WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take.
The Jobe Unit is a great example of an open-toe binding done properly. It's comfortable, forgiving and extremely easy to live with, while the adjustable sizing makes it ideal for progressing riders or boards used by more than one person. The durable EVA liner keeps things comfortable, stretchy flex panels allow plenty of movement and the simple single-lace system makes getting ready straightforward. It won't give you the precision or locked-in response of a premium closed-toe boot, but for progression, recreational riding and shared setups, the Unit makes a lot of sense.
✓
BEST FOR
Beginner to intermediate riders, shared setups and anyone prioritising comfort and easy adjustment
×
NOT IDEAL FOR
Advanced riders wanting maximum response, precise sizing 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 Unit because it covers one of the most important jobs in a binding range extremely well. It's comfortable, simple to adjust and accommodates a broad range of foot sizes, making it ideal for newer riders, progressing wakeboarders and families or friends sharing the same setup.
