I'm looking ahead for a board of this type so I wondered if anyone had a chance to demo this board ?

It looks quite suspiciously like the JP 150 i used to own.

They say that they took the 150 to design the 176 .

Not sure i can really pass comment since i haven't ridden the 176, but it'll be interesting to see what develops with the slalom foiling. Whether there'll be a drastic change in the slalom orientated equipment, or more of the same.

They kinda dropped the ball a bit with the 150. it was meant to be a course orientated race board, but everyone else went straight to 91 wide parallel rails. Interesting they've decided to go back to that shape for the slalom board (it never really left, but they moved it off the race line up the next year)

im not sure anyone on here will have had a go on one yet, but if youre the first, be sure to report back about it

Yeah the 150 was a good all rounder. It lacked the width for a wider foil, but i don't know that wider foils will be a feature on the slalom course.

What year was your 150 ? 2020 : 150 and 176 are 91cm .
