Marc Jacobs (born 22 November 1989) is a New Zealand big-wave kitesurfer and a big-air kiteboarder.

[2] He reached the pinnacle of his kiteboarding career, when he emerged triumphant at the 2021 Red Bull King of the Air, most importantly he achieved it coinciding on his birthday and the 2021 edition of the Red Bull King of the Air took place in a new window in November 2021, in contrast to the usual slot of hovering around mid January-February season, which had been the tradition of how the competition had taken place annually.

[3][4] Marc faced a stiff competition in the action-packed closely-fought evenly poised grand finale of the Red Bull King of the Air competition where he edged past the likes of former three-time world champion Kevin Langeree and another rookie Stig Hoefnagel to secure the title for the first time in his career.

[5] Marc showed resilience and temperament during the final of the 2021 Red Bull King of the Air contest after a streak of 22 heats and six hours of competition spread across the two days, before heading on his way to win the coveted title in an enthralling fashion as the final culminated in an epic finish.

[5] In January 2025, he received media coverage and attention for his brave solo rescue act when he rescued a swimmer from the possibility and dangers of drowning in the Mangawhai Estuary as coincidentally Marc was also swimming in the Mangawhai Estuary during the occasion.
