JP's five Slalom board are built for blasting at PWA competition speed, roundigng jibes at full speed, and maintaining precise control across a wide range of conditions. Their stability also benefits lighter riders, keeping them in control even when fully overpowered, while allowing rapid acceleration to top speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new SL 72 pushes performance even further: optimised hull aerodynamics, refined rail and deck shapes, and a higher water position let it slice through chop effortlessly, accelerate faster, and stay rock-solid through the most demanding jibes. S-Tec construction combines a striking look with reduced weight and enhanced stiffness, enabling earlier planing, easier handling, and higher top-end speed. Whether chasing the podium or pushing personal limits, the SL delivers the perfect balance of power, repsonsiveness, and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS-TEC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimizing weight is especially an issue on performance board. So, the new and groundbreaking S-TEC construction is also used for JP’s race boards. The estimated average weight saving of the S-TEC for the Slalom is expected be up to 0.3 kilo. Considering that previous boards were already extremely light every additional weight reduction is impressive! This is achieved through the following changes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* No paint\u003cbr\u003e* Reduction of anti-slip, used only in standing areas\u003cbr\u003e* Reduction of UV-paint\u003cbr\u003e* Smaller and thinner pads – less EVA and less glue\u003cbr\u003e* Refined custom lamination process, with fibres prepared and laminated separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHAPE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new 72 - In the highly competitive SL world we are constantly working to improve our range, the SL 72 has been upgraded to significantly increase overall speed by trimming down the board to a higher water position, reducing wetted surface and drag. This allows riders to go faster while maintaining greater stability and control in rough conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the development, the hull's aerodynamics were optimised, particularly in the nose area. A redesigned rail and deck shape in front of the mast base ensures a smooth airflow over the deck, keeping the board stable and efficient even in challenging conditions. Towards the tail, the outline and deck shape were smoothed, especially around the back footstrap, offering a more connected feel and a comfortable stance. These updates also improve gybing ability, giving more control when entering at high speed and exiting the turn, making riders more competitive not only in straight-line speed but also around the mark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix core design elements guarantee the perfect set-up for PWA racing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDUAL TAIL OUTLINES – individually adjusted to each board size. The Cut-Out configuration reduces the outline width and the wetted surface of the bottom for less drag and higher speeds. The deck outline above the cut-outs is wider which results in a further outboard rear strap position: The rider can load more power onto the fin for more control and speed. The Double Step Cut-Outs of the 62.5 and 76 are parts of this individual shape adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRANSFORMING VEE FLOW along the bottom – the Vee is strongly pronounced in front of the mast base, decreasing between the foot straps and opening again towards the tail. Thus, the board rides high and loose, ironing out all the chop. The transforming V results in a curvy rail line which makes jibing smoother and helps to exit the turn at full speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMPACT CONCEPT – The parallel outline in the mid-section of the short board maximizes the planing surface at the mast base, lifting the boards onto the plane instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHIN PROFILE – in the nose area reduces drag since this is the part which is affected most by the wind. This, in combination with a concave deck, means we managed to keep the swing weight centred for great top end control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDECK SHAPES – Stance\u003cbr\u003eA tiny but essential advantage: The comfortable and ergonomic deck shape guarantees a relaxed stance, allowing the rider to focus on going faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDECK SHAPES – Efficiency\u003cbr\u003eThe board features the proven concave deck reducing swing weight and now comes with an additional recess for the deck box, dropping the pivot point of the mast base. As a result, the sail foot seals the gap between the board and sail providing ultimate efficiency as well as additional control when pushing the limits and during the jibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis year, the boards feature a standard Deep Tuttle box and are no longer approved for foiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-content pt-4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECH FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Full Biax-Carbon deck\u003cbr\u003e* High-density PVC in complete deck and bottom\u003cbr\u003e* Biax-Carbon reinforcements in the foot strap area\u003cbr\u003e* Glass reinforcements in the centre and foot strap area\u003cbr\u003e* Full Parabolic rails due to overlapping Carbon and glass layers, additionally reinforced along the foot strap area\u003cbr\u003e* Recess at the mast box\u003cbr\u003e* Dual tail outlines due to cut-outs\u003cbr\u003e* Double step cut-outs (62.5 and 76)\u003cbr\u003e* Double footstrap plugs\u003cbr\u003e* Footstrap with scale\u003cbr\u003e* Deep Tuttle box (not approved for foiling)\u003cbr\u003e* No fin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 16.6407%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 16.6407%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 16.6407%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 16.6407%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 16.6407%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 16.6407%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIZE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLENGTH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e229cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e228cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e228cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVOLUME\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e139L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.9kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.3kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFIN BOX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuttlebox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuttlebox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuttlebox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuttlebox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuttlebox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JP","offers":[{"title":"62.5","offer_id":56646816825726,"sku":"43575","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"66","offer_id":56646816858494,"sku":"43576","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"72","offer_id":56646816891262,"sku":"43577","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"76","offer_id":56646816924030,"sku":"43573","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"85","offer_id":56646816956798,"sku":"43578","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1521\/6572\/files\/JP_SLALOMS-TEC_261224_1.jpg?v=1771426356","url":"https:\/\/www.pooleharbour.co.uk\/cs\/products\/jp-slalom-board-2026","provider":"Poole Harbour Watersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
