Test 2017 - All-round boards: JP-Australia Cruisair SE 11'6'' x 30''
The JP-Board Cruisair SE 11'6" is extremely light and hangs particularly sporty and fast on the foot.

The evenly slim, forward-running shape not only conveys good speed visually, but also runs through the water with little resistance. With the stretched outline (comparatively long and narrow), the board looks the sportiest together with the RRD. The moderately wide tail is well designed, so the board is quite stable in the water, but can still be turned easily and smoothly. There is still enough space and stability, both during crossbow turns and when you dare to take a long step backwards. The board is only five inches thick, which makes for a sporty, lower stance, but gives way more noticeably under heavy riders weighing over 85kg. The six-inch thick LE version should be of interest to them.

PLUS Very sporty, yet stable; super lightMINUS With a thickness of five inches for heavy paddlers weighing 90 kilos or more, it has a slightly softer feel

CONCLUSION The JP is a super fast touring and fitness board with good all-round characteristics. Its low weight makes it a good, particularly sporty recommendation for lighter paddlers.

Deputy Editor in Chief surf

Stephan Gölnitz comes from Bochum and had Holland as his home windsurfing territory for many years before moving to Munich in 1996 for the job of test editor at surf magazine. The materials engineering graduate worked as a surf instructor on the Ijsselmeer during his studies and competed for several seasons for the Essen sailing team in the Surfbundesliga and the Funboard Cup. He completed a traineeship at surf-Magazin in the test department and since then has actively accompanied almost all tests on the boom and for more than 10 years also as a photographer. Stephan has covered many thousands of test kilometers, mainly on Lake Garda and in Langebaan, but also in Egypt and Tobago. He gets his hands on over 100 new sails and boards every year as his company car. Privately, he prefers to surf with a foil on Lake Walchensee or “unfortunately far too rarely” in the waves. SUP is Stephan's second passion, which he pursued for several years at numerous SUP races. Today, he prefers to paddle on river tours with family or friends - even for several days.
