SLALOM

FAST!

Control and top speed – that’s what it’s all about when you want to be on the podium. The three Slalom boards –62.5, 72 and 85– are designed for blasting at PWA competition speed. Also, lighter riders will remain in control even when fully overpowered enabling them to get up to top speed. The 85 provides great planing power in light conditions. And the smallest 55 has proven its qualities on speed slalom tracks like the Defi Wind.

The 3 bigger shapes offer an improved, more locked and stable riding position. Far less effort is required to reach and maintain top speed and all of them provide great early planing power and a wide range of use. The tails of these boards are wide and provide lots of leverage towards the fin, resulting in more power and control.

The smooth deck shape guarantees a super comfortable stance. The rider preserves energy to push his limits on longer runs.
All sizes feature an additional pad wedge between the tail straps providing a more connected feel.

Each board size features a unique tail cut-out configuration to find the perfect mix of release and lengthy rail line for control.

THE SHAPE

Six core design elements guarantee the perfect set-up for PWA racing:

DUAL TAIL OUTLINES – individually adjusted to each board size. The cut-out configuration of the bottom outline reduces the wetted surface and creates multiple release points for low drag and high speed. The deck outline over the cut-outs is wider and due to the further outboard rear strap position the rider can load more power onto the fin for more control and speed.

TRANSFORMING VEE FLOW along the bottom – the Vee is strongly pronounced in front of the mast base, decreasing between the foot straps and opening again towards the tail. Thus, the board rides high and loose, ironing out all the chop. The transforming V results in a curvy rail line which makes gybing smoother and helps to exit the turn at full speed.

COMPACT CONCEPT – The parallel outline in the mid-section of the board maximizes the planing surface at the mast base, lifting the boards onto the plane instantly.

THIN PROFILE – in the nose area reduces drag since this is the part which is affected most by the wind. This, in combination with a sunken deck, means we managed to keep the swing weight centred for great top end control.

DECK SHAPES – Stance
A tiny but essential fine-tuning of one of the key advantages of the previous models: The more comfortable deck shape guarantees a relaxed ride, allowing the rider to focus on going faster and faster.

DECK SHAPES – Efficiency
The board features the proven concave deck reducing swing weight and now comes with an additional recess for the deck box, dropping the pivot point of the mast base. As a result, the sail foot seals the gap between the board and sail providing ultimate efficiency as well as additional control when pushing the limits and during the gybe.

The 55 and 62.5 come with the normal Tuttlebox. The 72 and 85 feature JP’s specially reinforced Foil-Tuttlebox.

KEY FEATURES - 

> Approved for foiling - reinforced, stronger box construction for Foil-Tuttlebox and Foil-Powerbox: big recess on the deck and big washers. 

> Parabolic rail reinforcements - 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.

> Double Footstrap Plugs - Four screws per strap = 100% anti-twist! No annoying twist anymore.

> Footstrap scale -Your friends and family constantly take your board and change the size of your footstraps? No problem anymore! JP's Footstrap scale allows easy adjustment to the foot size.

PRO CONSTRUCTION - 

Biax-Carbon is the stiffest material providing the rigid and solid feel pro riders want to transfer every tiny bit of sail energy into forward momentum.
Technology details are the full Biax-Carbon deck, high-density PVC sandwich layers  in deck and bottom, reinforcements in the rail, heel and standing area.
Equipped with the JP Foil-Tuttlebox (except Slalom 55 & 62.5).
