FAQ

What foiling disciplines is the JP Australia RS 2026 suitable for?

The JP Australia RS 2026 is a true all-round foil board and covers several disciplines: wing foiling, downwind foiling, para-winging and prone foiling. Its versatile design adapts to your riding style and the respective conditions.

What construction does the JP Australia RS 2026 PRO model have?

The PRO version of the RS 2026 features a full sandwich deck and a bottom made of high-density PVC, reinforced with Innegra rails. Recessed blocks made of high-density material on the rails ensure an extremely stiff yet lightweight connection between the board and the foil.

What volumes and sizes are available for the RS 2026?

The JP Australia RS 2026 is available in three volume levels: 65 liters (166 cm length), 80 liters (173 cm length) and 95 liters (181 cm length). This means you will find the right size for your skill level and body weight.

How do you start with the RS 2026 in light wind?

Thanks to its smooth planing and pulled-in nose, the RS 2026 effortlessly gets you on the foil even in light wind. The concave deck shape in the standing area keeps you firmly connected to the foil and ensures a more direct, responsive feel.

What features do the new foil tracks offer on the RS 2020?

The new foil tracks feature large openings that allow for easy foil mounting: You slide the plate nuts directly on the foil into the track, push them into position and tighten the screws. A position scale on the deck EVA pad helps you to always find the exact foil position again.

Is the RS 2026 also suitable for beginners in wing foiling?

Yes, the RS 2026 is designed so that you can feel like a pro without having to be one. The PRO construction with maximum standing area thanks to angular deck rails, an EVA pad with a corduroy texture for good grip and the stable outline make it easy to handle even for ambitious beginners.

Which foils and wings are recommended for the RS 2026?

JP Australia recommends the NeilPryde Glide Swift Carbon and Glide Swift Aluminum foils with an 85 cm mast, as well as the NeilPryde FLY IV Pro wing. Thanks to the two US track boxes, many common foils with a surf plate adapter can be mounted and individually trimmed.

What footstrap options does the JP Australia RS 2026 offer?

The RS 2026 offers several footstrap positions, covering V-shape, centered and offset stances. This allows you to ride the board in your preferred position, regardless of whether you are freeride-oriented or riding more aggressively.
