JP X-Winger IPR 2024

X - WINGER

Our all-new X-Winger boards are longer and narrower compared to their predecessors. They feature many new shape details which make them more versatile and agile providing a better and smoother handling overall. Most importantly they are much more efficient and superior in all aspects supporting the performance of the board.

The longer, narrower hull and the flat nose rocker provide a better glide, accelerating quicker, allowing an easier take-off with a smooth transition into flight mode. The clearly defined rails help transferring the lift created by the bottom surface efficiently into buoyancy which additionally supports the take-off. These shape features work together improving additional characteristics:

On occasional touchdowns the board bounces off the water surface gently and smoothly without losing speed and in this respect is significantly more efficient and comfortable than its predecessor.

The nose outline is pulled-in to reduce the swing weight and improve the airflow. To compensate for the lower volume of the pulled-in nose outline, we added slightly more thickness in this area. Still, the narrower nose results in a lighter feel and a more agile ride.

The slightly concave standing area provides a direct feel over the foil.

The tail features more rocker. Once in the air, this additional bottom curve lifts the nose resulting in a better flight position of the board. This reduces unwanted contact with the water when flying and provides a more comfortable stance. On top of that it creates more pop for jumps and generates extra hight.

The X-Wingers feature unique tail cut-outs this year! They reduce volume and bottom width in the tail area allowing for a more efficient pumping motion in order to generate the required lift via the foil. You also can rail the board up harder during turns without the tail catching. On occasional touchdowns, the cut-outs help reduce drag and maintain speed.

Technical details

The boards feature long track boxes providing a big tuning range for the foil. The tracks are embedded in PU blocks running all the way from deck to bottom and creating a extremely stable construction.

Additionally, the boards come with high density PVC panels in deck and bottom offering an unmatched ratio of stiffness and low weight in connection with the Innegra rail reinforcement.
