That's interesting what you think of the 2010 jp FSW I know of a 2010 JP 102 as a give away price and in mint condition is 102 the same as the 92 shape just bigger?

JP catalogues in pdf format for all years are available online. Just Google 'JP Australia 2010'

I own now, a 2010 JP FSW Board 112 litre , my weight 75 kg.
I bought this board for float and ride, + 15,to 18 knt b& jump. Works great.
If you weigh 80 kilos, then the 102 using ,a 5m up to 6.2
will be the goods.
,93, ltr for 4.7 to 5.7 is perfect.
102 ltr won't be as fast as the 93, but a, very competitive board, if the price is right. $500, $ 600 bucks ,your on a winner.
For that price or cheaper, buy it, don't suit, sell it.
Enough said.
Peace out Nerdy.

My experience is 10 liter difference on the same board in sizes, is NO guarantee it will have the same character.
Tabou 3 in near all sizes felt different.

I luv my ol' JP FSW 91L. (2005 I think) It maxes out at about 30+ knots in flat water so felt like I outgrew it but is so forgiving in the rough stuff that you don't have to hold back. I dusted it off a couple of weeks ago in big NE'rs at Port Stephens and used the 27cm fin. It was loose and fast and perfect for the 25 knot rough conditions with wind against tide. I use 6.7 and 5.2 NP hellcats and select slalom 31 along with original 27 dolphin fin. It's getting a bit soft on deck so will have to upgrade to make sure I've something to sail when rough and windy.

95 or 105 tabou rocket, pretty fast nice in chop , even had my 105 out at Lancelin in the waves , it jumps well ,

I missed this before, the 95 would be better. Good call Tardy.

I've had 33,5 knots out of mine .(105litre ).and it was not that flat , ...i know a guy got 38 knots on a 95 litre .
great boards in chop .and fast freeride boards .

What size and type fin did you use Tardy when you hit 33.5 knots? And guess was us box ?

I have a older 09 92 litre JP done 35 today 33 yesterday with a 4.7 ezzy wave sail but have done more with a little 5.0 full cam sail. Had a old select 24 weedwave in it.
They are a keeper board.

From what I heard (not tried oneyet), this should be also a great option: patrik-windsurf.com/f-wave/

That's impressive Jimbob with the JP someone selling a I have now picked up a 2014 103 kode to give that a blast only drawback with the kode is it's us box so none of my fast fins will fit
Someone local is selling a JP 98 FSW but sure what year it is but graphics look same as yours.

Hi nerdy ,no rockets are power box ,I had a 32 fin ,and 6,0 no-cam cheetah .

I have a 2020 Kode 95l, supplied with the 28cm fin. Goes like a rocket with 4.7-5.7 sails. Want to use be able to use it with my biggest sail every now and the 6.8 RRD fire. Any idea how big fin size it can take for the lighter wind days? was considering buying a 30-32 if that's enough. Anyone tried larger than the manufacturers recommended fin size on the kode?

+1 for Kode 94 but my 105 FOX is quicker

+1 2020 Kode but mine is a 85 lt (that's my big board). Such an all rounder. I have the manufacturers supplied fin in it (28) and everyone says that's a big looking fin for that wind strength (35+kts), but it doesn't seem to effect the board, still is under control. Haven't tried a bigger fin in it but it's seems so brut force it could handle anything!

I have a Patrik Fride 100 and a Tabou Rocket 95. The Fride has a very flat rocker goes very quick when set up with straps outboard and an upright fin, and then has the versatility to go in the waves. I had the 86 which had tail rocker so not nearly as quick.

If it's lumpy and really high wind the Rocket is absolutely my go to board, the extra control due to concaves makes it faster.
