JP 2023 Hydrofoil LXT

PERFORMANCE FOILING AT EASE!

LXT VERSION

The updates made them more accessible and easy to control and to fly. Being super comfortable to ride, they are also efficient and fast. The 133 and 155 represent JP’s most balanced mix of user-friendliness combined with top foil performance. They are so easy to ride and control that in 2022 the pros sailed them in competitions when conditions got hairy.

The predecessors were already great and only full-on race designs challenged their performance. But the success and the improved feel of the latest edition of JP’s performance foil race boards was undeniable and shaper Werner Gnigler wanted to transfer these benefits to the recreational foil class, getting rid of all superfluous volume and width. As a result, the HydroFoils are super comfortable and easy to sail. In fact, their ease is the key to their success and the base for the incredible speed. Compare it to regular windsurfing, the same connection exists between the pure performance and the freerace class: once the Slalom boards get substantially better or faster, these advantages are transferred into the Super Sport shapes.

Shaper Werner Gnigler states: “We remained true to our concept, offering a pure foil board. I kept my focus on making fast foiling easy and accessible, but still extremely exciting. Hence, I improved stability, comfort and control because – once airborne – these are the prerequisites for a fast run on all tracks.”
