Almost two decades as a pro rider and still riding strong, we’re surprised JP hasn’t hung up his boots and bought a flat in a Malibu retirement complex. Only joking, JP is a legend of the sport and a true pioneer of the jibbing movement. Does anybody remember his section in Simple Pleasures? That last handrail was utterly unbelievable at the time. Anyway enough retrospect, JP’s pro model is very much in 2011. Its Zero Camber profile will provide pop for high and low speed tricks and maximise board/rail contact. The Kevlar reinforcement cancels out chatter for high speed stability and the Park Formula sidewalls should keep the edges crack free a little longer.

Manufacturer's Description:

JP’s newest TWIN pro model has updated impact absorbing park formula sidewalls and a snag free base. This board comes with ZERO CAMBER and a kicker III core that is reinforced with KEVLAR strips for a stable flex pattern that will last. The Armadillo plate binding reinforcement will keep the inserts in check against blowouts. With a whopping 28 inserts in this board you should be able to mount any stance you like. Like JP, this board can destroy anything from park to street rails and powder.
