Jeff Langley's connection to watersports runs generations deep — born into a family passionate about the sport, he grew up in Georgia at his family's ski school and went on to build an accomplished professional wakeboarding career. His achievements include having pro model wakeboards for a decade, landing the first mute double roll to revert, and consistently ranking in the top ten on the Pro Wakeboard Tour.
Jeff Langley has been wakeboarding since the sixth grade, and he hasn't looked back since. We sat down with the pro wakeboarder to talk about how it all started, what drew him to Team Tigé, and why his Ultré 23ZX might be the best boat he's ever driven.
How did you first get into wakeboarding?
I was pretty young, sixth grade maybe. I came from a water ski background, so when I finally got on a wakeboard, I thought it was the coolest thing to stand sideways on a board.
Was there a moment you knew this was more than just a hobby?
Right out of college, I made my first trip down to Orlando to wakeboard with some friends in the industry. I was hooked from that point on.
What's your favorite trick right now?
The mute double mobes these guys are doing nowadays. I love watching them. As for my own place in the record books, I was the first to land a mute double roll to revert, which is something I'm pretty proud of.
What made you want to join Team Tigé?
The Ultré first caught my eye a couple of years ago at a boat show. Shortly after, I met Charlie Pigeon, and once I got to know his history in the industry and learned that Tigé is family-owned and operated, I was all in. There's something special about that — it felt like a natural fit rooted in shared values and genuine connections, especially given my own generational ties to the industry.
What are your favorite features on the Ultré 23ZX?
The electric steering is incredible. It makes driving a boat all day so much more enjoyable. The UltréChill fridge is an awesome feature too. Really, the entire UltréLounge rocks, but not having to worry about ice is pretty sweet.
What's a favorite memory from the lake?
There are so many. A couple of years ago, I got Mo Bamba and Lonnie Walker up on a wake surfer. They were taller than the tower when they stood up on the board. Pretty epic.
