Key Features

Featherlight and solid
The JIVE ACE takes the proven JIVE shape and pairs it with a top tier, ultra light carbon construction. The result is a board that feels featherlight underfoot, highly responsive, and built for riders who want the lightest possible setup that still lasts.

Early and efficient lift

The long and narrow mid length shape generates speed effortlessly, helping you get up on foil with minimal effort. Compared to more traditional board shapes, the JIVE ACE allows you to get riding with less effort.

Agile and responsive
By positioning the foil box further forward and adding extra board length behind the foil, the JIVE ACE keeps swing weight low. It feels snappy in turns and responsive to rider inputs.

Great stability
The volume is well balanced through the centre of the board, helping keep things stable in the water. Tucked in rails let the board sit deeper when off foil, adding stability while not on foil.

Quick rebound
The diamond shaped nose and rocker help the board recover quickly from touchdowns, keeping you moving and helping you stay on foil.

Radical carving
The JIVE’s spacious deck extends all the way to the rails, giving you plenty of room to position your feet for maximum control. This allows for precise foot placement, enabling smooth, powerful carves and radical turns.

Lightwind foiling
Minimal drag and excellent planing make it easy to build speed and take off, even in marginal conditions, allowing you to get the most out of light wind sessions.

Race foiling
The pintail design makes it easy to pump and generate speed, allowing you to ride a smaller foil.

Tech Features

Premium ultra-light carbon construction
What sets the JIVE ACE apart is its incredibly lightweight carbon laminate. It is strong, responsive, and featherlight.

Foil box position
The foil box is positioned further forward, while the extra board length is placed behind the foil. This keeps the board responsive and helps minimise swing weight.

Footstrap options
All boards are equipped with inserts for 2 front and 1 back foot straps. Well positioned for comfortable riding.

Convenient carrying
Handle on the bottom of the board for convenient carrying with mounted foil.
