Jones Snowboards

Hovercraft Snowboard

Jeremy Jones wanted to create a powder board that could perform on hardpack and crud just as well as it does in the deep stuff. The result is the Jones Hovercraft Snowboard. Inspired by short, but buoyant surfboards and blessed with a heaping spoonful of modern tech, this powder-seeking missile is a lot more versatile than you might think. 

Camber underfoot provides edge hold and stability on hardpack, while a long rockered nose keeps it afloat effortlessly in powder and the short tail makes it highly maneuverable in deep snow. Mellow Magne-Traction improves edge hold by adding multiple contact points along the running length of the board, giving you insane grip on icy slopes. Biax glass gives it a forgiving flex for surfy carve and easy turn initiation.

Jones replaced traditional plastics in the topsheet with wood in order to dampen the ride for a a chatter-free feel, and decrease the use of toxic, unsustainable materials. The all-wood core offers a snappy, even flex and lightweight strength, and the blunt nose allows the board to plane more smoothly in powder. It's finished off with a fast and durable Sintered 7200 base.
