JP Australia Radical Wave 2007, serious stuff

Perfected in the best wavesailing venues around the world the Radical Waves will take you as far as you want to go, and back again.

Designed by Richard Greene and tested to distruction by the man himself - Jason Polakow, these boards are perfect in their element when the surf conditions get big and the wind starts to blow. Consistent development over the years has resulted in boards famous for their grip and precision, resulting in designs that gives the experts unlimited potential and the advanced rider unbounded confidence. According to Jason - "Nothing holds these boards back on your way to new wavesailing heights".

The JP Radical Wave 2007 models are the culmination of carefully studying the best characteristics of previous wave lines and meticulously incorporating those qualities into each model. For the new generation, Richard Greene also focused on improving the small wave riding capabilities, carrying even more speed through the bottom turns and improving the ease to bring the boards from rail to rail.

Development Focus

  • Improve small wave riding capabilities, carrying speed, easy rail to rail
  • Early planing, speed and stable bottom turns
  • Don't compromise high performance to broaden range and accessibility
  • These boards have to rip in all conditions
  • Excellent modulation, short or long arcs directly linked to foot pressure

2007 Shape News

The new Radical Waves are slightly shorter than the 2006 models and have a more compact look and feel - very much in line with other main brands this year. The rails have been thinned out in the tail for better grip in the cutback and improved control on the wave face.

The distribution of volume has also been worked on this year making the range more balanced and easy to use especially in marginal conditions. The subtle bottom shape with single concave under the mast, moving into slight double concaves with a gradually increasing Vee offers amazing bite for high speed turns. This in conjunction with a new rocker profile means a board that offers unparalleled rail to rail transitions and effortless planing.

The Radical Waves are fast under the front foot and loose under the rear foot giving them unequalled versatility.

Main Features

  • Close to traditional waveboard outline (not to wide)
  • Thin rails
  • Polakow pintail
  • Radical Wave scoop rocker and outline
  • Single concave to double concave bottom
  • US fin box

Designed for advanced wave sailors to professionals who want a board that won’t hold them back and which has no limits concerning wave size, these new JPs are set to make a big impression in 2007.
