I was luck enough to score one of these recently.
Great quality finish as I have come to expect from JP windsurf boards




For the GoPro crew. FCS nose mount is standard

Front footstrap anyone?





Got out on the weekend with surf up to chest/head high.
All I can say is WOW. Fully stoked. This board turns so easily on the wave.
Great to paddle through confused/choppy water (I think the thickness has something to do with this. It seems to be less thick than other SUP's so you are closer to the water and hence more stable).
I had just come off a 9'2" x 29.5" which was thicker than the JP. The extra 2" of width is also a factor, but this board was so much more user friendly.
Not ideal for the beginner wave warrior, but if you have a bit of experience and want to move to the sub 10' class then this could well be the board for you.
There are also a few smaller models:-
Surf 8'10"x30"
Surf 9'3"x30"

Yup, lots of rocker + wide + thin = the winning combination for stability in surf conditions! (more volume can be detrimental once you have enough to float)
