Freestyle Re-Designed

Our all-new range of Freestyle boards, developed in collaboration with JP's freestyle experts Yentel Caers and Sam Esteve, takes the sport to new heights. Thanks to extensive refinement and reshaping, our event winning shapes are now shorter, more responsive, and more radical than ever before, allowing riders to spin, rotate, and pop with unparalleled speed and precision. Despite their increased liveliness, these boards still offer the early planing and speed potential of their predecessors, thanks to their flat scoop rocker line. Plus, subtle tail revisions provide a more powerful pop for multiple rotations and more impressive freestyle moves all-round.
 
At JP, we've always been at the forefront of freestyle board design, working closely with our team riders to push the limits and set new trends in the sport. Our latest shapes are no exception, with a relentless focus on enhancing new school freestyle potential while maintaining our high standards of overall ride and performance. With these new boards, you can be sure that you're getting the very best in freestyle technology, backed by years of experience and a dedication to excellence that's second to none.

 
Success in modern freestyle depends on double power moves, so we focused our development on speed during pop in order to make triple moves the next standard. To achieve this, shaper Werner Gnigler has made the boards slightly shorter, which reduces swing weight and improves response speed during pop. This makes sliding moves and aerial spins faster and more controlled, bringing triple moves well within the boards’ range. Although shorter than previous JP shapes, the new boards are still longer than many other models on the market, ensuring accessible all-around performance in all conditions.
 

The flat scoop rocker line generates the lift needed for early planing and high-speed performance.

The deck's dome is now crucial in ensuring riding stability not just in a regular stance but also when riding switch. As most moves are now executed in switch stance, the board design must accommodate this additional task. The subtle dome is the perfect balance between pushing for performance while still maintaining stability during moves.
 
The newly designed tail provides a balance between width and thickness, giving ample flotation while allowing the rider to sink it for a powerful take-off.

The bottom shape of the new boards features a defined V from the mast base forward, which is combined with a soft tuck line. This combination supports a smooth ride and forgiveness during sliding moves.

We incorporate a flat V bottom shape towards the tail, along with a pronounced tuck line. This combination offers exceptional grip, immediate power, and a high-riding water position, while also providing a loose feel to the board.

 

The boards come with double footstrap plugs for maximum control.

More than just conventional freestyle boards, all sizes come with JP’s reinforced Foil-Powerbox and their compact and wide shapes make them ideal toys for foil riding! This widens the range of use of your “small” gear: Just mount a foil and fly – while other freestylers with their normal fins are stuck on the beach waiting for the wind to pick up. JP’s short Freestyle boards provide enough ease and stability to pick up this new segment of our sport quite easily. Advanced foil freestylers can push their limits and pull-off their first crazy moves at the EFPT “foilstyle” events.
Although not specially designed and tuned for it, the shape dimensions also allow for the use of a wing.

 

JP’s three new Freestyle boards are ultra versatile and can be used in a wide range of conditions, from fun freshwater events to hardcore PWA and EFPT freestyle events on the sea. With their shorter and more compact shapes, they are more responsive and spin faster, making them great for both recreational and professional sailors. Overall, these boards provide a complete and enjoyable package for all skill levels.


RIDER TALK :


Yentel Caers:
It isn’t easy to improve a product when having one of the best boards on the market. We put the main focus on improving new-school freestyle tricks without losing control or performance in sliding moves. Sam and me both love double power moves. So, we wanted to have faster reaction speeds during pop, making triple moves our next standard. The board got slightly shorter which helps to spin faster in the air and when sliding on the water. For my feeling, this is the best board I had so far: Great in pure flatwater freestyle and still having so much control in choppy conditions. The perfect balance in between speed, sliding, control and pop. With the volume in the right place, the boards even planes earlier. Overall, the best freestyle board.

 

Sam Esteve:
I love JP’s new Freestyle because it offers an exceptional combination of performance and versatility. Its new tail shape makes the board faster and allows me to keep speed when ducking and on switch stance. Its rounder nose helps to maintain control during sliding moves and to keep up the energy required for multiple pops. This is the board that allows me to push my limits with confidence and serenity.
My favourite setup is the 4.0 sail with the 85L board in strong winds and on flat water.
The compact shape makes for an excellent planing start and a smooth glide.
The JP Freestyle is the ultimate board for those who want to push their limits, whether aiming for big combos or just starting out with freestyle tricks.
