Incredible! Faster and faster foil flying! JP's fastest foil boards just got even faster – again! This year the most important performance-enhancing feature of all these boards is their construction: S-TEC gives the boards a new and completely different look and makes the already very light boards even lighter! The boards take-off earlier and are easier to control in the air.

The range has been streamlined to the core sizes: 80, 85 and 88. The main focus has been on efficiency, specifically minimizing resistance and enhancing control in the air. To achieve this, the boards feature a flat nose scoop, a thin rails in the front, and a slightly domed deck at the nose to optimize the airflow. The deck shape in the standing area is flat, with raised pads that extend above the rail, providing consistent leverage towards the foil. Only the main competition size, the 85, now comes in a completely new shape. 

Durability remains at the proven level as all important reinforcements remain unchanged and especially through the use of Biax-Carbon. Only items that have no relevance for strength and durability are reduced or abandoned.

The other essential contribution to weight saving comes from the optimized lamination process which not only creates a totally new look, but making the boards up to 300 grams lighter this year and contributes to improved performance.

What a great feature for all HydroFoil Slalom boards!

A distinctive feature of S-TEC technology is the unique pattern resulting from making the composite layers visible. A natural feature is the occurrence of spotty areas of resin and the interconnecting lines of individual layers. By resigning from additional layers of varnish, the board gains absolutely minimal weight.
