FREESTYLE WINDSURF

Our JP freestyle team had a great start to the 2019 PWA season with Julien Mas beating the 2018 World Champion and Amado Vrieswijk taking the first event title of the year in impressive style. This reflects the efficiency of the boards: Impressive, high scoring moves require fast rotations. Therefore, all the swing weight is centred close to the mast base and turning point of the board. Due to the compact setup the riders stand close to the rig in a very comfortable stance. This is very important not only for big moves but also for sailing in regular stance or when going switch. Our riders love the board’s high water position and looser ride. The V-flow in the bottom creates enormous lift underfoot and offers high top speed and instant pop.

They are stable wide platforms to cover the biggest possible range. The centred volume distribution is the basis of all our Freestyle boards. The outline is deliberately parallel in the mid-section to maximize the planing surface. The round outline towards the tail improves manoeuvrability and provides unmatched pop not just for your first jump but also for your following air moves performed during combination manoeuvres.

The sharp tuck line running from the tail to the mast area increases grip and drive allowing you to reach maximum speed instantly. Towards the nose a super soft tuck line offers an easy transition from aerial manoeuvres into sliding tricks by stopping the rail from catching.

Ready for foil action! The big news this season is that the boards now come with a reinforced Foil-Powerbox! So if you were inspired by all the crazy foil-freestyle action on social media, or you just fancy cruising around on the foil while the wind picks up enough to freestyle with a normal fin, you can now go wild with the 2020 Freestyle boards!

These compact Freestyle boards accelerate superbly for powerful jumps. The reduced length of the shapes enhances handling in all moves and speeds up all rotations. The lively and direct feel inspires confidence so that amateurs and pros alike will pull-off more moves in greater style.

FOIL APPROVED FIN BOXES - Now, the Freestyle and Magic Ride PRO also feature a reinforced Foil-Powerbox! (Ø 8mm bolt hole to avoid drilling for the NP Powerbox foil adapter).

What our riders say

Robby Swift: “This has been one of my favorite boards since all the way back in 2003 when I won my first PWA Freestyle event on the Freestyle Wave of that year. It was a great board for Super-X and I have also used it in onshore wave events (on Sylt and in Klitmøller) over its various editions. This year, the board is shorter and more compact and it feels great both in a straight line and in small bump and jump conditions. It’s always a favorite of my clinic guests as it is so versatile and easy to use.” 

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. If you are not sure which board line would suit you best, then you don’t need to look any further. 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 then is great fun especially for huge jumps and fast carves in side to side onshore conditions.

The direct feel derives from the reduced swing weight of the short, compact shape. The outline is parallel in the mid-section which offers a long straight area for early planing and stability. The tail is relatively narrow to maintain control on fast runs over choppy water. The FSW is agile, quick to respond and its rails bite hard into small waves without getting stuck.

The domed deck grants a comfortable stance for all foot strap positions. The deck shape also provides perfect board control and excellent responsiveness.

Offering all the traditional Freestyle Wave virtues in a new compact package that is more agile and even more fun on the water. They are fast, super comfortable and give you the confidence to push to the board’s limits. Suited for freestyle small waves and bump and jump blasting, they love to carve fast, drawn-out turns in all waters, flatwater, chop and waves. They cover it all and are simply the best JP Freestyle Waves – ever!
