WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take.
The Jobe Charge is the binding we'd choose when control, support and a precise fit matter more than easy shared sizing. The closed-toe construction gives a much more direct connection to the board, while the moulded foam liner, ergonomic footbed and 3D tongue keep it impressively comfortable. J-bars secure the ankle and reduce unwanted heel movement, while Stiffy Plates add stability when you're edging hard or landing with more force. For intermediate and advanced riders wanting a serious Jobe performance binding, the Charge is the standout choice.
✓
BEST FOR
Intermediate to advanced riders wanting strong support, precise fit and responsive board control
×
NOT IDEAL FOR
Beginners, shared boards or riders wanting the forgiving fit and easy sizing of an open-toe binding
★
WHY WE STOCK IT
Why it earned a place at WakeShop.
We stock the Charge because it gives progressing and advanced riders a genuine performance option within the Jobe range. The secure closed-toe fit, J-bars, dual-lace adjustment and added stability from the Stiffy Plates create a noticeably more precise connection to the board than Jobe's open-toe alternatives.
