WAKESHOP VERDICT

Our take.

The Jobe Host is all about making wakeboarding easy. The Velcro strap closure is incredibly quick to use, while the open-toe design accommodates a broad range of foot sizes and makes the binding ideal for shared boards. Underfoot, the ergonomic footbed, soft foam liner and heel pads keep things comfortable, while stretchy flex panels provide enough movement to keep the ride forgiving. It isn't designed to deliver the precision of a closed-toe performance boot, but for family boats, progressing riders and anyone who values simplicity, the Host is a brilliant option.
BEST FOR
Beginner to intermediate riders, family boats and shared setups where comfort and fast entry are priorities
×
NOT IDEAL FOR
Riders wanting maximum response, precise foot retention or the locked-in feel of a performance closed-toe binding
WHY WE STOCK IT

Why it earned a place at WakeShop.

We stock the Host because sometimes the best binding is the one that makes getting on the water easiest. The Velcro closure is exceptionally quick, the broad sizing works brilliantly for shared setups and the soft, comfortable construction makes it approachable for almost any rider.
