All-Wave All-Rounder A Magic formula for the perfect performance mix Designing the next evolution in waveboards is no easy task. A great board must adapt to individual riding styles while performing across an incredibly wide range of conditions. With such a high bar set with the Ultimate Wave range next to it, the challenge was to develop a board that could stand proudly beside it—yet become the top choice for our team riders in their tour quiver to outperform their competitors also in less-than-ideal conditions. After countless hours of testing and refining multiple prototypes, we discovered a shape that not only met our expectations—but exceeded them. Effortless planing, explosive drive, and seamless control—this is where the new Magic Wave truly lives up to its name. Incredibly fast onto the plane and with unmatched upwind performance, this board lets you position yourself perfectly to catch every wave. Once you’re on it, the board unfolds its MAGIC: whether you’re doing upwind turns or riding down-the-line, the Magic Wave delivers unmatched acceleration and flow through every transition. Front foot or back foot—it adapts to your stance and style, giving you full confidence in every section of the wave. S-TEC: This year, the standout detail is our groundbreaking S-TEC technology, introduced for the first time in the JP lineup. The weight saving is impressive: This generation of Magic Wave boards is about 500 grams lighter! This is achieved through several key changes: * No paint * Reduction of anti-slip, used only in standing areas * Smaller pads – less EVA and less glue * Elimination of the rear centre fin box* Refined custom lamination process, with fibres prepared and laminated separately The durability maintained at the proven level by replacing the Innegra material with more high-quality S-glass, combined with Biax-Carbon reinforcements and UD Carbon layers underneath the high density PVC. Additionally, the bottom laminate no longer stops at the tuck line but wraps around the rail. Together with the overlapping deck laminate, it acts as an additional stringer along the rails, providing more rigidity and strengthening the rail simultaneously. This not only creates a totally new look, but being more than a half kilogram lighter delivers a new riding sensation! Shaper Werner Gnigler updated the outline of the Magic Wave what brings a new balance between control and manueverbility. A wider tail with the familiar swallow tail improves early planing and enhances maneuverability, especially for radical turns in smaller waves. A slightly narrower nose adds precision without compromising overall stability. Also Floating balance was a key design focus, helping riders cross white water more easily and get onto the plane faster, even in marginal conditions. A more centered balance point allows for quicker rotations and more radical transitions on the wave. With stance and fin boxes shifted further back, the board delivers powerful back foot turns while maintaining exceptional control on the wave. The more parallel tail outline adds grip and precision, supporting both front and back foot riding styles. The bottom shape has also been redefined. The proven concept—separating the flatter center scoop rocker line from the rail line—remains, but with refinements. Increased V in the front adds extra rail curve, making sharp turns smoother and an even more comfortable ride in choppy conditions. Further performance gains come from tuning the footstrap and fin box positions. These details combine to deliver a Magic Wave that’s more reactive, more versatile, and simply more fun—whatever the conditions will have to offer. Tech Features: * S-glass technology* High-density PVC in complete deck and bottom * Double Carbon reinforcements in the foot strap area * Biax-Carbon reinforcements in the whole standing area * UD Carbon X-wrapping layers increase torsional stiffness and reinforce the standing area * Fully overlapping parabolic S-Glass rail construction * Omega Stringers in the bottom made of high-density PVC reinforced with UD carbon * Thruster fin setup * Fin positioning scale * Double Footstrap Plugs * Footstrap with scale* New Sail Positioning Scale JP’s most versatile wave board just got even better: now available in the fetherlight S-TEC construction, the new Magic Wave takes your performance to the next level. With an updated shape for faster planing, improved control, and unmatched flow, it excels from small onshore waves to solid down-the-line conditions. A refined outline and bottom shape boost maneuverability and precision, while key construction tweaks cut weight by over half a kilo. One board. All conditions. Feel the MAGIC – redefined!
