We present the JP Australia Super Lightwind 2026.

No Foil? With almost no other board can you get up and planing as early and as effortlessly as with the JP Super Lightwind.

Since its introduction in 2011, it has stood almost unrivaled as one of the very few true light-wind boards on the market. It takes off in almost no wind and reaches top speed immediately. At the same time, it rides incredibly comfortably, smoothly, and super easily for its size.
This is JP’s fifth generation of this unique board design, and like its predecessors, it benefits from shape developments in slalom and super-sport boards, as well as from HydroFoil performance boards. This makes it JP’s hottest toy for all light-wind days, whether you ride the board with a fin or a Foil.
You have to try it to believe just how much fun you can have in almost no wind. Light-wind blasting!

The number one priority in Werner Gnigler’s design brief was to combine outstanding early planing with an electrifying feel and a super-easy ride.
To achieve this, the outline is long. This creates a balanced curve for a smooth and effortless transition from non-planing to planing.

Another benefit is that you benefit from a comfortable, parallel stance, with power distributed evenly from both legs onto the edge. For a board of this size, the shape feels small and lively underfoot, yet it’s much easier to control than earlier models. That’s definitely a highlight of this shape.

Just how easy it rides and how well it handles is also evident when jibing. Not only does the outline ensure good maneuverability, but the thin and smoothly shaped edge—especially at the rear—allows for perfect posture and comfort in all footstrap positions, making it ideal for fin and Foil.

The concave deck lowers the pivot point of the mast foot, reduces swing weight, and provides extra control when you’re pushing the limits or carving. The sail foot sits lower, naturally closing the gap between the sail and the board. This further boosts light-wind efficiency.

The hull features a “Transforming Vee Flow”: at the front, in front of the maBaseplate, it’s strongly pronounced for a smooth ride and low-friction touchdowns; between the footstraps, it flattens out and opens up again toward the tail. As a result, the board rides high and loose and smooths out chop. The Transforming V creates a curvy rail line, which makes jibes smoother and helps you come out of the jibe at full speed.

Large cutouts provide the perfect mix of early release and a long rail line for control with the fin. They make the rails in the tail thinner. This lets you easily edge the board at high speeds and carve through the jibe. When foiling, they also give you extra flex and help load the wings for takeoff.

You don’t need a Foil to have fun with this board in super light winds. But if you want to give it a try, JP’s Foil Tuttlebox turns it into a real Foil machine. The volume and size not only get you airborne super early, but the width also gives you the leverage to control the Foil lift when the wind picks up and things get faster.
