JP HydroFoil Slalom S-TEC

Performance Wind-Foil Slalom Competition

FOIL PERFECTION

Unbelievable! Foiling faster and faster! JP’s fastest foilboards have become 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, 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, especially minimizing drag and improving control in the air. To achieve this, the boards have a flat nose scoop, thin rails in the front, and a slightly domed deck at the nose to optimize airflow. The deck shape in the standing area is flat, with raised pads that extend beyond the rail, providing consistent leverage on the foil. Only the main competition size, the 85, now comes in a completely new shape.

Weight optimization is particularly important for performance boards. That's why the new and groundbreaking S-TEC construction is also used for JP's race boards. The estimated average weight saving of the S-TEC for the HydroFoil Slalom is up to 0.3 kilos. Considering that the previous boards were already extremely light, any additional weight reduction is impressive!
