Has anyone had much experience with the JP line of foil boards of the last couple of years?
Are they much better than just using a fin board? (worth the expense of another board).
I've read all the reviews I can find, but there's always a marketing push behind any review.
I'm looking at the JP wood pro 133 specifically, and pairing it with a NP Flight FR foil.
I'm a seasoned, (but rusty) slalom sailor, and amateur foiler (mostly kite-foiling), looking to try windsurf foiling again.
I tried the Neil Pryde Pinky foil years ago, but ended up selling it before I trashed my beloved slalom boards, (Pre foil-approved boxes).
Has the equipment improved as much in recent years as the manufacturers claim?
Any feedback appreciated.

Cheers.

Thanks mate, I'm looking to go for the free ride foil and board. Middle of the range, not beginner, but not race.
Something that I will not out grow.
Nico Prien has a good review on his Youtube channel on the three different foils.
I'm glad you said that foils have improved, because that pinky foil I had was pretty hard to tame.

It looks to me like that's a foil capable fin board? Can we talk you into getting a dedicated foil board?

This is the one I'm looking at.
I wouldn't call it a fin board. Looks pretty foil dedicated to me.
Unless you know something I don't.

Yes they are dedicated foil boards for sure and Wood is the best construction
I sent you PM regarding the gear
Cheers
