JP CruisAir LE 12'6 Inflatable SUP Board 2016
IN A NUTSHELL...
The JP CruisAir LE 12'6 Inflatable SUP Board 2016 has proven itself over and over again to be the perfect design for touring, fitness and training. The 2016 CRUISAIR LE construction takes this design to new levels of accessibility. The parallel outline and low rocker combined with ample width and uncluttered standing area makes for one fast and stable board.
Design details
CRUISAIR – TOURING / RACE + FITNESS
This 12’6″x31″ LE is offered to suit any budget and taste. The CRUISAIR LE is perfect for your everyday paddle and can keep up with the rest if you are planning on entering that upcoming race you have been training for.
The LE stands for ‘Light Edition’ – Light weight, Light design and Light on your pocket!
The drop-stich material itself is thinner than our standard JP double-layer edition. Therefore the boards are lighter, yet they retain a very similar stiffness as JP double-layer edition inflatables. This has been achieved with a special lamination bond to Cross-Linked Space Yarn during the material production. The new material that we use for LE boards is not to be compared to the competition ‘single-skin’ inflatables which are often not 100% airtight and are much softer than our stiff LE boards.
The fact that the drop-stitch material itself is thinner carries a risk of an easier damage if the board is not handled with care. Sharp rocks and frequent abrasion on concrete or asphalt may result in damage to the surface easier than with a standard JP double-layer edition board. The advantages of the LE edition include the facts that the boards are almost half the weight of some of the competition boards in the same size. They can be rolled tightly and therefore take almost half the space of some of the competition boards. This led us to developing a more compact bag.
To keep the boards light on your pocket we opted for a minimalist design in white colour. We supply the boards with high pressure single-stroke pump and they come in single fin option.
The windsurf model comes with an additional centre fin, fin box and a mast plug.
