But: shaper Werner Gnigler has managed to build a piece of sports equipment that is also ideal for beginners. The all-round characteristics make the board the ideal sports tourer, even when the water gets rough.

Conclusion Day trips, training sessions, downwinders - the JP Sportster Allwater is an excellent choice. For those who only want to paddle in shallow water, choose the slightly livelier Sportster Flatwater.

PLUS - Great entry-level sports equipment - Tilt-stable - Excellent all-round tourer - Super carrying handle - Lightweight construction - Windsurfing option

MINUS - No luggage inserts - Somewhat expensive
