The Storm Chaser is a power packed swallowtail that offers magical float in pow and radical carving potential.

Surfboard shaper Chris Christenson designed the rocker profile and base contours of the Storm Chaser by using the refined dimensions of his fastest gliding surfboards. The result is an explosively fast powder rocket that packs insane float into a nimble, short board. The ultra-wide waist width and 3D Contour Base 3.0 help maximize the float of the short running length and the Surf Rocker profile pops the nose even further out of the snow when you rock into a bottom turn. For a lively board feel, the Storm Chaser features a Bamboo Surf Core, and an ultra fast and durable Sintered 8000 base.

FEATURES

  • 3D Contour Base 3.0

    Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.

  • Built with the finest tech and materials

    100% of our adult models feature high-end materials, construction technologies and sustainable manufacturing process. We accept no compromises in producing the most durable and sustainable snowboarding gear.


    Base

    Sintered 8000 Base

    New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easily repairable, highly wax absorbent and wicked fast.

    Wend Natural Wax

    Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.

    Flip-Flop Base

    Producing two or more base color options minimizes p-tex waste. Order may be filled with either color. Color does not vary by size.


    Fiber

    Biax fiberglass

    A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.


    Other features

    Bio Resin

    Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.

    Oversized recycled edges

    All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.

    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.

    Forever Flex

    Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.

    Recycled rounded ABS

    Rounded sidewall finish that improves board durability by protecting topsheet from chipping.


    Reinforcements

    Sustainable Flax/Basalt Power stringers

    Sustainable stringer made with 100% natural fibers. Basalt stringers improve torsional response and transfer power from under your feet to the tips of the board to eliminate nose and tail chatter.


    Topsheet

    Eco-plastic topsheet

    Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).


    Woodcore

    Bamboo Surf Core

    Re-designed triple density Bamboo Surf wood core that features primarily paulownia stringers with bamboo stringers positioned in the pocket of the sidecut for better edge response and turn power.

  • Christenson Surf Rocker

    Custom tip/tail rocker profile designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson for the Mind Expander, Mountain Surfer and Storm Chaser. The nose rocker starts just inside of the front inserts and the tail rocker starts just at the back inserts. When you weight the tail of the board the nose ramps up out of the snow for insane float on the deepest days. These subtle rocker contours match a Christenson surfboard rocker profile.

     

  • 1. Traction Tech 1.0

    Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.

    Traction Tech is a critical feature for rockered boards. Rocker improves glide in mixed conditions, but the decreased edge contact makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Traction Tech is crucial to offset the edge drift of rocker. - Jeremy Jones

    2. 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 flex pattern

    Off set tip-to-tail flex pattern that is designed for directional freeride boards. The nose, center of board and tail are slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink the tail and improve stability at speed.

    V-core

    Jones exclusive wood core profiling that offers a stable and playful board feel. The wood core is softer between the feet for easy turn initiation and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability riding through uneven terrain and landing airs.
