24 Magic Wave PRO

BEST IN ALLROUND WAVE CLASS

The board has clearly earned its reputation as one of the hottest all-rounders. It saw excellent test reports worldwide and – even more importantly – the word of mouth from impressed owners has made it an enormous success since its introduction. And the demand of this board does not show any signs of slowing down. This all-round wave concept combines and outperforms the best characteristics of our previous, all-time favourite JP wave designs. The Magic Wave drew from the speed of the Thruster Quad, versatility of the Wave Slates, ease of sailing of the Real World Waves. It also offers incredible speed and confidence on the wave, matching the performance of the Ultimate wave in most conditions, even in waves up to and over mast high.

 

Extremely quick to get planing and reaching top speed, the Magic Wave pops over white water effortlessly and jumps extremely high. It offers both front and back foot wave riding possibilities, gaining speed and control from the advanced rocker shape, beautiful rails and wide, thin, ultra-high performance swallow tail.
Confidence, speed, comfort and grip on the wave all combine into a board that feels carvy and loose on the wave face, while still offering the essential speed needed for more onshore conditions.
This all-round board excels in mediocre conditions and does not compromise on wave performance.
 
The concept of a wider swallow tail board with an equally wide nose provided the stable base for developing its special rocker that is extremely fast without being too stiff on the wave. The very fast, early planing Wave Slate and the multiple award winning Freestyle Wave were good benchmarks during the development process. The new Magic Wave equals or betters the Wave Slate in early planing, low end, top speed, versatility and looseness on the wave. And its planing performance comes close that of the Freestyle Wave.

Shaper Werner Gnigler disconnected the centre scoop rocker line from the rail line. So, the traditionally known rocker along the centre does not exist anymore in the tail area. Werner combined V and concaves along the bottom which created a curvy rail line and resulted in the magic combination of fast, early planing boards with outstanding manoeuvrability.
 
The more parallel rail outline that we gain from the wider nose and tail really helps with early planing and keeping speed through white water. It also is easier to keep as much speed as possible through the bottom turn in onshore conditions and side-shore alike. You can use a smaller sail and feel less overpowered with this new design which makes wave riding and jumping feel much more comfortable and controllable.

Jumping is easy on this board because the wide nose and tail give more lift when hitting the wave, so you automatically jump a little bit higher. When you come down to land forward and backwards rotating moves, you have more board under your feet and at the nose which makes for a more forgiving landing.
 
The small 68 suits lighter riders or provides more control for heavier sailors when the conditions get really gnarly.

The boards now come with 3 Slotboxes. The set of thruster fins feature a traditional outline and sufficient area, especially in the tip. Thus, planing and maintaining speed is easy. The fins are forgiving in manoeuvres and smoothen the ride. The thruster fin setup grants the widest possible range of wave use. Plugs are provided to cover the side fin boxes when not used.

JP’s greatest all-round wave design still performs at its best in onshore jumping and wave riding. The Magic Wave jumps higher and rides small to medium sized waves better than the Ultimate Wave but it doesn’t stop there. It holds its own in far bigger waves than you would expect, meaning that you can really choose 1 board for 90% of wave conditions and will almost never be under-gunned in big surf or lacking performance in small surf. Get out and try yourself.
Feel the MAGIC!

TEAM RIDER TALK:

Robby Swift, “The Magic Wave is my board of choice for about 90% of the conditions I sail in and I really can’t say enough good things about this board. We spent years developing the shape in order to create an “all-round” wave board that does not compromise in wave riding. This was crucial for me as I needed a really fast board to be able to use in side and onshore PWA wave competitions and wave riding is such an important part of competition that the board had to perform extremely well on the wave as well. I absolutely love the versatility of these boards as I can use them from Sylt to Ho’okipa. From straight onshore with light winds to windy side shore conditions, they feel great everywhere. As soon as I step onto the board, I feel like I can reach top speed in seconds and this really helps me to jump as high as possible, especially when the waves are close together and I have to punch through white-water and get going again quickly. The wider nose and tail help to gain extra height in jumps and give me more margin for error when landing aerials, goiters and 360s. All in all, it’s the board I recommend to most people as it’s so much fun to sail in so many different conditions.”

 


Morgan Noireaux:
"The Magic Wave continues to be my go to board when conditions are a bit tricky and I want to make sure I'm moving around and always having fun. I love how quick it is and how easily it gets planing. This makes it the perfect board for when the conditions are a bit tougher. If the wind is onshore or the waves are messy I'm not using anything else. The extra speed makes it a fantastic board for jumping but it also happens to turn really well though, so, it's a board that can be used in all conditions. It's super easy to use and I always have a good session when I use this board."

Jules Denel: “The Magic Wave is a board which is very good in side-off conditions. But it is top when the wind is more onshore and wave quality in not perfect. It gives you the power that you need, an amazing planing potential and keeps the speed between gust as well as in between two waves. It bottom-turns really easy especially when you have chop on the wave face. It is forgiving, feeling as if it would auto-correct when you do some mistakes.“
