The JP Australia HydroFoil WOOD PRO 2025 is a windfoil board designed for performance foiling with maximum ease of use. It combines a performance-oriented freeride design with race potential, while always maintaining excellent control in flight and during touchdowns. The slim profile, tail with large cut-outs, and Paulownia wood sandwich construction offer efficiency, speed, and stability for both advanced riders and those evolving in foiling.
Key Features
- Performance-oriented freeride design with race potential.
- Very large tail cut-outs to reduce drag when touching the water.
- Ideal mix of foil performance and ease of control.
- Shape derived from JP HydroFoil Slalom boards, but more user-friendly.
- Two sizes: 133 L and 155 L, designed to cover a wide range of wind and rider weights.
Shape and Water Behavior
Shape Concept
The shape of the HydroFoil WOOD PRO 2025 originated as a "reduced" and more accessible version of the JP Performance Foil Race models, with volume and width removed where not necessary. The boards are relatively narrow and compact, with proven proportions and dimensions to ensure control and stability in flight. The reduced length lowers the swing weight, improving foil responsiveness and the feeling of total dominance over the setup, especially at high speeds.
Volume Distribution
The uniform volume distribution contributes to great stability and promotes early take-off, reducing fatigue during the initial foiling phases. The volume in the nose offers additional support for uphaul maneuvers, making it more practical to lift the sail even on short boards. This mix of volumes allows for versatile use, from fast freeride to more extreme outings with large sails.
Tail Cut-outs and Control
The large tail cut-outs are designed to drastically reduce the surface area in contact with the water during touchdowns and transition phases between flight and planing. In practice, the board takes off earlier, with less drag and a smoother landing feel, allowing the rider to maintain control and speed even in difficult conditions or intense chop.

Available Sizes and Specifications
133 L Version
The 133 L represents the third generation of the shape that started the JP foil hype: it is the most versatile size, with a very wide wind range. It adapts to most rider weights and skill levels, working well with almost all sail sizes, except for extremely large or small ones. It is the ideal "one-board-quiver" for the windfoiler looking for a single board capable of covering many situations.
- Volume: 133 L
- Length: 215 cm
- Width: 84 cm
- Weight: 8.4 kg
- Fin Box: Foil-Tuttlebox
- Recommended sail: 4.5 – 8.6 m²
- Ideal sail: 5.5 – 8.0 m²
155 L Version
The 155 L was originally designed as a foil racing board, but its dimensions and volume have been "compacted" to make it an easy-to-handle and fun freerace foil. It remains a board with a long range of use, particularly suitable for lightwind spots, heavier riders, or large sails. Thanks to the 6-hole footstrap connector, it offers advanced customization of strap positions to adapt to very different sail and foil profiles.
- Volume: 155 L
- Length: 215 cm
- Width: 89 cm
- Weight: 8.9 kg
- Fin Box: Foil-Tuttlebox

- Recreational foil racing and training sessions with a focus on speed, control, and stability.
Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the practical difference between 133 L and 155 L?
The 133 L is the most versatile size, suitable for a wide wind range and most rider weights, ideal as a "one-board" for those who foil in variable conditions. The 155 L has a more race DNA, designed for lightwind, heavy riders, or very large sails, but remains easy and fun thanks to its reduced volume and dimensions.
Is this board suitable for beginners in foiling?
The HydroFoil WOOD PRO 2025 is more suitable for riders who already have some foiling experience and want a board with superior performance and more control at high speeds. For a very first approach to foiling, a board with higher volume and a more forgiving shape might be preferable, then transitioning to the WOOD PRO when seeking more efficiency and responsiveness.
What advantages does the Paulownia WOOD PRO construction offer compared to a standard construction?
The Paulownia wood sandwich combined with targeted reinforcements guarantees torsional rigidity and durability, while keeping the board relatively light. In addition, the wood provides vibration absorption that improves comfort while riding, while the rail and nose reinforcements protect the board from typical foiling impacts, such as touchdowns and crashes.
Is the board compatible with all Foil-Tuttle foils?
The board uses a robust Foil-Tuttlebox and follows the most common standard for windsurf foils. Generally, it is compatible with most Foil-Tuttle foils; however, it is recommended to check the foil's specifications (screw length, plates, any shims) to ensure correct mounting and maximum performance.
Can I use very large sails on these boards?
Yes, especially on the 155 L, which is specifically designed to work well with large sail areas and heavy riders in light wind conditions. The 133 L still efficiently supports sails up to approximately 8.6 m², remaining the most versatile size for all-round use.
How easy is control in difficult conditions or with chop?
The compact design, uniform volume distribution, and large tail cut-outs promote excellent control even in choppy conditions. The board remains stable in flight and softens touchdowns, helping the rider maintain speed and direction in critical conditions without losing the feeling of security.
Is it a board suitable for training sessions and amateur racing?
Yes, the freeride performance DNA, derived from the JP Slalom Foil shapes, makes the HydroFoil WOOD PRO 2025 perfect for those who want to train on speed and foil management even in an amateur race context. At the same time, the ease of control makes it usable in more relaxed freeride sessions, always maintaining excellent performance.
