JP-Australia Windsurf board Magic Wave PRO 2023

BEST IN ALLROUND WAVE CLASS

• Sizes: 68 / 75 / 82 / 89 / 95 / 105 / 115
• Discipline: Wave

Two years on the market and 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 now that it heads into season three. This all-round wave concept combines and outperforms the best characteristics of JP's previous, all-time favourite wave designs. The Magic Wave draws 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. Due to popular demand, this year, the line comes with an even smaller sibling – the Magic Wave 68.

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.
Finally an all-round board which excels in mediocre conditions but does not compromise on wave performance. JP’s most exciting introduction to the wave board market for many years.

The concept of a wider swallow tail board with an equally wide nose gave a stable base for the new board. Design team worked tirelessly developing a new rocker for this board 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. 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 followed a new path by disconnecting 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.

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 follows the same shape and design principles as its bigger brothers but, due to its size, suits lighter riders or provides more control for heavier sailors when the conditions get really gnarly.

The boards come with a set of thruster fins featuring a traditional outline and sufficient area, especially in the tip. Thus, planing and maintaining speed is easier. They are forgiving in manoeuvres and smoothen the ride. The thruster fin setup grants the widest possible range of wave use and the 5-fin box setup enables tuning to personal preferences, giving the boards greater range of use from onshore to down-the-line conditions. Plugs are provided to cover the boxes 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 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!

Features

INNEGRA PARABOLIC RAILS (IPR)

For higher durability. Resistant to impact and paint chipping. The parabolic rail construction works like a stringer along the rail. You have a better flex control during a turn and it makes the board respond quicker. The Innegra fibre is a high modulus polypropylene fibre, which guarantees excellent impact resistance and stiffness, saves weight and prevents paint chipping.

MULTI FIN SETUP WAVE

Quad, Thruster, Twinser, Single - 5 fin boxes provide all options to perfectly tune your board for all possible scenarios. Choose your individual best setup according to your style and the given conditions.

FIN ADJUSTMENT SCALE

Slotbox with scale to position the fin - trimming made easy!

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.

Technology

JP introduced this proven S-glass technology for wave boards back in 2014.
High-quality glass (1,10), S-Glass (2,4,7,11,13) and Biax Glass replace various carbon materials and combinations.
S-glass has a very high tensile strength and is less brittle than carbon. Thus, it is lighter, more durable and more forgiving than carbon: On the wave, riders prefer the smooth feel of these flexy board compared to stiff carbon models.
It features high-density PVC sandwich layers (3,8) in deck and bottom. The large Omega stringers (4) in the same material are reinforced with S-glass.
Technology details are the full Innegra rail reinforcement (12), various stringers, the Parabolic Rail band (6) and a Quadraxial fibre construction (9) in the full standing area.
Wave PROs come with moulded carbon rear fin/s!
