JP Ultimate Wave S-TEC 2025

This year, the standout detail is our groundbreaking S-TEC technology, introduced for the first time in the JP lineup. The weight saving is impressive: This generation of Ultimate Wave boards is about 500 grams or more lighter! This is achieved through several key changes:

* No paint

* Reduction of anti-slip, used only in standing areas

* Reduction of UV-paint

* Smaller pads – less EVA and less glue

* Elimination of the rear centre fin box

* Refined custom lamination process, with fibres prepared and laminated separately

The durability maintained at the proven level by replacing the Innegra material with more high-quality S-glass, combined with Biax-Carbon reinforcements and UD Carbon layers underneath the high density PVC. Additionally, the bottom laminate no longer stops at the tuck line but wraps around the rail. Together with the overlapping deck laminate, it acts as an additional stringer along the rails, providing more rigidity and strengthening the rail simultaneously.
This not only creates a totally new look, but being half kilogram or more lighter delivers a new riding sensation!

The weight-saving design involves minimal use of UV-resistant paint, which may lead to slight yellowing in certain areas over time.
