JOBE
Jobe Encore Slalom Waterski
High-End Single Slalom Ski for Advanced Riders
The Jobe Encore is Jobe's high-end slalom ski — built for skilled single-ski riders who want a responsive, fast, edge-locked carve behind a superyacht tender. The 67" blank pairs a PU core with 50/50 carbon-infused fibreglass to deliver the stiffness-to-weight ratio a sport-level slalom skier expects, while the back-bone V-tech and 3-stage flex pattern hold the line through hard cuts without chattering off the wake.
An edge-to-edge concave base and competition tail give the Encore the kind of bite and release that lets advanced guests slot the ski cleanly into the buoy line and exit the wake fully loaded. At 6.5" (16.5 cm) wide, the Encore is the narrowest, most performance-oriented slalom in Jobe's range — the natural step up from the Baron for guests who have outgrown intermediate kit. Bindings are sold separately so the rider can specify the boot system that matches their stance and skill.

Carbon-Infused Stiffness, Slalom Weight
The Encore wraps a PU core in 50/50 carbon-infused fibreglass — a lay-up Jobe builds for sport-level riders who need stiffness exactly where it matters. The 3-stage flex pattern keeps the spine locked through the load of a hard cut while leaving the tip and tail soft enough to release cleanly out of the wake.
Edge-to-Edge Concave + Competition Tail
The full edge-to-edge concave base channels water under the ski for traction through the buoy line, while the competition tail releases on demand at the apex of the turn. This is what separates a sport-level slalom from a recreational single ski — the Encore is built to be loaded hard, not floated through the wake.
Back-Bone V-Tech Spine
Jobe's back-bone V-tech is a structural spine running the length of the ski for added stiffness and responsiveness. On the Encore it shows up as instant edge change — the rider rolls the ski, the spine resists twist, and the carve initiates without the lag you get from a softer recreational shape.
Why the Jobe Encore for an Advanced Single-Ski Programme?
Most yacht water-toy lockers are stocked for the median guest — combo skis, towables, an e-foil for the brave. The Encore is for the other guest: the owner, charter principal, or family member who already knows how to slalom and wants a ski that responds the moment they roll an edge. Jobe positions the Encore as their high-end slalom ski for genuine slalom skiers, and the spec sheet backs that up: a PU core wrapped in 50/50 carbon-infused fibreglass, a back-bone V-tech spine, a 3-stage flex, and the narrowest 6.5" chassis in the Jobe slalom range. This is a single ski built to be loaded, not babied.
For superyacht operators, carrying a single advanced slalom alongside the recreational kit makes operational sense. Most guests will run the Allegre combo or stay on the Baron at intermediate speed. But for the advanced rider on board, having a real slalom — with edge-to-edge concave and a competition tail — turns a forgettable swim-platform session into the highlight of the trip. The Encore is the ski that lets the captain say yes when the principal asks for a single, not a pair. It also signals a tier of seriousness in the toy locker that matches the rest of the yacht.
Mercer Yachting supplies the Jobe Encore from Malta through authorised channels with full manufacturer documentation. Our team dispatches to every Mediterranean yachting hub — Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Monaco, Genoa, Athens, and Split — with worldwide air and sea freight to any nominated agent or alongside delivery. Because Jobe sells the Encore as a blank ski (bindings sold separately), we can quote it on its own or bundled with a Jobe Comfort Slalom Binding and rear toe plate so the Encore arrives at the swim platform ready to ride from day one of the charter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is the Jobe Encore designed for?
Jobe positions the Encore as their high-end slalom ski for genuine slalom skiers — a sport-level ski for advanced single-ski riders. It is the top of Jobe's slalom hierarchy above the Baron (recreational/intermediate). If a rider is still learning to drop a ski or only just running a single, the Baron is the better starting point; the Encore is built for guests who already know how to load an edge through a turn.
What length does the Jobe Encore come in?
The Encore is offered in a single 67" length per Jobe's product listing. Sizing on a slalom ski is driven primarily by rider weight and boat speed; for a typical adult sport-level rider the 67" chassis is well-matched to the 28–36 mph tow range that suits this style of slalom. Our team can advise if a different ski in the Jobe range is better suited to a heavier or lighter rider.
How is the Jobe Encore constructed?
The Encore is built around a PU core wrapped in 50/50 carbon-infused fibreglass, with a 3-stage flex pattern, a back-bone V-tech spine running the length of the ski, an edge-to-edge concave base, and a competition tail. It is manufactured on 100% solar power at Jobe's facility in the Netherlands.
What is the difference between the Jobe Encore and the Jobe Baron?
The Baron is Jobe's intermediate carving slalom — foam core, high-press fibreglass moulded shape, 7.7" (19.5 cm) wide, available in 67" and 69". The Encore is the sport/advanced step up — PU core, 50/50 carbon-infused fibreglass, 3-stage flex with back-bone V-tech, narrower 6.5" (16.5 cm) chassis, and a competition tail. In short: Baron for the intermediate guest learning the slalom course, Encore for the advanced rider who already runs it.
Are the bindings included with the Encore?
No. The Encore is sold as a blank ski so the rider can choose the boot system that suits their stance and skill. Jobe's recommended pairings on their own product page are the Jobe Comfort Slalom Binding and the Jobe RTP Aluminium rear toe plate. Mercer Yachting can quote either binding combination alongside the Encore for charter-ready delivery.
Is the Jobe Encore right for our charter yacht's toy locker?
Yes — provided you have a guest who can ski it. We typically recommend carrying the Jobe Allegre combo for the median guest and the Encore as a single advanced ski for the owner, charter principal, or skilled guest. Stocking only the Encore would leave most guests under-skied; stocking only combos forces an advanced rider into kit they have already outgrown. The Encore alongside the Allegre or Baron covers both ends of the demand curve.
Where can I buy the Jobe Encore in Malta or the Mediterranean?
Mercer Yachting supplies the Jobe Encore from Malta to every Mediterranean yachting hub — Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Monaco, Genoa, Athens, and Split — with worldwide air and sea freight to any nominated port or yacht agent. Our team in Marsaskala handles authorised-channel sourcing, manufacturer documentation, and binding bundling. Request a quote and we’ll confirm availability and the best delivery window for your charter dates.
Do I need a special tow rope for the Encore?
A standard slalom rope and handle is the right pairing — typically a low-stretch line in the 70–75 ft range with a 12-inch handle. Jobe does not specify a rope length on the Encore product page, but slalom convention is a shorter, lower-stretch line than recreational combo skiing to keep load tight through the turns. Mercer Yachting can supply a matched slalom rope-and-handle bundle on request.
