Howdy, The JP I have is also proving to be a solid all rounder. Check the surf wide body reviews I have put up. The paint job ( striping)on the deck is starting to show some wear ,but, the actual grey finish is as tough as any board I have had. Striping is cosmetic only.

Love my board, use it every weekend in anything dished out.

I am not gentle on my gear, the JP, takes the beating and smiles. Can only recommend and I am a paying punter, no stickers on my deck!
