We present the JP Australia Freestyle Wave PRO 2025.
A L L - I N - O N E
The search for versatility ends right here! These JP boards have always been the true classics in the freestyle wave class because - super balanced - they are incredible fun in the widest possible water and wind range. The current generation of these all-round boards is no exception and offers a compact feel and fast reactions in maneuvers. In addition, the boards not only ride faster, but also feel more comfortable than their predecessors. They combine the essential features that almost every windsurfer is looking for and really fulfill all the requirements of an all-in-one board!
Werner Gnigler on his best line of all-round boards: "The proportions of width, length and volume have proven themselves, are decisively responsible for the easy handling and the perfect balance between all disciplines ... and the curve in the underwater hull makes it special."
Shape details:
The slim outline in the bow area conveys a feeling of lightness. The centered swing weight reinforces the compact feel and improves maneuverability. In the middle section, the outline is parallel, creating a large area for early planing and stability. Just wide enough for good planing, the narrow tail increases control when riding fast over choppy water and - together with the narrow edges - it bites hard when carving and in small waves without getting stuck.
The deck shape creates a comfortable position for all footstrap positions and ensures perfect control and excellent responsiveness. The thruster fin box setup in combination with the centered footstrap option allows for maximum maneuverability. Alternatively, the outer footstrap option is best suited to a single fin setup and is the best freeride solution.
Important shape details:
The front part of the board features a significant V combined with double concaves that make riding super comfortable and effortless. Starting between the footstraps and towards the tail, the V is less pronounced, which results in more rocker along the edge and makes the edges taper off slim. These are responsible for the excellent maneuverability and grip in the turns and further improve the wave characteristics of these boards. The rocker has been reduced along the center, which not only increases the performance in full throttle mode(or "when heating up"), but also results in a more comfortable position due to the free and at the same time stable water position.
The 124 L version is proportionally slightly longer with a slightly wider tail to meet the needs of the target group in light winds. A perfectly balanced board with a wide range of use and also the most versatile and maneuverable JP board in this volume range. A real crowd favorite!
The boards are manufactured using JP's lightweight and extremely robust Carbon Innegra technology.
All Freestyle Waves have a thruster fin setup: The standard power box and two side slot boxes with their covers in case the side fins are not used. The main fin is made of G10 and the side fins are made of Carbon.
It has already been said and needs to be emphasized again: The Freestyle Wave concept is the ideal option for 99% of coastal recreational windsurfers. The Freestyle Wave offers so many set-up options that it can be perfectly adjusted for every day, regardless of the conditions. As a high wind board, it is ideal for heating and bump & jump action. It also shines as a powerful all-round waveboard for lighter winds, heavier surfers or difficult conditions and is especially fun for big jumps and fast carves in side to side onshore conditions.
Uncomplicated freeriding in medium to strong winds, bump & jump blasting, classic freestyle, high-speed carving, wave riding... the Freestyle Wave can do it all. Regardless of the conditions, you will simply have the best time on the water!
TEAMRIDER NOTES:
Robby Swift: "I use these boards every year on photo shoots and am always surprised at how early it planes and how quickly it reaches top speeds. The boards feel similar to the Magic Wave that I know well and love, with better tracking, earlier planing and higher top speed. Ideal for bump and jump when the waves aren't particularly powerful and great for flat water and freestyle maneuvers. 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 this time I went through different generations of prototypes until I finally found the magic formula. When I tested the latest versions in Tenerife, I immediately sensed that this concept was outstanding: the ride feel and performance at both ends of the range, wave and freeride, were impressive. There was no question about putting these shapes into production!"
Sven Feuer: "Fast, agile, free: this edition of the Freestyle Wave accelerates faster, reaches high top speeds and reacts with great agility in any kind of maneuver. I recommend this board to anyone looking for a powerful but controllable board. In every way, this board is a great evolution compared to the previous version."
