JP Board Groupings (How the Range Is Designed)
Wave, Freestyle, Freeride
This is the “progress in all conditions” side of the lineup - from surfy wave turns, to explosive freestyle moves, to smooth, early take-offs and stable touchdowns. If your sessions are mostly about carving, jumping, transitions and control, start here.
Midlength & Downwind
Designed for early lift, long glide, and smooth touchdowns. Ideal if you ride in lighter winds, want to unlock downwind potential, or simply want efficiency that makes sessions easier and longer.
Intermediate & Beginner
If your priority is easy learning, stability, and fast progression, start here. These boards are designed to make standing up, taxiing, and recovering touchdowns simpler — so you can focus on wing handling and foil control.

Size Guide: Pick the Right Volume Band
Exact volumes vary by size within each model, so the cleanest approach is to match your skill level to a volume band, then choose the exact litre size on the product page.
| Rider Level | Volume Target (Rule of Thumb) | What It Prioritises | JP Models to Start With |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Rider weight (kg) + 15–30L | Easy standing, stable taxi, forgiving touchdowns | XR IPR 2026 · X-Winger IPR 2026 · WingAir SE 2023 |
| Intermediate | Rider weight (kg) + 5–15L | More speed + easier pumping; still manageable recovery | X-Winger PRO 2026 · RS PRO 2026 · F-Winger S-TEC 2026 |
| Advanced | Rider weight (kg) + -5 to +5L | Low swing weight, fast response, technique-dependent starts | S-Winger PRO 2024 · Downwind S-TEC 2025 · M-Winger PRO 2025 |
UK tip: If your wind is gusty or you’re often underpowered, favour the more efficient outlines (RS / M / Downwind) or slightly more volume. If you’re consistently powered and want manoeuvres and jumps, go more compact (X / F / S).
Wind Range Chart (Practical Session Planning)
Boards don’t have strict “wind ranges” like wings, but the shape direction massively changes how easy it is to get flying and recover touchdowns.
