The JP 2013 site is now live: jp-australia.com/

On a different note. They really need to get a new creative agency. Their designs are getting worse every year.

Totally agree

JP Please note ('cause you might read this)
The designs are *that bad* that I am actually put off buying one, which is ridiculous because I'm sure they sail really well. I even have a really good price. It's not that they are plain, or even just bad. They are flat-out, horridly ugly. The FSWs look they are the love child of Ronald McDonald crashing into Max Headroom at an LSD after-party. They look like cheeseburgers.

I thought they peaked around 2009.

I'd much rather a plain white one.

Panda,
Agree but the FSW is a damn sight better than the Freestyle though. Maybe Izaak is correct and they are marketing to the "fully sick" generation as opposed to the "older" market.

I see also that they are holding onto the very last shards of their sponsorship of AA;

Two years ago JP introduced the Slalom VI generation following the 3 for 1 Slalom concept. With these boards Antoine Albeau FRA-192 dominated last year's PWA Slalom more than ever and won the title in a spectacular way. Micah Buzianis finished fourth. Together Antoine and Micah secured the first place in the PWA Slalom constructors ranking for JP.
2011 was a different year. It saw Antoine being very unlucky in several races. After dominating the Slalom discipline for many years he now has to settle for second.
This made him, Werner and the rest of the JP Slalom team work even harder on Generation VIII which again follows the 3 for 1 concept. They are all convinced that with these boards we will win the title back.


Somehow I don't think RRD would be too pleased reading how convinced AA is that JP will win the PWA constructor's title.

Yep sure look cool,just got mine today,I think the mountain bike will be getting a rest now

Pity they've cut out the 90 L supersport, they have always been a great sized board.
For lightweights the 100 is too big.

here ya go My7thlfe



had it out a couple of times now and I'm likeing it a lot.
only thing is they don't come in tuttle box which i'd prefere on the bigger boards,
but saying that, the stock fin works great.

Thanks a lot for the pictures
