Seabreeze Forums! - WindSurfing JP Speed 54 v JP Slalom 54
Sorry to bore you but we're a little bit quiet at work today so I've been doing some checking of some my kit for Sandy Point.
2 fast boards within a litre of each other with some big differences.
54 Slalom
1' = 34cm, 2' = 45.3cm with 1cm of rail tuck at the widest point.
Bottom shape is single concave into double almost to the tail.
54 Speed
1' = 33cm, 2' = 42.2cm with 1.8cm of rail tuck at the widest point.
Slight double concave with slight chine fading to v.
I've used the slalom and loved it.
She was a dream in the chop but it looking at the Speed 54 it should almost as sweet in rough water despite less nose rocker and quicker down a course.
Bring on the smaller ones and Sandy Point with wind.

Hi Martin, the nose rocker is 3cm less on the speed board at 15.5cm than the slalom.
HI Matthew, from the 2' mark towards the tail the concaves have gone just leaving subtle V.
Try it out at the speed fortnight if you can get the boys from our house of it.
Sam.

Thanks Sam , I have an 85 litre Slalom/Speed design in the CAD tube that I hope to get built.
I was a bit unsure as to how much nose rocker to put in it as I want to use it on the bay as well as at the Pit.
If it was for the Pit only I would go 135mm but thats too low for open water.
155 might be OK. My big Slalom is 170.
Thanks, Regards Martin

The slalom is longer...
How much nose rocker at an equivalent distance from the tail compared to the speed 54?
I note Antoine had a speed 53 at le Defi (as well as a 45 and 49).
So are the smaller ones going to be slightly different to his boards (protos?) as well?

Are you talking about the Dakines?
I am sure I went looking for them in the shop and I am sure they didn't stock them the last time I looked.
Must be an optical error or something...

Don't know what you're talking about Larko.
The good news is that we will get DaKine back in store over the next few weeks.
Will check the rocker closer a bit later on.

Yo Sam have you used the JP speed yet in real conditions ?
Had a quick go in Fiji on the 54 ( you wimped out !), but light wind & only on the Hellcat .
It did plan very early and felt very comfortable in the chop .
Would be interested in your thoughts .

HI Al,
Can't wait to get it on the water but sadly Sydney has dishing up no wind at all lately.
Let you know when I've had a spin.
Sam.

Has anybody been able to compare the JP 54 speed and 54 slalom?
Would be interested to hear you thoughts
