Introducing the JP Australia Slalom S-TEC 2026.


Full control, full speed

Control and top speed—that's exactly what you need to reach the podium. JP's five slalom boards are built to race at PWA competition speeds, jibe at full speed, and maintain precise control across a wide range of conditions. Their stability also benefits lighter riders, who can maintain control even when overpowered and still accelerate extremely quickly. The new SL 72 takes performance even further with optimized hull aerodynamics, refined rails and deck shapes, and a higher waterline, so it cuts through chop effortlessly, accelerates faster, and remains stable even in the hardest jibes. The S TEC construction combines a premium look with less weight and greater stiffness, enabling earlier planing, easier handling, and higher top speeds. Whether you want to get on the podium or push your personal limits, the SL delivers the perfect balance of power, responsiveness, and confidence.

S TEC
The STEC construction used in all JP race boards offers very low weight and high stiffness. This is achieved through a sophisticated design concept.

  • No color
  • Anti-slip only in the standing areas
  • Compact pads with minimal EVA and adhesive
  • Refined, manually tuned lamination with individually prepared fibers

This construction enables earlier planing, easy handling, and maximum performance on the water.

The New 72

In the extremely competitive slalom scene, we are constantly working to improve our range. The SL 72 has been redesigned to significantly increase overall speed. To achieve this, the board has been trimmed higher in the water, reducing the wetted surface area and drag. This allows you to ride faster while maintaining more stability and control in rough conditions.

During development, the aerodynamics of the hull were optimized, especially in the nose area. A newly designed rail and deck shape in front of the Baseplate ensures clean airflow over the deck, keeping the board stable and efficient even in difficult conditions. Towards the tail, the outline and deck shape have been smoothed out, especially in the rear footstrap area, giving a more connected feel and a comfortable stance.

These updates also improve jibe performance. You have more control when entering quickly and more stability when accelerating out, making you more competitive not only at top speed but also at the buoy.

Important features carried over from the rest of the range

  • Smooth scoop rocker line and transforming V flow. Strongly pronounced in front of the Baseplate, flatter between the loops and opening up again towards the tail. This reduces drag, ensures a high and loose water position, and makes it easier to control when jibing, so you can come out with more speed.
  • High Apex Rail Shape creates lift for early planing, acceleration, and stability when jibing.
  • Tail Tuck Line with double-stepped cutout for maximum control, release, and speed.
  • Well-thought-out footstrap positions for efficient power transfer and easy entry and exit when jibing.

The basic concept of our SLALOM line

When designing and fine-tuning this line, the focus is on increasing the average speed over the entire course. The jibe is particularly important, as this is where the greatest time gains are possible in a race. The goal is to maintain speed throughout the jibe and come out faster.

The shapes offer a stable, locked riding position. Much less power is needed to reach and maintain top speed, and all models plane extremely early and cover a wide range of conditions. The wide tails provide a lot of leverage on the fin, which increases power and control.

The smoothly shaped decks ensure a super comfortable stance. You save energy and can push harder on long strokes.

All sizes have an additional pad wedge between the rear straps for a more direct board feel.

Each board size has its own tail cutout configuration to achieve the perfect mix of release and long rail line for control. On the larger boards, the first cutouts start further forward and the curve of the cutouts becomes more pronounced towards the tail. The goal is always efficient water release and even water flow around the fin, so that the fin gets constant pressure for power and top speed. The Slalom 62.5, 66, 72, and 76 have double step cutouts, where the two steps are of different heights.

From the middle of the board to the nose, the apex point of the rails has been raised. This creates more volume in the rail, which helps you jibe faster and with more control.

In addition to the aerodynamic deck shape, we use an additional recess for the deck box. This lowers the Baseplate, which gives you more control at top speed and when jibing. Close the gap: the lower sail foot closes the gap between the sail and the deck for maximum efficiency.

Six key design elements guarantee the perfect setup for PWA racing

Dual tail outlines. Each board size has its own contour. The cutouts reduce the outline width and the wetted area on the hull for less drag and more speed. The deck outline above the cutouts is wider so that the rear loop is further out. This allows you to put more pressure on the fin for more control and more speed. The double step cutouts of the 62.5 and 76 are part of this.

Transforming Vee Flow on the hull.
Strongly pronounced in front of the Baseplate, flatter between the straps, opening up again towards the tail. This makes the board ride high and loose and irons out chop. The curved rail line makes jibes smoother and helps you get out at full speed.

Compact Concept.
The parallel outline in the middle section of the short boards maximizes the gliding surface at the Baseplate and lifts them into gliding immediately.

Thin Profile.
Especially in the nose area, it reduces wind resistance. In combination with the aerodynamic deck, the swing weight remains centered, which increases control at top speed.

Deck Shapes Stance.
A small but important advantage. The ergonomic deck guarantees a relaxed posture, allowing you to concentrate fully on speed.

Deck Shapes Efficiency.
The aerodynamic deck reduces swing weight and, with the additional deck box recess, the Baseplate sits lower. This allows the sail foot to close perfectly, providing maximum efficiency and additional control during full jibes and at high speeds.

The boards have a deep Tuttle box and are not approved for foiling.

Great privacy room divider
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
I got this room divider for our game room that shares the garage/laundry room, to separate the spaces. I was happy that it was relatively easy to put together in less than an hour with nothing more than a screwdriver (provided) although I used a small handheld drill. The instructions were pretty straightforward and easy to understand as everything was labeled. I have 2 small grandkids at home running around while I put this together so my timeline to completion might be longer than others. It recommends 2 people to assemble, but I was able to complete alone in about 40 minutes total and as I said I used a small handheld drill, (although it does come with a small Philips screwdriver) which is the only tool you need for assembly. The first two panels took me about 20 minutes but the other 4 were simple repeats after the initial 2. After all 6 panels were assembled the plastic clips to piece them together were literally a "SNAP" to put on. The poles are made of metal and the panels are made of a very sturdy almost canvas like fabric. When held up to the light not a lot shined through so very good for privacy. You can snap them together in sections and have 2 separate panels of 3 or what ever configuration you want. They are easy to move and bend around furniture or other obstacles, also fold flat together if you need to put them aside for storage. This worked out just as we had planned, very easy to move around when needed and I am very happy with this product. I loved how simple it was to put together, easy instructions, and the durability and functionality of it.

Decent for the price. Instructions suck but most people should be able to figure it out. More below.
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
SUMMARY: 3 stars from me because it's firmly average. It's fine for the price. Assembly and materials are alright but I can see some caveats depending on your circumstances. Assembly instructions do a subpar job of pointing out some details. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Maybe it's because I'm autistic and/or building model kits and assembling stuff is my jam, but I honestly thought people were exaggerating when they were complaining about the instructions and I'd be able to flex my ~superior assembly skills.~ I was wrong! These instructions genuinely suck, and whoever is responsible for making them should be ashamed. The instructions do a poor job of calling out some details regarding orientation of parts, and some of the images do not actually match the physical parts. For example, it does not really outline the assembly of the end panels clearly, and I can see someone accidentally using the wrong poles. I've drawn over a photo to show what you should do to try and make it clearer. Additionally, the manual shows a flathead screw for bolting the feet into position, but the actual screw is not a flathead. It also does not point out the counterbore, so if you aren't paying attention you may put the foot pads onto the wrong side of the foot. It's also missing the fact that you need to use another one of the plastic pieces when you finish assembling a panel. ACTUAL ASSEMBLY & MATERIALS: To their credit, all of my bags were clearly labeled. The assembly process wasn't difficult. It's mostly just tedious and requires a fair amount of space. I was able to assemble it by myself without any real difficulty. However, the way it's assembled means two things. One, the fabric parts aren't removable without disassembly. So if you want to use this in an environment where they would require cleaning, I would seriously recommend looking for another option. Or, you could buy this just to use the frame pieces and then somehow buy or make your own fabric pieces designed to be removable with velcro or something. Two, because of the materials I really don't have a lot of faith in this thing surviving disassembly and reassembly. Like a lot of sorta-cheap-but-convenient furniture, it uses those spring-button connections and plastic inserts with self-tapping screws. Those things are not really meant to be disassembled and rethreaded. It also relies a lot on the tension of the poles and the fabric to keep everything rigid and squared, which I think puts a lot of pressure on the aforementioned buttons, plastic inserts, and the hollow metal rods. So I feel like that will also cause issues with disassembly and reassembly. Basically once this thing is assembled, it's not really meant to be disassembled. The best you can do is spot-clean the fabric if you need to. Speaking of the fabric, I didn't see any labels on them or anything in the manual that says what they are, but they feel like some kind of polyester. They generate static electricity pretty easily, and pet hair and debris sticks easily. So that's another downside of them not being easily removable. For the most part it does seem pretty stable. The poles seem to be pretty uniform in length so they're all making contact with my floor. Obviously this isn't structural so it shouldn't be supporting anything, but the two main feet seem to be doing fine with keeping this thing upright. CLOSING THOUGHTS: Really, it's fine for what it is, but it could be better in a lot of little ways and the substandard quality of the instructions just seems unprofessional to me, which is why I'm being so harsh with my rating. Depending on your needs and environment you may want to consider a different option. Preferably one that is made to be disassembled with better materials, and/or one with fabric pieces made to be removed easily.

Not as it seems
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
these are awful... Each individual panel is fine, but when you put it together it can barely stand up, and the clips that hold it together keep popping off. Steer clear of this item.
