Riding the new JP Australia Freestyle 95 in overpowered conditions
A couple of days ago, I received the 2025 JP Australia Freestyle 95. This board comes in the new S-Tec construction making it lighter and a lot more responsive on the water. I tried the board in marginal conditions first and found that it planed through wind lulls a lot easier than the previous model. I also really like the more custom-look design. There's less colour and the whole board looks a lot more like tailored to performance. Then, Saturday came and with it a rather average forecast. We headed to Ahrenshoop just to be surprised with strong winds for 4.0 and a very choppy playground. I didn't even bring the waveboard. So here I was overpowered on 4.4 and the new board. With a balmy 4 degrees, I first had some trouble landing my moves but felt more in tune with the elements as the session went on. I put the camera on the beach and recorded some moves, too. Let's hope for some more good freestyle sessions soon. Be sure to check back here for updates.
