The hunt for versatility stops right here! JPs have always been the true classics in the Freestyle Wave class because they are super balanced and incredible fun in the widest possible wind and water range.

FULLDESCRIPTION

JPs have always been the true classics in the Freestyle Wave class because they are super balanced and incredible fun in the widest possible wind and water range. And the current generation of all-water toys is no exception, providing a compact feel and quick response in manoeuvres. As an additional treat they not only sail faster but at the same time feel more comfortable than all their predecessors. Uniting the core virtues almost every windsurfer is looking for, they truly tick all the boxes as all–in–one boards!

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. Its 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 JPs fastest and most manoeuvrable all-water toys.

No matter the conditions, youll simply have the best time on the water easy!

TEAM RIDER TALK:

Robby Swift: I use these boards every year in the photoshoot and I am always surprised with the amazing early planing and almost instant arrival at top speed. The boards have a similar feel to the Magic Wave which I know well and love and are just a little more directional and faster to get planing, with a higher top speed. Ideal for bump and jump when the waves arent very powerful and great for flat water blasting and power freestyle moves. They jump so high and make even the most mediocre conditions fun.

Werner Gnigler: The development process of this generation took four years and during these years, I went through various generations of protos until I finally came up with the magic formula. Testing the latest versions in Tenerife I immediately felt that this concept was outstanding: The riding sensation and performance on both ends of its range, Wave and Freeride, was impressive. There was no question about putting these shapes in production!

Jules Denel: I was really surprised when I tried this board at the photoshoot. Crazy planing start and easy jumping because you hit the wave at full speed. Also in the wave –even with the big central fin– I was feeling really comfortable. Is not as radical as a dedicated wave board for sure but I was real surprised how well the board behaves when ridingwaves!

Sven Feuer: Fast, agile, free:

This latest edition of the Freestyle Wave accelerates quicker, reaches high top speeds and reacts with great agility in any kind of manoeuvre. I recommend this board to those of you who are looking for a high performing but at the same time controllable board. In every aspect this board is a great further development compared to the previous version.
