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 slim outline in the nose area provides the feel of lightness. The centred swing weight further enhances the compact feel and the great responsiveness in manoeuvres.
In the mid-section the outline is parallel creating a big surface for early planing and stability.
Just wide enough for good planing, the narrow tail allows you to maintain control during fast runs over choppy water and – together with the thin rails – bites hard into high speed carving turns and small waves without getting stuck.

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.

Hassle-free medium to high wind freeriding, bump and jump blasting, classic freestyle, high speed carving, wave sailing..... You name it and the Freestyle Wave has it in its bag. Still as all-round as ever, these lively and versatile shapes are JP’s fastest and most manoeuvrable all-water toys.
No matter the conditions, you’ll simply have the best time on the water – easy!

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.

Tech Features
* S-glass technology
* Full Innegra Parabolic Rails
* Omega Stringer with high-density PVC and S-Glass
* Thruster fin setup
* Fin positioning scale
* Double Footstrap Plugs
* Footstrap with scale

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!

Since its inception, this line has been a magic blend of everything an advanced rider wants from their funboard. While the originals focussed on ease, the second generation turned out more agile and lively. The shapes of this 3rd generation feature significantly improved control at speed and through chop, resulting in a sporty and energetic character which is incredibly easy to handle.
Consequently, these boards ride smooth and fast. They gybe willingly and carve into and through turns with ease. They surprise being JP’s most playful and manoeuvre oriented freeride boards. The magic of these boards pushes the performance and fun factor to the next level.

The Magic Ride is the undisputed ‘Gentleman of the Turn’ in the freeride class: In gybes it feels effortless and refined even in challenging sea states. Still featuring its respected autopilot qualities, the MR requires little input from the rider and its forgivingness will pamper the intermediate rider and increase their success rate in gybes. It’s never been easier to enter the turn even at lower speeds and exit still on the plane – and planing through gybes is everybody’s desire!

At the same time its rail bite and its reliability when carving steady arcs will encourage the more advanced rider to push harder and corner with full dedication: Tighter and tighter turns, classic freestyle like duck gybes and carving 360s will be the name of the game. The Magic Ride can be quoted a bigger Freestyle Wave and is the most playful and forgiving of JP’s manoeuvre freeride boards.

The true freerider: What is astonishing about this board line is its ease and smoothness. You’ll step on it and everything will happen naturally and predictably. The feel is “familiar” – like putting on an old pair of shoes: It just fits! Relaxed and confident you’ll achieve more speed than on previous generations of freeride boards. Despite these easy-riding characteristics, performance and agility are not compromised at all. British WINDSURF once stated that the biggest surprise was its speed and that its performance is comfortable if not exceptional. The hull feels quick, lively and responsive. Planing readily, it provides traction which inspires you to push your fun and adrenaline and to let the board fly on its fin – in control!

Magic Ride 159: Longer than the other sizes, it is stable and accessible and thus the perfect board for anyone stepping down from a beginner board with daggerboard. It is specially tuned for easy, early planing! Experiencing the planing sensation and getting hooked on the feeling happens naturally.

Shape Details

You will be stunned by the light and easy handling when blasting along.

An epitome of freeriding: A state of the art synergy between easy handling and performance. This manoeuvre-oriented freeride board shines with fascinating manoeuvrability and easy carving gybes. The ease, smoothness, forgivingness and control enable incredible performance levels and improve everyone’s riding fun.
If it’s about freeriding, then here is 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.

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.

Offering huge performance potential for an experienced rider, they are super-efficient on all tracks and especially off the wind. Armed with  plenty of traction they inspire confidence to easily control high-speed flight. It is easy to exploit the full performance potential as the stance is relaxed and you are totally connected to the hull when transferring maximum sail power for more and more acceleration.

Shape Details

The shapes are based on the slalom board concept but tuned to suit the demand and physical strength of performance-oriented recreational windsurfers. As such, these Super Sports feature several elements of our Slalom line:

• Being short they feel very compact
• The parallel outline maximises the planing surface at the mast base lifting the boards onto the plane instantly.
• The centred swing weight gives great top end control.
• The deck concave around the mast base reduces the volume and lowers the pivot point of the rig for additional control.
• The bottom curve and V-flow of the Slalom boards were adjusted to improve comfort and gybing ability. This efficiently contributes to the early release, loose ride and high water position.
• The tail configuration creates on the one hand a wider outline at the tail while at the same time reducing the overall volume.
• The thinned-out rails throughout the whole board length combine comfort and efficiency. They provide tight turns and easier gybing. Exiting the turn with speed will be as easy as going fast in a straight line.
• The tail cut-outs are responsible for great release and easy trimming of the board for a fast and comfortable ride.
• The tail outline and deck shape offers great leverage for better acceleration and top end performance.

TECH FEATURES
* Parabolic Rail Reinforcement
* Integrated Innegra nose reinforcement working as nose protector
* Full bottom Paulownia wood sandwich construction and reinforcements
* Tail Cut-Outs
* Multiple Footstrap Positions
* Footstrap Scale
* G10 fin
* Approved for foiling

Overall, all these shape features make this JP’s best planing and performing Super Sport line ever. Most impressive – making them a standout in the free-race class – are the smoothness of ride, comfort and ease. Consequently, the boards can be set to top speed mode easily and maintain this high level with little effort. As a cherry on the cake, the thin rails and low tail volume make initiating gybes at this high speed very smooth.
These free-race designs feature JP‘s best balance between easy sailing and performance: Slalom speed for everyone!

The FreeFoils are amazing all-rounders: Incredibly easy for beginners to just jump-on and get their first flights. They are big enough to meet the needs of all foil novices. The boards are stable for easy uphauling, and at the same time compact enough for more advanced riders to use this board for whatever style suits them the best.

With sufficient volume and plenty of float, these boards get you up and flying in the lightest breeze.
Once airborne, the reduced swing weights offer a very stable ride without limitations, no matter whether you want to blast along, ride waves, be active in the freestyle-foil madness or join the late trend – wing foiling. Ease, manoeuvrability, and control for everybody!

Details

Foil Mount & positions:
The strong track construction is built to last and can take all the forces that foils put on a board.
The plate mount and Tuttle box fitting cover all needs and rider preferences. Being able to adjust not only the mast track, but the Foil as well, allows the rider to tune this board exactly to their own specific foiling style – and the scale helps you to find the right position for the foil, every time.

Strap positions:
The centre foot strap option with the huge adjustment range is an essential key feature and the base for control over both rails. This grants a safe feel and quick progress for newcomers to foiling as they will stay balanced easily and prevents entry level riders from losing stability in the air.
For experienced sailors the centred straps mean absolute freedom to get creative: The toy of joy offers everything for the advanced rider who wants to push his limits and take his freestyle know-how into the new world of foiling.
The manoeuvre-oriented rider will enjoy flying down smooth swell faces, or even taking it into the waves for some long, effortless flights.
The FreeFoils also come with the common outboard 4 strap setup for regular foiling. They track extremely well up and down wind and allow for a fast and efficient flight mode – ideal for all freeriders who want to use powerful foils and to sail fast.

Shape:
The board is slightly longer than comparable boards from other brands because our tests showed that with this added length, you gain noticeably more control, ease of use and effortless take-off while you only lose a tiny bit of liveliness. This is a clear advantage not only for novices but also for the average and advanced rider who will benefit from the added comfort and ease of use. Everybody who prefers or needs to ride bigger sails will specially like the more balanced feel of the longer hull.
The comfortable deck shape is also very user friendly for the strapless riders out there. It offers the most responsive feel, while at the same time being as forgiving as can be.
Being narrow enough, they allow for easy foot movement during gybes as well as transitions from rail to rail.
The voluminous rails in combination with a small bevel provide lift on occasional touch-downs for a smooth and a forgiving glide.

Trim
The insert options allow you to trim the mast base and foil closer together and quite far forward. This opens a totally new window for the advanced rider as the board gets livelier and more direct for immediate response. So, this option is especially interesting for the freestyle and wave community.

Wing Foil
For Wing Foiling, strap-less or with straps, mount the plate/wing of the foil all the way forward in the track boxes. The boards feature an elongated pad to the area where you stand when winging and for those who like to use straps, there are additional wing footstrap plugs.

TECH FEATURES
* Parabolic Rail Reinforcement
* Foil-Tuttlebox & two very long track boxes
* Wing foil option
* Carrying handle
* Footstrap Scale

Ideal for all types of freeride foiling. Whether it be just cruising along, riding strapless, riding with foot straps, wave foiling, wing surfing, teaching people how to foil behind a boat, or even freestyle, this board can do it all, and does it all REALLY WELL !
Suitable for all conditions and levels.
