JP 2018 SUP Surf Slate
JP 2018 SUP Surf Slate – LIGHTNING FAST
The all-new Surf Slate 2018 line became a compromise between the full-on parallel rail shape and a classic surf outline. The nose and tail are pulled in for a better maneuverability, so you can fine tune better the trajectory once the board is railed up in bottom turns. We narrowed down the nose and tail, however making the boards slightly longer to compensate for the effective rail line that is engaged throughout a turn. Use the extra speed to glide across flat sections of the wave or to hit the lip with full power. The bottom shape features a V entry that flows into a deep single concave ending with a subtle V right at the center fin position. This ensures smooth lift and an easy rail-to rail transfer.
