After almost two decades at the forefront of snowboarding culture and more ‘cover shots’ than any other snowboarder in history; JP knows better than any rider out there how to design a snowboard. This years JP Walker comes with a zero camber profile and triaxial glass for added press-ability, manoeuvrability and torsional flex. But all you camber lovers out there shouldn’t worry because the JP has not lost any of the pop that last years model had in abundance; this years JP Walker has been given lightweight Kevlar reinforcements to counter the effects of zero camber.

The JP Walker is the ultimate snowboard for any aspiring pro’s out there; at home in the park, in the backcountry and on the streets……..we almost forgot to mention the amazing Rasta-inspired graphics that will definitely be at home on any Cali chairlift. Uhhhh son!

Manufacturer's Description:

JP wanted to switch things up a bit with the flex and feel of his board this year. After testing many camber and reverse camber boards he chose to go with an ideal camber for his riding style, which is zero camber. We also added Kevlar reinforcements to the core. The Kevlar reinforcements prevent the board from “noodling out” on high impact landings and high speed turns and is still flexible on 5-0’s or presses. The core consists of tip to tail Poplar and Beech wood. This is a high end pro model board with Triaxial glass and a speedy structurn base. The JP Board also has 28 inserts for maximum stance options. Get IRIE mon on dis board.
