On land: Flatter and wider at the rear, with sharper rails, the Super Sport sets striking accents. The All Ride is more domed at the rear for an even more comfortable stance in the inside position.
On the water: "All Ride" - that actually sounds far too good for the blue and yellow JP. Because not only can you surf almost anywhere with this board, it is also really lively. Good riders in particular will love the lively, agile feel, how easily the board reacts to foot control, how tightly it can be wound into a turn and how easily it pops out of the water. The All Ride - alongside the Tabou 3S and Starboard Kode - emerges from the test as one of the most versatile boards, with a successful mix of high performance and nimble jibing qualities. The light board hangs directly and very freely on the foot, even unpleasant choppy waves simply rush under you at top speed, and the particularly comfortable standing position on the narrower tail, both in the outside and inside loops, makes it easier to control the lively board. However, the All Ride is most fun to throw yourself into jibes at full throttle or to carve 360s, which the shape is particularly good at. The cornering speed is high, the board planes perfectly and conveys exactly the amount of liveliness that a good surfer enjoys: Namely, actively stabilising the board on the rail while remaining in control at all times.
