Looking at buying a FSW 85 2010 - have previously had 83 JP Wave, anyone tried the new FSW, back in adelaide sailing off metro coast after a stint in WA.

All I can say is try RRD FSW.....i just bought a 2010 fsw and its fantastic and $500 cheaper

so are the RRD's for $1900 then??
Sorry havn't tried the 85 fsw.

no but the jp boards are around 3,000....
are you in WA?

last i checked, 2999-500=2499 and 2699-500=2199, not 1900. But you should know that, don't you work for a shop that sells jp?

the JP Full woods are $2399
The JP Pro editions are $2999

Compare apples with apples construction wise.
thus 2399 - 500 = 1899

the rrd is an all glass board "faux edition", similar in construction to the JP full wood, the jp pro has a carbon kevlar deck and full double bias carbon bottom.

my boards are $1890 brand new,

thats not what the windsurfing perth website says... RRP is $2699 for the FWS, don't you work for them? sunshine coast sailboards also has $2699.

besides that thou, the '010 JP FSW's seem really light if the website is too be believed, I think the FSW's are about 200g lighter across the board. As are the waves.

yes the wood construction boards underwent a change, in particular they now have a limited winish where the wood grain is visable through the paint. Most weight would have been saved there i would guess. Also all the JPs are shorter= lighter.
