This year's tour has taken Jacobs to Morocco, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, China and Argentina.
He says winning in Germany is definitely the highlight of the year for him.
"It's the biggest PKRA event of the year.
"Winning that was a feeling I'll never forget."
Jacobs has come a long way since he went down to Tay St beach on a windy day when he was 12 and saw legendary rider Dave Edwards burning it up.
Jacobs has so far declined opportunities to base himself in Europe but it may happen for financial reasons.
"It is possible to make a living on tour, but nothing like as much as surfing," he said.
"The top European guys I compete with have done well enough to own houses, but I'm just scraping along being a professional.
"I have thought about moving to Europe but it isn't any better for training than it is here.
"Everyone goes to Cape Town, Brazil and Perth to train.
"I love New Zealand. I wouldn't want to leave it but I'll see what happens."
Jacobs is sponsored by innovative Tauranga-based kiteboard makers Switch Kites.
He worked closely with chief designer Bill Hansen to develop the Combat, a kite designed to excel in technical performance and be strong enough to handle Jacob's extreme riding.
Switch Kites CEO Jacob Kajavala says they always knew that Jacobs had what it took to make it on the world stage.
"It was clear that in order for Marc to go large he needed no compromise in equipment and support," Kajavala said.
"Marc and Bill had free reign to design the Combat range of kites precisely to Marc's riding style.
"Switch Kites may have created the tools but Marc Jacobs delivered the results - we are very proud of him."
