Jobe Sports Wakesurfers: Riding the Wake Your Way
Jobe Sports has been a cornerstone of the watersports world since 1974, when the brand was created by former professional skier Jeff Jobe. Over five decades, Jobe has been creating unforgettable moments on the water — growing from humble beginnings to becoming a global leader in watersports. That deep-rooted passion for on-water performance is clearly reflected in their wakesurfer lineup, which is designed to match every rider's style and skill level.
Three Distinct Riding Styles, One Trusted Brand
Jobe wakesurfers fall into three general categories: surf shapes, skimboard shapes, and hybrid shapes that combine both surf and skimboard styles. This range means riders aren't forced to compromise — whether you want the predictable grip of a surf-style board or the loose, trick-friendly feel of a skim board, Jobe has a purpose-built option.
- Surf Style: Wakesurf boards designed in a surf style have the largest total surface area for maximum grippage on the wave. The Jobe Pace Wakesurfer, for example, features a double concave design for enhanced stability and planing, extra tail channels for improved traction, and a machined EVA deck with a tall tail kick for control.
- Skim Style: Skim style wakesurf boards are smaller and take up less surface area, making them more playful in the water — their fins are smaller and their bottom features are fewer, so the board feels loose and more like a skimboard on the wave. The Jobe Raise Wakesurfer is the standout skim option: designed for the perfect skim style experience, it features a thin rail, fast rockerline, and single concave bottom for speed and agility. Its EPS lightweight core and machined grooved EVA deck with tail kick make it a top pick for riders chasing aerial tricks and sharp carving.
- Hybrid Style: A combination between skimboard and surf shaped boards, hybrids are perfect for all levels of riders — more forgiving than the skimboard style while still delivering the speed and push of the surfboard style. The Jobe Laze Wakesurfer exemplifies this approach, as its tapered tail and quad concave deliver superior speed and traction, with 3 FCS compatible fins and high press fibreglass molding for unmatched performance on the water.
Built for Progression and Fun
Recent years have seen wakesurfing explode in popularity, offering a new and entertaining way to enjoy the water — and at a slower speed than wakeboarding, it is usually more beginner friendly, with water conditions that don't have to be perfect. Jobe's wakesurfer lineup acknowledges this spectrum of riders. Jobe's team, mainly consisting of athletes, invests a lot of time and energy in developing products — and the construction details on their wakesurf boards reflect that commitment, from lightweight EPS cores to precision-molded fibreglass and customizable fin setups.
Whether you are just getting comfortable dropping the rope for the first time or you are already stomping shuvits and spins on the wake, the right Jobe board is purpose-built to match where you are in your riding journey.
