JOBE SPORTS CHIPPER SIZE: 100

Sizing Info For Hybrid Boards

In the Hybrid Board category, "sizing" is less about the physical length of the board and more about the displacement and surface area required to support the rider's weight. Because these boards are designed for multiple stances (kneeling, standing, or lying down), choosing the right model ensures the board stays on "plane" without the tender having to struggle at high speeds.

1. Jobe Chipper (The compact spinner)
Physical Size: 100 cm | 39.4"

Surface Area: High (Circular)

Weight Limit: Up to 100 kg | 220.5 lbs

Best Fit: * Children & Teens: Its small diameter makes it easy for shorter arms to reach the side handles.

Casual Adults: While it can hold a 100 kg adult, its short length makes it "twitchy." It is best suited for adults who want to play and spin rather than those looking for long-distance cruising.

2. Jobe Stimmel (The family workhorse)
Physical Size: 150 cm | 59"

Surface Area: Very High

Weight Limit: Up to 120 kg | 264.5 lbs

Best Fit: * The "One Size Fits All" Solution: This is the longest board in the range. The extra length provides massive buoyancy, making it the easiest board for heavier guests to get out of the water.

Beginner Stand-Up: Because it has the largest footprint, it is the most stable platform for a guest attempting to transition from kneeling to standing for the first time.

3. Jobe Omnia (The performance hybrid)
Physical Size: 147 cm | 58"

Surface Area: Moderate (Thin Profile)

Weight Limit: Up to 120 kg | 264.5 lbs

Best Fit: * Athletic Adults: Though similar in length to the Stimmel, the Omnia is much thinner and more "knife-like" in the water. It requires a bit more speed to plane, making it perfect for active guests who want a fast, responsive ride.

Space-Saving Inventory: If you need a full-sized adult board but have extremely thin storage lockers, the Omnia’s slim profile is the easiest to tuck away.

Captain’s operational tip

When selecting your inventory, consider the buoyancy-to-speed ratio:

The Stimmel and Chipper are highly buoyant; you can tow them as slowly as 10–12 knots, which is much safer for young children.

The Omnia is a performance tool; it performs best at 15–18 knots. If you tow an Omnia too slowly with a heavy guest, the nose will dive, resulting in a frustrated guest and a soaked deck crew.

Inventory recommendation: If you only have room for one, the Stimmel is the statistically safest bet for a charter yacht because it covers the widest weight range and the most skill levels.

Buying Advice For Hybrid Boards

1. Jobe Chipper: The entry-level entertainer
The Chipper is designed for pure, unadulterated fun. It is the most accessible board in the range and the best choice for younger children or guests who just want to "mess around" without a lesson.

Construction: Rotomolded plastic (hollow and extremely durable).

Key Feature: Completely round bottom with no fins.

The Ride: Very "loose" and slippery. It is designed for spinning 360s and drifting across the wake. It doesn't "edge" like a traditional board.

Best For: Kids, teenagers, and guests who find traditional watersports too intimidating. It’s nearly impossible to fail a start on this board.

Yacht Logic: It’s "bulletproof." You can throw it on the swim platform without worrying about dings or scratches.

2. Jobe Stimmel: The family bridge
The Stimmel is the step-up model that bridges the gap between a plastic toy and a performance board. It’s the "family" choice for a yacht that has a wide age range of guests.

Construction: Injection molded (similar to the Allegre skis).

Key Feature: Fixed fins and a more traditional "board" shape.

The Ride: Much more stable than the Chipper. The fins allow the guest to actually steer and cut across the wake. It provides a more "authentic" boardsports feeling while still allowing for kneeling or sitting.

Best For: Active families and beginners who want to eventually progress to wakeboarding.

Yacht Logic: It fits better in standard board racks than the circular Chipper and offers a more "premium" look on the swim platform.

3. Jobe Omnia: The professional's choice
The Omnia is the flagship. If your vessel expects high-performance equipment that matches the quality of the yacht itself, this is the only choice.

Construction: High-pressure fiberglass sandwich core (the same tech as pro wakeboards).

Key Feature: Ultra-thin profile with sharp, molded-in fins and a high-end EVA deck.

The Ride: Fast, light, and aggressive. It has the best "pop" off the wake and the most grip during turns. While a beginner can still use it, a professional rider can do backflips on an Omnia.

Best For: Athletic guests, owner-operators, and serious watersports enthusiasts.

Yacht Logic: It is the lightest and thinnest of the three, making it the easiest to stow in tight overhead racks. It looks and feels like a piece of high-end marine hardware.expert verdict for your inventory.

Summary

Choose the Chipper if you have a lot of young kids on board and want a toy that requires zero instruction.

Choose the Stimmel if you want the best all-rounder that fits the widest variety of guests and shoe sizes.

Choose the Omnia if you want the "Ferrari" of multi-position boards that will impress even the most experienced riders.

We handle the complex paperwork and customs formalities so that the price you pay covers not just a delivery, but a professional end-to-end logistics service.

Our goal is to deliver the right gear, to the right place, at the best possible value.

Our Price Match Scheme

Our Global Price Match Guarantee

At Yacht Toys, we don't just match the catalogue price, we match the true landed cost of getting your equipment onto your deck (and that makes a BIG difference)..

We know that in the world of international maritime logistics, a "cheap" price online often hides expensive shipping gaps, surprise customs fees, and administrative headaches.

That’s why our guarantee is built on transparency and total service.

The "Landed & Delivered" Promise

We will match any competitor’s total quote, provided it accounts for the same comprehensive level of service that we provide. Our price match is calculated based on the Total Order Value, which includes:

• The Hardware: The total price of your order.
• Managed Freight Services: Professional packaging, specialised maritime handling, and end-to-end tracking.
• International Shipping: Door-to-port or door-to-marina transit costs to your specific global zone.
• Customs Clearance & Documentation: All export/import filings, "Yacht in Transit" paperwork, and administrative fees required for a legal, hassle-free delivery.

How it Works

If you receive a lower formal quote for the same product delivered to your vessel, simply send it to our logistics team. We won't just look at the product price, we will analyze their shipping and tax breakdown to ensure you are comparing apples to apples.

If their total "Landed Cost" is lower than ours, we will match it.

Why This Matters for You

Shipping 5 paddleboards and 4 towable tubes isn't like shipping a parcel. Many retailers leave the difficult bits, like local tax negotiations in Gibraltar or dockmaster coordination in Antigua, to you.

With YachtToys, the price you see is the price to get it through the marina gates. Our experts handle the bureaucracy so you can focus on the guest experience.

Contact our concierge team with your vessel's location and any competing quote. We’ll verify the logistics and ensure you get the best total value in the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Jobe Chipper Multi-Position Board (Product ID: 252525001) is a unique, circular board designed for high-rotation fun. Because it comes with a dedicated handle and rope included, it is a "ready-to-go" solution for yacht guests.

Here is the operational Q&A for the Jobe Chipper.

Inventory & Suitability
Q: What exactly is a "Multi-Position Board"?
A: Unlike a wakeboard or kneeboard which requires a specific stance, the Chipper allows guests to ride in any position they choose—sitting, kneeling, standing, or even lying down. It features a completely round bottom, meaning it has no set "front" or "back" until the guest starts moving. It is designed specifically for drifting, spinning, and casual play rather than high-speed technical riding.

Q: Is the Chipper suitable for adult guests?
A: Yes. While its playful nature makes it a favorite for children, its rotomolded plastic construction is robust enough to handle full-sized adults. Its 100 cm (39.4") diameter provides plenty of surface area to keep adults on plane at relatively low speeds.

Q: Does it require any specialized equipment?
A: No. This specific SKU (252525001) is an all-in-one package that includes the board, a dedicated tow rope, and a handle. The board features an integrated tow point to help beginners get started easily by securing the handle to the board itself.

Operational Logistics & Safety
Q: How does the "round bottom" affect the tender driver's role?
A: Because the Chipper has no fins and a channel-bottom design, it is much more prone to "drifting" side-to-side than a traditional board. Tender drivers should maintain a steady, lower speed (typically 12–15 knots) and avoid sharp turns, as the board will naturally want to slide outward.

Q: Is it easier for guests to get up on than a wakeboard?
A: Significantly. The Chipper is designed for "easy starts." A guest can sit on the board while it's stationary and simply wait for the tender to pull them onto a plane. It removes the vertical struggle of a traditional deep-water wakeboard start.

Q: What are the primary stowage considerations for the crew?
A: The Chipper is made of rotomolded polyethylene, making it incredibly durable and resistant to impact. However, its circular shape doesn't fit standard wakeboard or surfboard racks.

Crew Tip: Use the nylon webbing side handles to secure it with a bungee cord in the tender garage or a vertical storage locker.

Maintenance & Durability
Q: How well does the EVA traction pad hold up in a charter environment?
A: The full-deck EVA traction pad provides excellent grip, but like all foam components, it can be damaged by sharp objects or prolonged UV exposure.

Maintenance: Ensure the crew performs a thorough freshwater flush after every session to prevent salt from drying inside the traction grooves, which can make the pad abrasive over time.

Q: Can the side handles be replaced if they wear out?
A: The handles are made of heavy-duty nylon webbing integrated into the board. While very durable, they should be inspected weekly for any signs of UV rot or fraying. If they become damaged, they are generally not user-replaceable, so protecting the board with a cover when not in use is highly recommended.

Expert Verdict: The Jobe Chipper is the perfect "icebreaker" toy. It’s less intimidating than a wakeboard and more active than a towable tube, making it the ideal choice for guests who want to "do something" but aren't ready for a technical watersports lesson.
