General features of this new performance HydroFoil design:

• The key is the new rail shape !

First of all, it features clearly sharper rails along the whole hull with no more bevels in the nose – for maximum lift and planing efficiency.
The sharp rails push the board up in flight mode after occasional touchdowns.

Secondly, it provides the perfect stance, a connected and stable feel to the board: It is the base to make use of all the power coming from the foil and sail.

• Compact dimensions keep the swing weight low.

• The aerodynamic profile of the short hull reduces drag while airborne.

• New, big tail cut-outs allow the rider to sink the tail while pumping and load up the foil, resulting in easy and instant takeoff.

• It comes with the super stable JP Foil Box to handle all loads and an additional centre foot pad with an arch to offer additional grip and guided foot placing during gybing and takeoff.

• This board is equipped with longer, 6 single hole foot strap plugs.
The single hole plugs make moving and adjusting the foot strap position between races quicker. This strap tuning will be essential when swaping foil sizes or fuselages in changing wind conditions.
The longer plugs provide a wider range of adjustment. 

HYDROFOIL SLALOM

This new board is based on the successful design of the HydroFoil 150 – not the 175 as you might expect simply because its purpose is slalom and not course racing.
Consequently, it comes with a rounded outline, in contrast to the squarish look of the 175 from 2019.
Obviously, its shape was adapted to fit the new slalom-foil format and the lower wind limit as well as today’s big and efficient foils. It will not only be the weapon of choice of the PWA racer but it will also be a stunning light wind board for every sporty foil sailor.

• High overall volume of 176 L – especially in the tail – and sharper rails get the riders airborne sooner and easier. They instantly push the board back up on the foil after occasional touchdowns in which they barely slow down.

• Outline and stance are adapted to the higher reaching speeds (now that it is not anymore about pure up and down wind courses). Compared to the 150 this new board is wider in the nose and tail, however, the maximum width is still 91 cm. Accordingly, the tail straps are further outboard. This all helps to control the high foil lift at faster pace on reaches.

The super-fast slalom foil machine ! 

Performance, power and control for competition!

FREEFOIL

FOIL ALL-ROUNDER FOR ALL

JP’s unique foil all-rounder ! Apparently the market has been waiting eagerly for this concept as the sales started brilliantly. These very compact shapes have little to no limitations regarding the range of use and suit the whole windsurf foil community because fun is their main target. Everybody will be able to enjoy foiling as easily as possible – in every aspect of this new discipline. Slightly longer that comparable designs on the market, they offer more ease and accessibility. And now, novelties upgrade this line: Specially adapted to wing foiling, the boards now feature an elongated pad and additional footstrap plugs further forward. The brand-new, small model, the 105, suits lighter riders and everybody who wants a more playful and nimble toy. The board to enjoy foil fun – easy!

The Foil Slates also have long track boxes for added windsurf foiling option.

Shape Details

The steady nose rocker combined with a soft tuck line and bevels in the front make for a smooth and forgiving entry once the nose comes down on the water. This is essential, as many beginners tend to nosedive. The noses don’t dig into the water but will bounce back off the water and you will keep flying.

The V-angled nose bevels clear the rail from touching the water when pushing down the windward rail – especially when sailing upwind. This way, the board can be tilted and more power applied to the foil for more acceleration and speed.

The flat deck shape and the ideally positioned footstraps make for an upright stance to control the power of the foil.

Volume and width help to lift the boards out of the water early.

The tail cut-outs reduce the volume in the tail. These cut outs also make it easier to get flying earlier by being able to push the wide tail down easily and ‘pump the foil’ during take-off.

105 and 120:
Very short, lively and exciting, they are the right tools to explore new boundaries of the sport – for higher winds, small sails and advanced riders. No limitations: Free your mind, be innovative, these shapes will take you there. Compared to the big boards, the compact boards with narrower outlines offer a more centred stance and very responsive fun feel!

135:
The shape that started it all is now renewed: all the latest foil shape features, like the very pronounced V and V-angled bevels in the nose area, make foiling easier and more accessible for everyone. The cut-outs are re-designed to pump the board instantly onto the foil and fly. The tail is wider and the straps further outboard for more control and power over the foil. This size is well-known for being all-round, almost universal, as it covers a very wide wind and range as well as it suits most rider weights and levels.

150:
Originally designed for the first PWA foil races, today the 150 can be seen as most efficient and very fast lightwind foil board. It suits heavy weights and everybody who needs to use very big sails. Compared to the latest super-wide race developments, it can be pumped onto the foil with less effort and has more freeride appeal as it is way easier to sail – especially across the wind. The additional set of inboard straps aids control when flying over chop on deep downwind courses.

All of the HydroFoil shapes take into consideration the different riding position compared to windsurfing with a fin and also the aerodynamic behaviour of the boards. They are adjusted to make flying over water easy, accessible, fast and fun for everyone.
And the key to this is the perfect balance, stability and great leverage towards the foil.

For the leverage, the compact designs feature a wide tail and parallel outline which helps you to control, balance and work the lift of the foil. The shortness keeps the swing weights to a minimum.

The thin profile limits the drag once airborne and creates as little resistance as possible, which is very important when you are flying because strong gusts don’t affect the stability. Your flight will be very stable and balanced.

All HydroFoil boards come with a special, reinforced Tuttle-Foilbox.

Performance and balance and power. At the same time easy to fly and good fun to use!
