**JP Ultimate Wave 2025

This year, the standout detail is our groundbreaking S-TEC technology, introduced for the first time in the JP lineup. The weight saving is impressive: This generation of Ultimate Wave boards is about 500 grams or more lighter! This is achieved through several key changes:

* No paint

* Reduction of anti-slip, used only in standing areas

* Reduction of UV-paint

* Smaller pads – less EVA and less glue

* Elimination of the rear centre fin box

* Refined custom lamination process, with fibres prepared and laminated separately

The durability maintained at the proven level by replacing the Innegra material with more high-quality S-glass, combined with Biax-Carbon reinforcements and UD Carbon layers underneath the high density PVC. Additionally, the bottom laminate no longer stops at the tuck line but wraps around the rail. Together with the overlapping deck laminate, it acts as an additional stringer along the rails, providing more rigidity and strengthening the rail simultaneously.
This not only creates a totally new look, but being half kilogram or more lighter delivers a new riding sensation!

The weight-saving design involves minimal use of UV-resistant paint, which may lead to slightly different shades of colours in certain areas over time.

The ultimate windsurfing experience is riding clean waves down-the-line, which is the core purpose these boards are designed for. Each generation of our pure-wave boards has been refined to enhance this experience, and the previous lines were already masterpieces in this respect, earning titles on the IWT Wave tour and dominating the Aloha Classic over recent years. However, the current boards are even better, and we expect them to be even more successful in competitions. But whether you win or not, these boards are guaranteed to deliver an incredible ride and enhance your wave-sailing abilities. So, serious wave riders, get ready to up your performance and get even more out of everything from mediocre to epic conditions.

The positive feedback from riders using their Magic Wave on the world tour was instrumental in the development of these Ultimate Waves.

We aimed to bring some of that liveliness and agility to our down-the-line boards, creating an even more engaged and reliable ride so advanced wave sailors can push their limits further.

Shaper Werner Gnigler achieved this by blending the Magic Wave swallow tail with the Ultimate Wave nose. The result is a board that allows you to go more vertical and hit lips with greater confidence and control. These hybrid boards are fun to ride and incredibly controllable, regardless of wave height.

One of the most essential features of this shape is the straight centre scoop rocker line, paired with a lot more bottom curve along the rails. Werner combines this with an interesting Vee transformation that starts with a moderate Vee in the nose area, changes to a single concave between the straps, and finishes off with a slight Vee at the tail. This results in easy early planing and instant pace, allowing you to ride waves with more speed, confidence, control, and a noticeably more radical style.

The smooth outline and thin, soft rails finish off into a refined swallow tail – a must have feature on this kind of board for maximum grip in high speed turns and ultimate acceleration carving tight turns in smaller surf.

The fin box and standing positions are slightly further back compared to previous models, giving riders the ability to adjust their turns at any time with either front or back foot pressure. This allows for greater control and manoeuvrability on the wave, letting riders truly unleash their skills and creativity from small to giant surf.

QUAD FIN BOXES / NO FINS:
Efficient and economical: In 2025 the boards come with four short slot boxes for the quad setup. The boxes for the side fins are even shorter for better performance. The rarely used alternative centre box was omitted for cost and weight reasons.
Most riders who are interested in a dedicated wave board already have their own favourite wave fins and do not need additional ones. Therefore, the boards are delivered without fins, which also helps to keep the costs low.
