Jacuzzi vs enjoi: Two Sister Brands, One Family

Quick answer: Jacuzzi Unlimited and enjoi are sister brands under skater-owned Sidewalk Distribution, both connected to Louie Barletta - who co-founded Jacuzzi in 2023 and bought enjoi back from private equity in 2026. Both are sold through skate shops and direct on this site, and new enjoi graphics reach shops two weeks before they go online. Both are built for skaters who think a board should be fun to look at and serious to ride.

One family, two personalities

These two brands share more history than almost any pair in skateboarding. Louie Barletta spent two decades as one of enjoi's defining riders and later its brand manager. When Dwindle Distribution collapsed, he and Jeff Davis started Jacuzzi Unlimited in September 2023 as a fresh start for that same spirit. In 2026, Louie bought enjoi back from private equity ownership - so today the brand he helped build and the brand he built from scratch sit side by side.

What a Jacuzzi deck is

Jacuzzi decks carry Louie's surreal, mystical art style - dreamlike, mischievous, made to be kept after the grip wears out. The team runs the full spectrum: Caswell Berry and Nestor Judkins on the technical end, Jackson Pilz on transition, Andrea Benitez and Dru James rounding out the range. You can buy Jacuzzi direct from this site or from your local shop.

What an enjoi deck is

enjoi is the panda: skateboarding's longest-running argument that fun is a serious pursuit. New enjoi boards are made today under the same roof as Jacuzzi. Your local skate shop stocks them, and you can order direct from the current enjoi line here. Each season's new graphics hit shops first - two weeks before they go up on this site.

EX7 and R7: same construction, two names

Look at the fine print and you may notice some decks in the family marked EX7 and others marked R7. That is not a quality gap - it is naming history. R7 stands for Resin 7; EX7 stands for Epoxy 7. Both describe the same 7-ply maple construction. When Sidewalk Distribution launched, the R7 name was proprietary and could not be used, so the press was named EX7. After Sidewalk acquired the Dwindle brands, the R7 name came home too - and the family is transitioning back to it. Whichever mark your deck carries, it is built the same way.

So which one should you ride?

Honestly - whichever graphic stops you mid-scroll. They are built with the same care, backed by the same family, and priced for skaters rather than collectors. Pick Jacuzzi if you are following its pro team or Louie's art pulls you in. Pick enjoi if the panda raised you. And if you want a new enjoi graphic the day it drops, get it from your local shop. Plenty of riders in this family would tell you the correct answer is one of each.
