We present the JP Australia Magic Ride 2026.

Magic Ride

Powerful boards that do everything you’d expect from a freeride board—and they do it with exceptional ease and flair!

They feel playful and compact, sit high in the water, and deliver the lively, sporty feel that makes windsurfing so exciting. They’re fast, yet super easy to sail and control. These wide and thin boards plane ePlanely and are a blast to jibe. Their jibing potential impresses riders of all skill levels!

Since the first generation, this line has been a magical blend of everything an experienced rider wants in a funboard. While the originals focused on lightness, the second generation became more agile and lively. The third-generation shapes offer significantly improved control at speed and in chop, resulting in a sporty, energetic character that’s incredibly easy to handle.

The result: The boards ride smoothly and fast, jibe effortlessly, and carve through turns with ease. They stand out as JP’s most playful and agile freeride boards. The magic of these boards takes performance and the fun factor to the next level.

The Magic Ride is the undisputed “Gentleman of the Turn” in the freeride class: It feels effortless and smooth during jibes, even in challenging conditions on the water. Thanks to its renowned “autopilot” qualities, the board requires little input from the rider, which is especially beneficial for beginners and intermediate riders and significantly increases their chances of success when jibing. It’s never been easier to initiate a turn even at low speeds and still come out back on the Plane—and planing jibes are every freerider’s dream!

At the same time, the rail bite and reliability when carving motivate advanced riders to push even harder and execute tighter turns. Classic freestyle jibes like duck jibes or carving 360s become a playground for your skills. The Magic Ride can be seen as a larger freestyle wave board, and it’s the most playful and forgiving of JP’s maneuver-oriented freeride boards.

The true freerider: What’s impressive about this line is its lightness and smoothness. You step on board, and everything happens naturally and predictably. The feel is familiar—like a pair of old shoes that just fit. Relaxed and confident, you’ll reach higher speeds than on previous freeride generations. Despite its easy handling, performance and agility aren’t compromised in any way. British WINDSURF praised the speed as the biggest surprise and described the riding experience as comfortable, if not exceptional. The hull feels lively, fast, and responsive. It planes willingly, offers grip, and inspires you to push the limits of fun and adrenaline and fly the board on the fin—all under control!

The Magic Ride 159 is longer than the other sizes, stable, and accessible—perfect for anyone moving up from a beginner board with a daggerboard. It’s specifically tuned for light, early planing. The planing sensation comes completely naturally and is addictive.
