New Toy - JP 102 FSW

Picked up my new JP 102 Freestyle Wave during the week after selling my JP 92 Slalom.  It was a hard decision and if I could afford the luxury I would have kept both boards.  With our SA speed spots gone and a another baby on the way  I am hoping this will be the answer to getting my sailing fix after work on the local coast when the summer seabreezes kick in. 

I am going to use it with the 6.4 & 5.4 Excess with the option of putting the RSR 7m on it occasionaly.  I am really looking forward to mixing it up a bit as I am getting a little tired of the 1 dimensional sailing I have been doing for the last few years.
I wasn't sure about the boards colour scheme when it was first released but I have to say it is really growing on my.  I went for the bombproof FWS construction as I want something a little softer in the chop and from landing big airs.

  1. Hi Tim, did you already try your new board and are you know a multi dimensional windsurfer again :-)?

    I also have thought about of mixing up the disciplines because I am always windsurfing on racing equipment which can impose some restrictions.
