Jobe Neva 12 ft 6 Inflatable Paddleboard Package - 2025

The Jobe Neva 12 ft 6 Inflatable Paddleboard Package is a premium, high-performance touring setup engineered for paddlers who want to maximize glide, efficiency, and speed over long distances. Designed with a streamlined touring shape, the Neva balances advanced technical construction with real-world practicality, making it ideal for exploring rivers, lakes, estuaries, and sheltered coastlines.

Key Performance Features

• Heat-Bonded Technology: Built using Jobe’s premium heat-bonded construction, which uses machine pre-lamination rather than manual gluing. This results in a structurally stiffer hull with exceptional layer quality and significant weight savings, making it incredibly light to carry.

   

• Lightweight X-Dropstitching: Utilizing an internal "X" dropstitch pattern rather than vertical nylon threads, the board drops weight while increasing high-pressure rigidity across its entire length.

   

• Dual Top & Bottom Stringers: A continuous nylon stringer runs down both the deck and the underside of the board. This double-stringer configuration radically minimizes deck deflection under rider weight, optimizing stiffness and control.

   

• Tail Diffusor & Traction Rail: Features a sharp tail diffusor to release water cleanly from the rear edge, increasing top-end speed and efficiency. The underside traction rail aids in tracking and control, keeping the board pointed straight between paddle strokes.

   

• 8” EZ Lock Fin System: A completely tool-less, hassle-free fin system. The 8-inch fin securely clicks and locks into place within seconds without the risk of losing small plates or thumb screws.

   

• Comfort and Convenience: Equipped with a 5mm thick, soft, non-slip EVA foam deckpad for long-distance comfort, a bungee storage net for securing gear, and an easy-to-carry neoprene handle that features an integrated paddle holder.

   

The Complete Adventure Bundle

The package includes premium-tier accessories so you are completely ready to head straight to the water:

1. Adjustable Stream Paddle: A 3-piece paddle featuring a lightweight and responsive 40% carbon shaft blend.

    

2. Waterproof Backpack: A heavy-duty waterproof carry backpack to comfortably transport and protect your kit anywhere.

    

3. Double Action Pump: Engineered to cut inflation times in half by pushing air into the board on both the upward and downward strokes.

    

4. Safety Gear: Features a 10ft coiled safety leash alongside a Quick Release Waist Belt for proper safety protocol on moving waters.
