The new JP Slalom IX looks great in my opinion and yes i will probably get alot of flack, just for saying that. Anyway some slight changes for the IX vs the VI. Hopefully the new IX lives up to how good the VI is. If i can push my VI to 41knots, many times. For now, some pictures below and it will be interesting to compare the two boards. Both are 56cm wide, 81 liters. Will give some feedback once we finally get some wind. By the way the new ones dads

Besides the cut outs they look very similar to each other. I saw one on Sunday and they are good looking boards.

Was/were there ever JP 7's and 8's? they seem to have gone straight from a VI to a IX....?

I just think it's great that JP are teaching youngsters roman numerals.
Wonder what "slalom board" was in Latin? - any guesses?

Hey Rexy,


7 ( VII )
8 ( VIII )

ta Rick. I wasn't trying to be facetious either, it was an honest question. I had just never noticed the VII's or VIII's before.
