THE LIGHTEST BOARDS ON THE MARKET THAT COME WITH A DECK PAD
For 2015 we have some new features to our well known SURF and SURF WIDE BODY range. Apart from the fresh graphic redesign that keeps the recognizable image of the JP-Australia boards we have a few completely new shapes and a new technology.
The very popular SURF 8’6″x29″ is a completely new board with a more radical outline, narrow nose and progressive rocker shape that was proven to be a winner with the smaller sizes like the 8’0″ and the 8’2″.
The whole range is based on radical surf board designs adapted and adjusted for the needs of SUP. Each size has a specific bottom shape concept suited to the size. They are equipped with a narrower nose section, higher entry and extra rocker for real surf board feeling. The more pulled-in pointy nose section does not limit the rider in radical bottom turns as its combination with the fast scoop rocker line develops heaps of drive. Thin smooth rails slice effortless through the water surface and provide amazing grip. This in combination with the accelerating tail kick gives the boards an incredible loose ride. Our unique fin angle concept has proved to be unmatched when it comes down to speed necessary for either catching waves or busting aerials.
New for 2015 are the fins. In the PRO line the boards come with a full set of Resin Transfer Molded fins.
Another novelty to the SURF range is the 8’10″x30″ which is now available in AST construction as well as in the standard Wood and the PRO edition.
The whole range comes with an FCS plug in the nose to attach your GoPro camera. All boards come with a thruster setup and also feature a mastfoot insert to attach a windsurf rig and are great windsurfing wave boards.
The PRO layup of our SURF and SURF WIDE BODY boards has no carbon as we believe that carbon makes the boards too stiff for the surf. We have kept a natural flex pattern with strategic dual density sandwich layup and optimizing of the fiber direction. Importantly, our PRO boards are the lightest boards on the market that come with a deck pad.
