TOP TO BOTTOM PERFECTION

The JP-Australia Surf range is designed for the “no-compromise”, top to bottom performance in the proper surf conditions for riders of all sizes. The whole Surf line has unique features: single to double concave flowing into a V tail, pulled in nose and tail, progressive rocker line and thin rails.

All of the boards come with a 5 fin setup option and 3 fins. The whole range comes with FCS plugs, and the boxes positioned for the center fin allow the rider to choose 2 different fin positions.

Fins:

Center Thruster – Resin Transfer Molded + 2x Side Thruster – Resin Transfer Molded

THEY LOVE THE WAVES

The combination of a surf board outline, subtly curved rocker line and generous volume thinned out on the rails through a step deck is a winning concept that fuses glide and stability with great surfing characteristic. The bottom shapes feature concaves throughout running into a V towards the tail. The V in the tail helps to rail up when going down a wave.

Their noses create efficient lift and the thinned out rails produce good bite during turns. The 10’2” and the 10’8” are also available as a Soft Deck version and come in a single fin option while all the other sizes come with a thruster set-up. The Fusions have a really good glide and are happy in flat water paddling, but they love the waves.

CLASSIC PERFORMANCE

The Longboard line is a full-on surf performance-oriented. All four sizes feature a very subtle step deck and a nicely pulled in tail. The narrow tail, in combination with a V, makes them very loose and responsive. A flat deck curve gives the rider confidence when paddling and the stability needed to cross the breaking waves. The smooth bottom curve provides good glide and, in combination with the increasing tail kick, easy rail to rail transition.

The Longboards have an amazing range of use. They work great for beginners to experts, from first paddle strokes to hanging ten!

TOUR & SURF

The subtle displacement bow flowing into a double concave bottom with soft thin rails and narrow tail provide a combination of good glide, stability and solid surfing characteristic. The Hybrids feature a long efficient water line offering a superior paddling sensation on flat water with the longboard type of tail for easy rail to rail transfers in the surf.

Take the Hybrid for a tour or a downwind run and check out the waves on your way back. Bring along your necessities under the bungee tie downs for a great day on the water.

LIGHTNING FAST AND FLYING HIGH

The Foil Slate is a great shape made for SUP surfing, SUP foiling, wingsurfing, wingfoiling, windsurfing and windfoiling! Stable, fast and reactive are the main strengths of the Foil Slates. Use the extra speed to glide across flat sections of the wave or to hit the lip with full power. The bottom shape features a V entry that flows into a deep single concave ending with a subtle V right at the center fin position. This ensures smooth lift and an easy rail-to-rail transfer.

RUNNING SILENT

Super stable parallel outline and the sharp displacement bow ensure an effortless and silent glide. Apart from standard fittings like multiple bungee tie downs, FCS nose plugs for GoPro or the JP standard windsurfing option, the Outback comes with cooler tie-down inserts, inserts for the JP Fishing Rack (sold separately) and a very special and unique storage system: the Light Capsule! The most versatile board out there just received two new siblings. Discover the new worlds with the amazing night paddling feature of the Outbacks!

The Light Capsule has a transparent bottom that lets you put in a flashlight of your choice for an amazing night paddling sensation! You can, of course, use it to store car keys, your favorite drink or even tackle bait. The boards feature the fully padded nose for a comfortable ride of your kid or your dog. Paddle out and kick back – the Outback!

THE MISSING LINK

This is the board you can take to most of the races where you don’t know for sure what conditions you can expect: from downwind bumps to flatwater calmness. The rocker line of the Allwater shape fit right in between the Downwind and the Flatwater shape. The concave throughout the standing area maximize the stability and create a long flat rocker line section. The fin has a forward placed position for maximum maneuverability.

All the 2020 Race PRO boards feature a full PVC sandwich deck and rails for maximum in durability and lightweight.

ALL NEW

Size: 14'0" x 24.5"

A brand new Downwind shape is available in 2020. A deep dugout standing position for maximum stability and four drain pipes for keeping the cockpit dry. The dedicated downwind shape has an increased scoop rocker line compared to the Allwater shape for maximizing the glide time on a bump. The standing position is low and the volume is generous. This Downwind shape will cater for all levels and weights of the Downwind paddling enthusiasts.

NO COMPROMISES

The Flatwater Race boards feature a dugout standing area for maximum stability. This has allowed us to go as narrow as 21.5”. The volume of the sidewalls will bounce you back in balance even if you are challenged by some chop. The high walls in the front will direct the water from entering and the drain pipes will clear the standing area of any water that might have gotten in. The smooth transition from deep standing area to the thick tail ensures easy movement towards the tail for pivot turning. The narrow nose transforms smoothly into a single concave bottom extending all the way to the tail. This creates a long water line resulting in great linear glide and directional stability.

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

The Heritage’s flat bottom provides a comfortable and stable ride, with just enough vee to make turning a breeze.

Constructed using a light weight EPS core wrapped in multiple layers of fibreglass and bamboo, with Kevlar wrapped rails for added strength and durability.

OVERVIEW

The Surf Wide line provides all the features of a full-on performance shaped surf paddleboard with the comfort of the added width. The thin rails hold the turn smoothly and the slightly flatter rocker line generates a lot of speed. Last year we have updated the two smaller sizes and this year we followed up with the updated shapes for the 8’8” and the 9’3”. The entire line features slightly pulled in nose and a squash tail for a quicker release. The stability combined with unbelievable turning potential is still the main characteristic of this progressive shape concept. The PRO boards have 3 FCS center fin plugs in addition to the standard quad set-up. Try them in a Thruster set up for the bigger days or even as a Nubster set up. The boards come with a quad fin set.

The JP Race Flatwater Leaves No Compromises

For 2017 we have further developed the entire Race board range. With great input from our international and national race paddlers we have developed two sizes of dedicated flat water shapes for “no compromise” performance in the flat to moderate choppy conditions. The 23” version will best suit racers with up to 85kg while the 25” one will suit racers up to 105kg. The main feature we were trying to achieve is the low standing position without the dug-out cockpits. Werner was able to achieve this by thinning out of the standing position and redistributing the necessary volume to the tail and the nose of the board. Keeping these longitudinal transitions smooth for uncluttered deck movement was as important as keeping the lateral shape streamlined for any side wind effect. The nose rocker was raised slightly to allow a more neutral glide sensation. The narrow nose transforms smoothly into a single concave bottom extending all the way to the tail. This creates a long water line resulting in great linear glide and directional stability. The tail became wider and furnished with more volume. This also dramatically improves stability especially at pivot turning. You get the most of every paddle stroke that gives you the winning edge!
