Jobe is a water sports brand and manufacturer of products used for wakeboarding, boating and standup paddleboarding. The Jobe headquarters and warehouse for all markets (except Australia and New Zealand) is located in Heerewaarden, Netherlands.[1] For Australia and New Zealand, Jobe is owned by a company called Outdoor Connection Partners, with their main office and warehouse based in Sydney, Australia.
History
[edit]The brand was created in 1974 by former professional skier Jeff Jobe. Jobe skis were shipped all over the world. In 2008 Sport and Recreation Den Bol bought the trademark licenses from Jobe for all markets (except Australia and New Zealand), changed their name into Jobe Sports International and a new Jobe era started. Currently Jobe sells its products worldwide and manufactures products used for the boating, jet ski, cable wakeboarding and stand-up paddling scenes.
