FAQ

Who is the JP HydroFoil 2025 suitable for?

The JP HydroFoil 2025 is aimed at ambitious foilers looking for a balanced mix of user-friendliness and sporty performance. The third generation of this JP Foil line has been designed to be easy to ride and control for both advanced riders and beginners in wind foiling.

What sizes and constructions are available for the JP HydroFoil?

The JP HydroFoil 2025 is available in two volumes (133 L and 155 L) as well as in two constructions: Wood Pro with a Paulownia wood sandwich and Epoxy Sandwich (ES). Both versions have a length of 215 cm, a width of 84 cm (133 L) or 89 cm (155 L), and a foil tuttle box.

What sail size is suitable for the JP HydroFoil 2025?

The recommended sail size is between 4.5 and 9.6 m², depending on the volume and construction. The 133 L Wood Pro is designed for 4.5 to 8.6 m², while the 155 L Wood Pro is for 5.0 to 9.6 m². This allows the board to be used in a wide range of wind conditions.

How much does the JP HydroFoil weigh?

The 133 L Wood Pro weighs 8.4 kg, while the 155 L Wood Pro weighs 8.9 kg. The ES version is slightly heavier at 9.6 kg (133 L) and 10.1 kg (155 L), but more affordable. The low weight of the Wood Pro makes handling and transport easier.

What features distinguish the JP HydroFoil Wood Pro?

The Wood Pro version offers parabolic rail reinforcement, an integrated Innegra nose reinforcement as a nose protector, a full Paulownia wood sandwich bottom, large tail cutouts, multiple foot strap positions with a foot strap scale, and a foil tuttle box. This equipment ensures robustness and durability.

Does the JP HydroFoil require a separate fin?

The JP HydroFoil 2025 is designed as a pure foil board and is ridden without a fin. The wind foil (e.g., a JP/NeilPryde Flight Foil) is mounted via the integrated foil tuttle box. The board is the ideal platform for tuttle foil systems.

What conditions and areas are suitable for the JP HydroFoil?

Thanks to the wide range of sail sizes and the efficient shape geometry, the HydroFoil is suitable for classic foil areas with moderate to freshening winds. It is equally at home on inland waters, shallow water, and coastal areas, providing a secure riding experience in both freeride foiling and sporty, ambitious use.

How do I properly care for and transport the JP HydroFoil?

Rinse the board with fresh water after every session, especially the foil tuttle box, to remove salt and sand. Store it dry and protected from direct sunlight. For transport, a suitable board bag is recommended to protect the finish and the nose reinforcement from damage.
