JP-Australia are a well known brand in the SUP world. And after taking an in depth look at the JP-Australia iSUP constructions last year, this year we look at the boards themselves to help you understand who they're best suited for.
JP-Australia have 4 different types of construction – SUPERIOR EDITION 3DS (SE 3DS), LIGHT EDITION 3DS (LE 3DS), LIGHT EDITION (LE) and SUPERLIGHT (SL). And within those constructions JP have 31 iSUPs to choose from!
Because they’ve made these boards in a wide range of constructions it does mean there’s a good range of price points and boards to suit paddlers of different weights and abilities.
Everyone paddles for different reasons, so we hope this video helps you understand which board best suits you.

I’ve recently bought the Surf air 9.7 but not had chance to try it in waves yet due to the unpredictability of the UK summer. I understand you intend doing a full review of the board in the future? I’d be interested to know what you think of the board’s stiffness. I can’t decide whether its the soft, springy deckpad which is giving the perceived lack of stiffness. Then again, it could just be me, although I’m really light at 65kg. It’d be nice to see some front and backside bottom and top turns, cutbacks and floaters etc, to see… Read more »
Hey Michael . Yes I have a full SUPboarder Pro test coming up in September. I have used probably all the best surfing iSUPs on the market so will be about reflecting on this and put the new JP board in the mix too.
Hi Reuben, when in September will it be ?
Its next on my list. Just need fo swell.
Hi Michael, I’m waiting for the JP Australia Surfair 2021 test as well, need it for my decision to buy it for the next oversea surfing holiday. Maybe you can help me out as well as i’m keen to know if this board fits in a suitcase (luggage) for airtravel ?
Regards, Marc
Im on it. trying to get into it very very soon.
The seem falls off the JP all round board. Its just not nearly well enough made for its use. I wouldn’t waste your money on JP paddle boards.
I did get a cheap one from a random website and its just a much better made bit of kit.
Hey Rory, Thanks for letting us know your feedback about your board. We have always been very impressed with the JP boards and heard good things from our readers until now!. What board and year was this?
This sounds like a straight warranty.
Thanks Reuben
