JP-Australia have been involved in SUP foiling since 2019. Their first foil board back then, was the board that got us into many foil disciplines. This year sees JP-Australia's range of boards grow, which is great for all abilities and all foil riding styles.
This year JP-Australia has 5 foil SUP based boards in their range, which we are going to talk about in this video. The new X Foil and X Winger are the boards that many of you have been talking about and will be interested in. But by JP also keeping their original Foil board and newer Foil Slate in their range they’ve ensured all rider weights and abilities are catered for, allowing paddlers to get out in the surf more with their foils aswell as keep up their traditional SUP surfing.
JP-Australia sister brand Neil Pryde have also tweaked their Glide range of foils too, to offer more performance. We have been playing around with the Surf Glide 19 which did get us up during our light 12knts winging sessions.

This vid was for me too much advertorial.
Reason, there are simply no comparisons with other brands and very little cons on each product.
2th,you try to push too many products in 1 vid.
The Pryde foils are mentioned overall pretty short while I think they deserve more attention. I have tried the HP1500 and IMO it performs as good as foils costing double the money.
Hey Jeroen . you know what I do agree with you. There was too much in this video. We should of drop the Neil Rryde foil section out and focused more on boards. The problem with these videos is there is so much info to get in with too much gear.
Thanks for your comment we will focus on making sure our quality level stays up.
Thanks again Reuben
Belated question as these boards now well discounted – longer narrower boards now popular for winging as well as the option of sup foiling on them as well. I’m a beginner about 8 sessions in, often in sea with some chop and just beginning to get on foil for short time. My question is – would a 28 / 28.5” wide board eg X foil pro 6’6 be stable enough for me? I’m currently on a pretty enormous rocket air 7’2 x 34 which is quite hard to unstick… I have a bit of sup experience on a 33” wide… Read more »
Hey Rory. Sorry for the delay on getting back to you. We still believe that boards like this are good and will get you on the water. What body weight are you?

You will find it a big jump down in sizes at the start but this would be a good board size to use when you get the feel of it. A wider board will always be easier to stand on and use but prob best if you are 90kg and over. Any… Read more »
Yes – I think so – sounds like I might do best to consolidate for a bit longer on the big board before adding difficulty..
Yeah jumping down too early is only going to slow your progression.
