JOBE Wakeboard Prolix is an energetic all-around bootboard for riders who want more pop and precision without losing their margin. The twin-tip shape feels instantly familiar on deep-water starts and picks up speed smoothly, while the rocker line smoothly cuts through chop and dampens landings when you come in too flat. Shaped channels under the board guide the water tightly for course keeping and keep the tail quiet as you build power toward the lip. The flex is balanced: enough stiffness in the middle for direct drive and faster edging, with forgiving tips that catch mistakes on first wake-to-wake attempts. On Dutch lakes and ponds, you'll notice how the Prolix stays still sailing when wind and stern waves change, so you can consistently work on timing, line selection and height. Switch feels as natural as regular, so 180s and quick directional changes take less energy and you stay sharp for longer in a session.

In practice, you get a deck that grows with your technique. The board gives clear feedback when you load the side, makes pop predictable and helps you hold speed in the air, making landings more controlled on the downface of the wake. The core is light and dimensionally stable and the laminate maintains its rigidity after many sessions and rinses, while rounded edges reduce the chance of bites at slower speeds or slack lines. Removable fins give extra security if you want it, or you can leave them out for a looser feel and faster transitions. Adjustment is hassle-free thanks to clear stance markings and multiple insert positions; so you can quickly find your width and angles to distribute pressure evenly across both feet. Those coming off an entry-level board and ready for more height, control and flow will find a down-to-earth upgrade in the Prolix that makes progression instantly noticeable.
