After 4 years of development, the Ultimate Wave was introduced to the JP range as a successor to the popular Radical Thruster Quad. Its speed, early planing and manoeuvrability made sure it improved on the Radical Thruster Quad in all aspects of wave sailing everywhere from side-on mush to down-the-line perfection.

For 2023, the shape and the features of the board remain unchanged. The Carbon side fins are light, durable and offer excellent speed and responsiveness.
Double foot-strap holes eliminate any chance of the straps twisting, thus ensuring firm and comfortable grip of the feet in the straps.
The foot straps feature measurement markings to allow you to quickly set up your board to your perfect foot strap size.
The thick deck-pad increases comfort and cushions the landing of big jumps and aerials.

The result is a brilliant wave board which feels at home in side-onshore conditions and absolutely excels in side-shore and down-the-line conditions.

Our pro riders tend to choose this board over any other model for PWA and IWT competitions with side-shore wave conditions. The boards perform at their best in all down-the-line locations. Morgan Noireaux won his third Aloha Classic title using the final prototype of the Ultimate Wave 83.

The success of the shape comes from the outline and bottom shape concept. The bottom features a flat V in the front, which transforms into a double concave in the middle, then into a deep single concave under the foot straps and tapers off with a gentle V right at the tail. This creates a flat scoop rocker line in the middle but keeps the curved one on the rail. The flat centre line delivers speed and planing power.

A thin rail shape throughout the board in combination with a soft tuck line makes the board slice through the wave face providing the grip and rail bite everybody is looking for.

The quad fin setup enhances top-end wave performance and the 5-fin box setup enables tuning to personal preferences (thruster, twinser and single fin use), giving the boards greater range of use from onshore to down-the-line conditions. Plugs are provided to cover the boxes not used.
