The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Snowboard is an updated take on Jones' much loved freeride board, featuring 3D tech and eco-conscious recycled materials. Its floaty nose, compact tail, and directional rocker keep the nimble stability you love from the original with even faster turn initiation and glide thanks to a12mm spoon bevel in the nose and speed-boosting 3D hull in the tail. Available in unisex sizes for riders of every shape and size, the Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Snowboard is an inclusive ripper that busts crud and slashes pow.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional RockerA 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

Flex Rating7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Forever FlexAll Jones boards are broken in using specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use to help stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for it's 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 SidecutAt 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 3.0Freeride 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

V-CoreBoards with V-Cores are slightly softer in the very center of the board for improved maneuverability and stiffer through the tip and tail for stability and pop.

Reclaimed CoreHigh performance poplar paulownia wood core featuring specially positioned embedded stringers made from reclaimed snowboards.

Laminates
