Competition Speed Board
MAXIMUM SPEED
Built for ultimate speed, our line features two models that have shattered records and pushed the boundaries of windsurfing. While the tried-and-true 45 remains the gold standard for overall speed sailing with its unmatched design, the 40 is the perfect weapon for ideal conditions in the channel. Early prototypes have already displayed incredible performance, and we eagerly await to see its true limits tested this year again. Across the globe, the 45 reigns supreme on most speed tracks and holds the majority of production board speed records. At the Speed World Championships 2024 the Speed 45 was the board taking ALL the podium places with Vincent Valkenaers in 1st followed by Hans Kreisel in 2nd and Antoine Albeau in 3rd!
Nothing compares to the exhilarating sensation of flying down a speed course at full throttle, totally maxed out and right on the edge of control. Our boards are built for this very purpose. They’re meticulously designed and developed for those who have the courage to push their limits and sheet in, no matter the conditions. With rocket-like acceleration, a supremely loose feel, and virtually limitless top speed, these boards deliver an unparalleled adrenaline rush. Crank up the excitement by taking the largest sail you can handle, sheet in, and let yourself be consumed by the pure, uncompromising thrill of speed.
Speed 40
Years of development have culminated in the creation of the Speed 40, our fastest speed board yet. The prototypes dominated speed events in Lüderitz and the last GPS Challenges, leading our team riders to the unanimous conclusion that the shape of the current ‘40’ stood out as superior.
This design features a flat scoop rocker line with a transforming V from front to tail, ensuring perfect release and water flow under the board. Unique small Cut-Outs in the tail area reduce the wetted surface while maintaining a wide tail for optimal leverage to load the fin. Additionally, a recessed deck in the front lowers the mast base position and enhances control, further amplifying the board’s impressive speed.
Speed 45
With the JP Speed 45, Hans Kreisel proved that this shape can handle and control speeds exceeding 100 km/h. This dedicated speed design offers unparalleled control and stability, allowing you to push your limits and unleash your full potential on the water, even when the fear level is threatening to take over. It suits a wide range of speed sailing competitions – from ocean to non-ideal channel conditions – and performs optimally in a wider variety of wind angles. As such it remains the all-round version of these two super small high-performance designs.
The qualities of the 45 were proven once again in 2024 when the JP Speed 45 was the board of all three riders taking the podium with Vincent Valkenaers B-62 as the Speed World Champion, followed by his team mate Hans Kreisel NED-85 in second as Vice World Champion and Antoine Albeau FRA-192 in third.
