The Reale Deal Show #95- Jacob Reeve

One of the most iconic rippers in the sport during the 90s and early 2000s, Santa Barbara's Jacob Reeve had all the talent and skill to be a dominant figure on the world stage. But his sponsors had other ideas. Jacob tore the bag out of his local spots and together, helped cement the reputation of a group of riders north of Los Angeles as...to use a cliche...a force to be reckoned with.
Jacob talks about his bodyboarding days, including his first time pulling off an ARS, BEFORE Eppo introduced it to the world, and how he came up with the idea, and spans his more recent life as a business owner, father, husband and a man deeply committed to his faith.

Great interview with Jacob. Thanks for the mention Jacob. That was such a fun time up there while I was going to Brooks in Santa Barbara. Jacob and Kyle and I got some fun waves together.

I lived in Santa Barbara from 1995-1998 and had so many EPIC sessions with Jacob/Phil out. Great waves, great memories. Jacob always inspired me to go bigger/go harder.

[@pablolandriz1179]

Can confirm Jacob did the ARS first.. we called it the zerm at Emma wood. Pretty sure we can also say that Jake did the first back flip too... Jake was a pioneer for the sport for sure.

With the success of bodyboard holidays, wondering if Jacob has any interest in bringing back bodyboard expeditions? Great interview though ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
