December 2006 - JP Australia Announce Slalom III - The Latest Range Ready For Racing In 2007
As most regular sailors will be aware windsurfing legend Micah Buzianis joined the NP/JP team around this time last year with the sole intention of bringing home the world tour slalom crown.
After a successful season notching up plenty of wins on the existing slalom board series; Micah & JP designer Werner Gnigler set about working on a new generation of boards to further increase speed, control and easy handling. Introduce JP Slalom III...
This brand new range of boards are due to be available early in the new year offering riders plenty of time to prep up ready for racing! Enquire here.
A fair few notable changes have been introduced in this ground-up development! All of the shapes are longer than before to increase ease when turning.
The volume placement has changed with the nose and centre area being really thinned-out. The rails are also thinner. All up this makes for an easier on water experience so more top speed is possible.
With a more constant deck dome in the standing area the straps can be moved slightly further inside to make for easier manoeuvres whilst being still being comfortable to ride even when driving hard.
Each board has adjusted tail cut-outs - smaller boards require a longer rail line so the cut-out has been reduced (removed altogether on the 69l model). The wider tailed larger boards need to ride free over the water with perfect release so the cut-out is increased.
New to the range is the super small 69 - not only a terrific high wind slalom option but great speed too!
