The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Snowboard is an upgraded all-terrain powerhouse designed for versatility and control. Featuring a tapered directional shape, medium flex, and a 3D Contour Base, it effortlessly glides through powder, handles rough snow, and carves smoothly through trees. Responsive and buoyant, this freeride board is built to confidently take on any mountain challenge.
DETAILS
Rocker Type:
Directional Camber/Rocker – A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
Flex:
Personality / Flex: 3 – (1 = Soft and Playful, 5 = Stiff and Aggressive)
Forever Flex – Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.
Directional Flex Pattern
Shape:
Blunt Nose – "How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep is dictated by it's front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the 'snow plow' rounded tip and it's extra swing weight." - Jeremy Jones
Progressive Sidecut – At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
Directional Shape
3D Contour Base 3.0 – Freeride focused 3D Contour Base featuring a 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0 - 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.
Core:
Re-Up Tech Core – Groundbreaking wood core made out of responsibly harvested Paulownia and Poplar with specially positioned embedded stringers made from reclaimed snowboards.
V-Core – Boards with V-Cores are slightly softer in the very center of the board for improved manouverability and stiffer through the tip and tail for stability and pop.
Laminates:
Biax Fiberglass – A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
Sidewalls:
Recycled ABS – ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Jones improves the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
Base:
Sintered 8000 Base – New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene and carbon.
Edges:
Oversized Recycled Edges – All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
Topsheet:
Sustainable Flax Top
Additional Features:
Factory Tuned – All Jones snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.
