2015 Board Test – Jobe
JOBE PITCH 140
Length: 140cm
Width: 17”
Rocker: 2.7” continuous
MSRP: $440
What the pro says:
“The Pitch is a perfectly designed wakeboard for riders who are into charging into kickers and air tricks. The flex combined with unique channels creates the perfect board for park riders who do it all: air tricks, presses on rails, and going big.” – Julian Cohen
Tester Comments:
“Really good pop and fun on the rails.” – Marc
“The longer nose and tail make it easier for pressing and locking into rails.” – Pierce
“Fun shape that’s easy to press.” – Gunner
JOBE PROLIX 138
Length: 138cm
Width: 16.5”
Rocker: 2.7” hybrid
MSRP: $330
What the catalog says:
“This new board in the lineup features a tried and true shape without molded fins, giving it a thin tip and tail… and what does a thinner tip and tail get you? Yes, more flex! We shaped the Prolix’s tip and tail with a triple flat spot, making it super solid when pressing on rails.”
Tester Comments:
“Good pop, but very loose.” – Marc
“This board is loose, so take a shorter cut with it up the wake. It’s fast so you don’t need a long edge.” – Pierce
“Like a sports car. Fun, but also dangerous.” – Cody
