2010 WINDSURFING Board Tests: Freestyle Boards |
| Find out which five windsurfing boards scored highest for freestyle in WINDSURFING’s 2010 Freestyle Windsurf Board Tests. |
Best Windsurf Board For Freestyle: |

JP Freestyle 98 Windsurf Board |
|
Experts and advanced sailors agreed that the JP Freestyle 98 was one of the friendliest and easiest windsurf boards to try freestyle maneuvers on. A full-on freestyle windsurfing board with the beveled tail for backward sliding and specialized divots to lock your feet into the straps, the JP is one of our go-to boards for testers looking to learn new-school aerial freestyle.

How we test for FreestyleBy crashing. Lots. OK, serious time — our best testers put each of the windsurf boards through the standard repertoire of basic freestyle moves — Vulcans, Spocks, grubbies and loops. They’re looking for pop, sliding ability and general ease of use. |
Trade-offsFlat rockers, wide boards and stubby freestyle fins do not a carving board make — jibing takes some readjustment. |

Testing freestyle-wave boards against pure freestyle boards in a freestyle-test, ain't exactly fair for the brands. You should've tested freestyle boards against freestyle boards.
I agree with Nick, this test is flawed.
What about all the other pure freestyle boards? it looks like this was an FSW board test with JP and Fanatic missing the point….
I havent tried JP Freestyle 98 Windsurf Board, but for sure Skate is a good turning b**h.
Geez, that’s unebilaevble. Kudos and such.
