FUNSTER
ASA SANDWICH Technology with full EVA deck, nose protector and a carrying handle on the nose and tail.
HAVE GREAT FUN
They provide superior stability and easy handling which the beginner needs! Yet, they are more than pure beginner boards as they can get you onto the plane like a large freeride board. Consequently they are excellent beginner and family boards, also offering fun to the advanced rider.
Their comfortable EVA decks have various footstrap options from an easy inboard cruising setup to a sportier stance out on the rail of the board. They all come with indestructible, detachable fiberglass nose protectors.
The 205 and 180 are simply perfect beginner boards. After only a few hours everybody will be sailing back and forth. The 145 and 160 have a wide range of use: From beginner boards for kids and lightweights to sporty cruisers for more advanced riders.
FUNSTAIR
INFLATABLE Drop Stitch Technology
INFLATABLE FUN
This inflatable version of the Funster offers the same basic concept like its hard board siblings but additionally has awesome handling advantages: It can be rolled up and fits into the backpack it comes with – no more need for a roof rack for transport and no big garage for storage. It is also considerably lighter than any hardboard of this size.
The high tech drop stitch technology makes it so stiff that you will easily get it gliding but the surface itself is so soft that you won’t get hurt when falling on it.
Instead of a daggerboard the additional center fin provides directional stability to reduce side drift and helps to go upwind. Being longer than the normal Funsters also helps with going upwind due to its longer waterline length.
Our team riders could not believe how much fun this board is. It can also be used as a beginner SUP board and is therefore an ideal family toy.

LIMITED FINISH - LESS IS MORE
Since 2004 the first JP PRO Edition boards have a (SUPER) LIMITED FINISH. By reducing the amount of paint (sanding off) the weight is decreased. Consequently, the boards have a custom look with certain "imperfections" in the paint, thus the material below might shine through. Sometimes they even look as if repaired. This is also true for the Full Wood Sandwich boards as they now feature a LIMITED FINISH, too. You won't find two boards exactly the same. We believe this is worth it as the weight reduction is substantial and there's no loss of durability or strength.
STORAGE
Store your board in mild (neither hot, nor cold; not exposed to sunlight), dry places !
Winter storage: non-freezing (constantly above +5 C).
Note: Avoid storage in closed, damp conditions like in a wet boardbag! So, after windsurfing and safe transport put the board out of its bag and let both dry separately - otherwise your board will suffer from osmosis and blisters (bubbles) will show up on the boards surface. And your bag might start to smell.
AIR VALVE
We highly recommend to open the air valve screw when the board is not used. Reason: Due to high pressure differences the sandwich construction suffers from high stress and can delaminate long term from the board's core. This will result in a soft spot and start absorbing water. Pressure differences are caused by high temperature variations or other pressure variations from e.g. aero planes. Do not forget to close the air vent before going on the water!
NOSE PROTECTOR
Damages caused by impacts are not covered under JP-Australia's limited warranty. Therefore, JP-Australia highly recommends the use of a nose protector.
Especially recommended for novices and everybody, who wants to protect the board nose.
The universal protector: Made of EVA, the UNI NOSE PROTECTOR is a very light yet strong protection. It is easy to handle as it is simply glued onto the nose.
The set consists of 6 pieces: 2 side parts (one left and one right), and 4 connections in sizes Small, Medium, Large and "Wave Slate".
By combining the two sides with the appropriate connection at the front, noses of almost all standard board sizes and shapes can be covered efficiently.
This makes it an universal protector not only for JP boards but for most boards available on the market.
Please note: The uni nose protector is not made for the use on demo boards or in windsurfing centers, but for private use only!
