Official feature details
Shape & profile
- Directional — Purpose-built to perform in one direction with a longer nose, shorter tail and setback stance that optimize float, maneuverability and edge power. Designed for riders who prioritize performance on groomers, variable terrain and in the backcountry over switch or freestyle riding.
- High Power Camber — Full tip-to-tail camber with our most pronounced bend and an extended flat zone under the rear inserts. This amplifies power in the tail, delivering explosive pop and locked-in edge control to drive out of turns and stomp landings on steep terrain.
- Medium Traction Tech — Medium Traction Tech features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip and control.
- Low Tapered — A subtle taper that aids directional performance but keeps the ride feeling balanced and dynamic on piste and resort terrain. Popular with riders who like to carve the resort or push freestyle in the backcountry, without giving up versatility on the powder days. Any shape with a taper of less than 10mm between the nose and tail.
3D Contour Base
- Surf-inspired shaping for next-level performance. — Inspired by the rounded bottom contours of surfboards, 3D Contour Bases are designed to make every run smoother and every turn more effortless by reducing the drag of the board tips. 3D Contour Bases enhance glide and improve float, helping you ride faster and with better flow.

- Medium 3D Contour Base — 3D Contour Base tuned for all-terrain featuring 4mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0-4mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just before the contact points.
- How it works
Features & construction
- Factory Tuned — All Jones snowboards come factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop.
- Forever Flex — Forever Flex stabilizes a snowboard’s flex and rocker profile for its lifetime. Boards are overbuilt, then ‘broken in’ using a process that mimics 20 days of riding and makes the flex more consistent from day one.
- Power Core — Advanced triple-density full wood core made from responsibly harvested Bamboo, Paulownia and Poplar. Centered Bamboo stringers enhance durability, pop and torsional stiffness, while the Paulownia keeps the core light and damp.
- Koroyd — Developed from aerospace technology, award-winning Koroyd synthetic core material is the lightest core dampening material we’ve ever tested. It absorbs vibrations and reduces tip swing weight, enabling quicker, smoother turns.
- Triax Fiberglass — Triaxial fiberglass laminate made with a triple-layer, multi-axis construction that delivers a precise and powerful board feel with a mid-stiff torsional flex for supreme response in variable snow conditions.
- Bcomp Carbon Flax Stringer — Bcomp Carbon / Flax stringers offer the perfect performance balance as the carbon provides crazy pop and the flax sucks up chatter and reduces CO₂ emissions compared to a full carbon stringer. Developed in collaboration with the Swiss engineering firm Bcomp.
- Premium Topsheet — Durable and scratch resistant premium topsheet engineered to endure rigorous daily use in extreme conditions.
- Sintered 8000 Base — Premium sintered base material that’s ultra fast, highly wax absorbent, easy to repair and proven to be one of the most durable and long lasting base materials in the industry.
- Wend Natural Wax — All Jones snowboards come factory waxed with WEND natural wax so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop.
- Bio Resin — A bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon that reduces CO₂ emissions by 33% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxy. Sourced from plant-based industrial by-products, its unmatched bonding properties deliver industry leading durability and performance.
- Recycled ABS — Recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish that are engineered to enhance durability by reducing topsheet chipping and impact damage.
- Recycled edges — Bombproof steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting durability.
