Recommendations for care

PERFORMANCE FOILING AT EASE JP’s HydroFoils were one of the very first specialised boards for foiling and they were trendsetters right from the start of the foil revolution. The overall range of use and the all-round appeal of the first two generations made them extremely popular and successful on the market. These two shapes of the third generation can best be summarized as user-friendly scaled-down versions of the 'HydroFoil Slalom' models. The 133 and 155 represent JP’s most balanced mix of user-friendliness combined with top foil performance. They are very efficient and fast, super comfortable to ride and so easy to ride and control that in 2022 the pros sailed them in competitions when conditions got hairy.

Wind-Foil Performance

JP’s HydroFoil machines were one of the very first specialised boards for foiling and they were trendsetters right from the start of the foil revolution. The overall range of use and the all-round appeal of the first two generations made them extremely popular and successful on the market. These two shapes of the third generation can best be summarized as user-friendly scaled-down versions of the 'HydroFoil Slalom' models. The 133 and 155 represent JP’s most balanced mix of user-friendliness combined with top foil performance. They are very efficient and fast, super comfortable to ride and easy to ride. The predecessors were already great and only full-on race designs challenged their performance. But the success and the improved feel of JP’s performance foil race boards was undeniable and shaper Werner Gnigler wanted to transfer these benefits to the recreational foil class, getting rid of all superfluous volume and width. As a result, the HydroFoils are super comfortable and easy to sail. In fact, their ease is the key to their success and the base for the incredible speed. Compare it to regular windsurfing, the same connection exists between the pure performance and the freerace class: once the Slalom boards get substantially better or faster, these advantages are transferred into the freerace shapes, the Super Sports. Shaper Werner Gnigler states: “We remained true to our concept, offering a pure foil board. I kept my focus on making fast foiling easy and accessible, but still extremely exciting. Hence, I improved stability, comfort and control because –once airborne– these are the prerequisites for a fast run on all tracks.”

Shape details
The boards are narrow featuring proven proportions and dimensions. The main advantages: The shortness keeps the swing weight low for control and the balanced feel. In the air, the compact hulls provide the feeling of total control and dominance over the foil. The even distribution of volume offers great stability and helps to lift off early. As a bonus, the volume in the nose provides sufficient float for uphauling on these short boards. The forward section, the rounded rails with a defined tuck line feature slightly more volume for easier uphauling and are forgiving as they provide less drag on occasional touch-downs. They don’t slow down but instantly bounce-off the water, getting you up and flying again in an instant. In the footstrap area, the deck comes with a slight dome. As a result, the ankle is not overstretched when leaning outboard in order to push and tilt the hull, and it is easier to get in and out of the straps. You feel totally connected to the board with great leverage over the foil which allows you to push your performance and fully exploit the power of the sail. Not only you can ‘ride’ but really ‘work’ the foil due to the perfect stance.

The cut-outs are very large. The benefit: Less volume and area allow you to sink the tail when pumping and loading up the foil. This results in an easy and instant take off as well as reduced drag on occasional touch-downs. The thin profile limits drag once airborne and creates as little resistance as possible, which is very important when you are flying because strong gusts don’t affect the trim of the board. Your flight will be very stable and balanced.

133: The third generation of the shape that started the foil hype for JP: It is still the most all-round size, covering a very wide wind range. It suits most rider weights and levels and works great with all sail sizes except the very biggest and smallest ones. The perfect one-for-all size for most sailors.

155: Originally, this size was designed for foil races. Compared to pure performance boards, the volume and dimensions are reduced to the necessary maximum. It is the downsized, “freerace”, easy-handling and fun version. It also has a wide range but is especially targeted for light wind spots when used by big sailors or with big sails. Thanks to the bigger 6-hole foot strap plug, you can adapt your stap position to a wider variety of foil sizes.

Of course they come with JP’s reinforced Foil-Tuttlebox.

Wood Pro Technology

This new Wood Pro technology draws on proven experiences from the past and features a blend between lightness and durability.
Technology details are the integrated Innegra nose reinforcement (1) working as nose protector, the Parabolic Rail Band (3) and a Rail reinforcement band (9), bottom stringers (12,13) and a Quadraxial fibre construction in the full standing area (Biax Glass 4, Paulownia Wood 5, Glass 6,7). The sustainable, fast-growing Paulownia Wood (11) is used as reinforcement in the full bottom and a high-density PVC sandwich layer (8) is used as reinforcement in the full deck. Additionally, exclusively high-quality glass (14-18) is used.

JP’s most affordable ‘freeride technology’ comes with large areas of reinforcements in the deck made out of sustainable, fast-growing Paulownia Wood (5), integrated Biax-Glass nose reinforcement (1), Epoxy Glass Micro Sandwich (7,9) in deck and bottom, rail reinforcements (10) and deck stringer (2).

Tech Features

Parabolic Rail Reinforcement

For high durability: The parabolic rail reinforcements work like a stringer along the rail and are resistant to impact and paint chipping and increase the stiffness.

Surfboard care: How to make your board last longer

A surfboard is more than just a piece of sports equipment - it's a loyal companion. To enjoy your board for a long time, proper care is essential. Here are our top tips:

1. Sun protection for your board

Shade is key: Direct sunlight causes colors to fade and can yellow the board. Always keep your board in the shade when you are not using it.
Board bag as a protective shield: A board bag protects your board from sun, sand and scratches.

2. Operating the Airscrew

Always operate the Airscrew according to the manufacturer's instructions!

3. Sand and salt - the natural enemies of your board

Rinse after surfing: Rinse your board thoroughly with fresh water after each session to remove salt and sand.
Don't forget to dry it: Dry your board thoroughly before packing it in the board bag to avoid damaging the paintwork (Osmosis and discoloration).

4. Maintaining your board bag

Drying is important: A damp board bag can lead to rust on the zippers and mold formation. Always let it dry well after transport.
Clean regularly: Remove sand and salt from the board bag regularly.

5. Repair damage

Quick reaction: If damage occurs, you should act quickly. Dry the area and repair it as soon as possible.
Regular inspection: Check your board for new damage after every session.

6. Winter storage

Dry and cool: Store your board in a dry and cool place, protected from frost.
Padding: To avoid pressure points, place your board on soft surfaces.

Additional tips:

Carry correctly: Always carry your board with the nose facing forward to protect the sensitive tail region.
Professional help: For major repairs, you should consult an experienced shaper.

Why is proper care so important?

Longer lifespan: A well-maintained board lasts longer and retains its value.
Optimal performance: A clean and well-maintained board offers you a better riding experience.
Environmentally friendly: With proper care, you can extend the lifespan of your board and thus conserve resources.

With a little care, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your surfboard. Follow these simple tips and enjoy many more waves!
