The delivery includes the board itself, the pull-out daggerboard, the Powerbox fin (Fun 34), and four foot straps. The board does not have a windsurf mast plug, so it is designed for beginner rigs with a mast base.

Is the JP Funster 2026 also suitable for heavier beginners?

Yes, especially the 240-liter model is optimally suited for heavier riders thanks to its enormous width, voluminous rails, and high directional stability. The 200 model also offers very good tracking and is ideal for medium to heavy beginners.
