able to make much out of the little waves on offer.

Presenting you: The Magic Move!!

We needed a board aimed at these specific conditions and the design brief to shaper Werner Gnigler was simple: ‘Develop a new board covering the gap between the Freestyle Wave and the freeride class.’

Right from the beginning Werner had a clear vision of how to make this reality: “I wanted to use the Freestyle Waves as my starting point and adapt a few parameters to achieve the desired improvements.” Here they are…

Shape details:
Compared to our Freestyle Wave line the Magic Moves are slightly longer, wider and equipped with a noticeably wider tail with additional volume. The outline in the mid-section of the board is kept rather parallel, offering a wide planing surface. This in combination with the even volume distribution makes the shapes very stable when non-planing and lifts the rider onto the plane effortlessly with almost no pumping needed.

A unique design feature of these boards is the refined new rail shape: Lifting the apex point along the midsection towards the nose creates the extra required lift. This helps tremendously to maintain speed during the gybe and exit with speed.
