Jobe Rogue suitable ski?

[Guest]

Hi! I’m new to this forum and need your help. I have the chance to buy a 2013 Jobe rogue ski very cheap and almost unused but I don’t know if it is a suitable ski for me. I am mostly freeskiing but want to start skiing in the course more often as well. I would say I’m an intermediate skier and have been skiing for 6 years. Currently I’m on a 90s Ho Turbo (dont laugh) but need something better. Thanks for your help!

That Jobe is such an old ski with old technology. Do yourself a favor and get something newer. I would suggest a HO Carbon Omni. Its a great ski that will work great both open water and in the course. Plus it will give you plenty of headroom as you progress and improve.

Ok thanks Garn I have been thinking about a carbon Omni as well but it’s just out of my budget

What is your budget? Check Ski it Again always for good deals on modern used equipment .

Thanks for the link seems like a decent ski even if it’s not new anymore in 2022

@MDB1056 around 500€. I live in Austria so I can’t use Ski it again

[MDB1056]

Yes that’s a factor indeed. Would agree with your comment above- a sound review of the Jobe- enjoy it. Definitely a leap ahead of the 90’s HO

Yea thanks I think I will buy it

Buy it.... if you have not already. It is a good ski. Sounds like a killer price. Do what keeps you happy and on the water.

Thanks Wish I just bought it

In Australia Jobe ski's wore very popular about 10 years ago but they have really dropped off but the roague was a good ski

That original Rogue is a fantastic ski. If it's in good condition I would jump on it.

@Garn The rogue is a all carbon PVC core ski not some old relic.
