Well I have not done this before but I was compelled to let anyone who is keen on getting themselves a very very fast comfortable board that the JP 74 127L Super Sport GOLD EDITION is the lightest, best board of that size I have ever had the pleasure of riding and thats over 20 years of sailing!
Last Saturday me and a friend had a drag race upwind and downwind off the coast of Perth and the JP handled the chop on the way out very well. I thought that I would have been caught and permanently passed at some stage downwind and briefly I was but then the hammer came down and away she went taking out the friendly drag race to the wire.
The interesting thing was that it was not a day for the 7.8 RS6 and 127L that I was using as it was quite windy. Most guys that day were on 110L or smaller and around 6.5m sails (my buddy was on 6.7 and 110L well powered). I was blown away by the acceleration and control even with the 42cm standard issue fin which somehow held it together when a 35cm would have done the job.

Crikey I dont want to go on as the board speaks for itself. If you spot someone with one beg for a go on it you will be amazed (thats if they feel like getting off it which is unlikley). BPG

Have you lined it up beside an Isonic yet? If so how did it go?

Did you have to sell you car to buy it, aren't they a very big $$$. Maybe this is JP's new slalom board in disguise.

I rode the 127 and loved it but bought the 118 and love it even more! $$ did not stretch the the gold edition. Still extremely happy with the purchase.
