OVERVIEW

The FoilRide is the easiest to ride out of our five (!) pure foil boards, the FoilCompV2, the FoilRace, the FoilRide, the FoilMove and the FoilStyle.
It's a little narrower in the tail than the FoilRace and the FoilComp. The FoilRide doesn't have cutouts which makes the accelleration more even, easier to control and more stable. Usually freeriders don't use a lot of rake on the foil mast so the additional sinking of the tail as a scondary result of the cutouts is not needed to give the foil a positive angle of attack. It's way more important to give the rider the confidence and safety to gain trust in foiling quickly and improve from session to session.
Of course our cutouts design have the more agressive accelleration and get to the flight earlier but at the same time the passive accelleration (without pumping sail and board) is really impressive on the FoilRide. The mastrack doesn't come with the deck recess, which is not needed in freeriding, so the board is less vulnerable to deck damage while you're learning to master the foil. The advanced aerodynamics of this board will give you the smoothest and easiest ride on a windfoil you can possibly imagine. 

The wider the board the earlier the flight and the easier the jibes. The narrower the board the better the aerodynamics in strong winds resulting in a more controlled flight.

OVERVIEW

The FoilRace is the easier little sister of our pure foil competition machine FoilCompV2. It is able to match the FoilComp's race performance by 98% but is a little more rider friendly than its competition equivalent.
As said before the outline and concept is very close and similar to the FoilCompV2 but less extreme in the details. The cutouts are designed to favour passive accelleration a little better than on the FoilCompV2. They still allow for active pumping and sinking of the tail with raked foils. If you are looking for one foil board to cover any flatwater conditions from freeride to racing this board is for you.

WIND-FOIL PERFORMANCE SPORTIVE & COMPETITION

Performance Foiling at Ease

JP’s HydroFoil machines were one of the very first specialised boards for foiling and they were trendsetters right from the start of the foil revolution. The overall range of use and the all-round appeal of the first two generations made them extremely popular and successful on the market. These two shapes of the third generation can best be summarized as user-friendly scaled-down versions of the 'HydroFoil Slalom' models. 
The 133 and 155 represent JP’s most balanced mix of user-friendliness combined with top foil performance. They are very efficient and fast, super comfortable to ride and easy to handle.

The predecessors were already great and only full-on race designs challenged their performance. But the success and the improved feel 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 freerace shapes, the Super Sports.

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.”

Shape details

The boards are narrow featuring proven proportions and dimensions. The main advantages: The shortness keeps the swing weight low for control and the balanced feel. In the air, the compact hulls provide the feeling of total control and dominance over the foil.

The even distribution of volume offers great stability and helps to lift off early. As a bonus, the volume in the nose provides sufficient float for uphauling on these short boards.

The forward section, the rounded rails with a defined tuck line feature slightly more volume for easier uphauling and are forgiving as they provide less drag on occasional touch-downs. They don’t slow down but instantly bounce-off the water, getting you up and flying again in an instant.

In the footstrap area, the deck comes with a slight dome. As a result, the ankle is not overstretched when leaning outboard in order to push and tilt the hull, and it is easier to get in and out of the straps. You feel totally connected to the board with great leverage over the foil which allows you to push your performance and fully exploit the power of the sail. Not only can you ‘ride’ but really ‘work’ the foil due to the perfect stance.

The cut-outs are very large. The benefit: Less volume and area allow you to sink the tail when pumping and loading up the foil. This results in an easy and instant take off as well as reduced drag on occasional touch-downs.

The thin profile limits drag once airborne and creates as little resistance as possible, which is very important when you are flying because strong gusts don’t affect the trim of the board. Your flight will be very stable and balanced.

133:

The third generation of the shape that started the foil hype for JP: It is still the most all-round size, covering a very wide wind range. It suits most rider weights and levels and works great with all sail sizes except the very biggest and smallest ones. The perfect one-for-all size for most sailors.

155:

Originally, this size was designed for foil races. Compared to pure performance boards, the volume and dimensions are reduced to the necessary maximum. It is the downsized, “freerace”, easy-handling and fun version. It also has a wide range but is especially targeted for light wind spots when used by big sailors or with big sails. Thanks to the bigger 6-hole foot strap plug, you can adapt your strap position to a wider variety of foil sizes.

Of course they come with JP’s reinforced Foil-Tuttlebox.

This Haydrofoil generation combines the virtues of the freeride and performance foil classes. They are great fun and exciting to sail as they fly at blistering pace. Recreational riders will be especially impressed with their speed across the wind. Ease is the base of their performance! The comfortable stance on the board makes everything more efficient, stable and controllable. The confidence to fly fast comes naturally on these boards! 
HydroFoil – accessible foil pace and fun for everyone.

PERFORMANCE WIND-FOIL SLALOM COMPETITION

AERODYNAMIC MASTERPIECE

Flying faster on the foil than ever before – the HydroFoil Slalom enters 2026 with a new 85 generation designed to dominate in every condition. Our mission was clear: unlock more efficiency, more control, and more top speed in the air. The result is a board that redefines aerodynamic flow, stability, and rider comfort at high velocity.
Foiling has become the heart of modern slalom racing, and JP boards continue to lead this evolution. With decades of experience, our shaper Werner Gnigler once again pushed the boundaries, refining the outline, the rails, and the deck profile to deliver a board that accelerate earlier, release cleaner, and remain steadier when fully powered. Every detail was reconsidered for the competitive edge – from airflow release to deck stance, from cut-outs to control.
The HydroFoil Slalom line remains focused on the core sizes 80, 85, and 88, ensuring every rider finds the perfect match for their weight and wind range.
 

S-TEC:
Weight remains a decisive factor in foil racing. That’s why all HydroFoil Slalom boards continue to feature our groundbreaking S-TEC technology: minimalistic, ultra-light, and built without compromise.

• No paint
• Reduced anti-slip (only in stance area)
• Slimmer pads, less EVA and glue
• Optimized lamination with individually prepared fibres

The result is up to 300 grams lighter than conventional builds, while maintaining durability through strategic biax-carbon reinforcements. This construction gives every board earlier take-offs, sharper reactions, and unmatched control in flight.

HYDROFOIL SLALOM 85 – New for 2026

By optimizing our shape, the HF SL 85 has reached a new level of performance. Designed to perform across the widest wind range, it now features a slightly longer outline and optimized scoop-rocker line to enable earlier take-offs at lower speeds – while remaining compact thanks to the exceptionally sharp V-shape along the underside of the nose.

The deck shape has seen the biggest changes: reshaped with aerodynamic flow in mind, the hull’s lengthwise cross-section now works like a profile that minimizes drag, creates lift, and keeps the board stable in the air.

Every detail of the HF SL has been reworked with one goal: more speed, control, and efficiency. These design updates define the evolution of the HF SL 85:

• New rail design: eliminates turbulence for smooth, stable airflow and efficient water release during take-offs and touchdowns.
• Deck tail release cut-out: ensures clean airflow separation without turbulence.
• Flatter deck around the front foot: improves rider leverage over the foil, generating more power.
• Refined rail shape at the back foot: slightly smoother for maximum comfort and control.
• Double strap plug option at the back foot: allows a more inboard position for extra control in strong winds; and a more outboard position for extra power on tight reaches and in lighter winds.

HYDROFOIL SLALOM 80 & 88

The 80 and 88 models remain unchanged for 2026, ensuring every rider can find the perfect board for their weight and racing conditions. Together with the new designed 85, they form the ultimate quiver for slalom foil racing.

SHAPE HIGHLIGHTS (all sizes)

• Aerodynamic Nose Efficiency: flat scoop, thin rails, and domed nose deck create laminar airflow and stable lift.
• Mast Base Area: full rails with sharp edges for efficient lift and smooth touchdowns.
• Deck Box Recess: lowers the mast base, increases efficiency, and improves control at top speed and during gybes.
• Tail Aerodynamics: concave recess channels airflow for extra stability.
• Large Tail Cut-Outs: reduce drag, volume, and wetted surface – ensuring instant take-off and high-speed control.
• Wide Tail: provides leverage for speed while keeping the rider in control of massive foil forces.

TECH FEATURES

* Full Biax-Carbon deck

* High-density PVC in complete deck and bottom

* Biax-Carbon reinforcements in the foot strap area

* Glass reinforcements in the centre standing and foot strap area

PREDATOR _FOIL STYLE

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. MAXIMUM STYLE.

The Predator is a dedicated windsurfing foil board that transcends boundaries. More aggressive than the Alien, it’s engineered to carve, jump and slice through the air with decisive precision.

Redesigned for 025, the Predator now delivers enhanced in-flight stability through strategic volume distribution and a lower centre of balance. The purpose-designed nose area is a defining factor in controlled flight and landings. This added stability opens new realms of expression – from foilstyle aerial rotations to foil wave riding.

Length is kept short to reduce the lift required to keep it flying and to increase maneuverability. Premium construction keeps the weight significantly below industry standard for real performance.

Strategic inboard-only rear footstrap positioning keeps the rider’s weight directly over the foil during jumps and maneuvers, reducing leverage and minimizing breakage risk. As a true windsurf board, a deep-tuttle box is used for reliability, consistency and ease of use. Excess inserts and finboxes have been eliminated, increasing simplicity and reducing weight.

Match the Predator with the R4D for the ultimate combo.
