Raised on Australia’s Surf Coast, Jarrod Snow grew up chasing any excuse to be in the water. From SUP and kiting to surfing and foiling, he’s explored almost every water sport along the way since age 10. Passionate about scoring good conditions and a good run as much as about design and everything that makes foiling evolve, Jarrod brings a thoughtful and committed approach to every session. Stoked to have him joining the F-ONE crew!
Jarrod climbed to #3 recently after winning major Australian events such as The Doctor and the West Coast Downwinder. As of the most recent 12-month rolling data, Jarrod is ranked #3 globally in SUP Foil, with 714 points.
How did you get into foiling, and SUP downwinding?
I got introduced to the ocean by my parents when I was about 10 and it pretty much changed everything. From then on, I just wanted to follow my dad and be on the water as much as possible, riding anything I could. I started with SUP, then got into kiteboarding, then surfing, but foiling was always there through my family. As the gear’s progressed, I’ve naturally gravitated more and more toward it, and now it’s a big part of what I do both in the water and with design.
Tell us about your best memory on the water.
It would have to be my first-ever session. I still vividly remember being down on the beach on a warm, sunny, calm day with a massive board and small waves. I remember catching a wave and running the board all the way into the sand not wanting it to end.
What are some of your aspirations for the future?
I’m really driven by design and want to keep pushing the limits of downwind foiling, both in how the equipment performs and how it’s ridden. At the same time, I’m more than motivated to keep progressing my competitive career.
