The Jones Flagship Snowboard never fails to deliver when the mountains call; this directional design flies the big mountain freeride flag as high as any board anywhere. With its mid-stiff flex, Triax fiberglass layup, and updated Power Core in place, Jones pulls out all the stops and adds Power Basalt Stringers as well as Carbon / Innegra fiber to make this one stout beast of a board.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional 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: 4  (1 = Soft and Playful, 5 = Stiff and Aggressive)

Directional Flex Pattern

Forever Flex  All 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.

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.

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.

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

12.5mm Taper  The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.

Core

FSC™ Power Core  Triple-density full wood core featuring hardwood bamboo stringers for added pop and durability plus paulownia for weight savings.

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

Triax Fiberglass  Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any ­terrain or snow conditions.

Sustainable Flax / Basalt Stringers  Jones exclusive sustainable stringer made with 100% natural fibers. Composite Flax and Basalt stringer helps transfer power power to the edges, improves torsional response and absorbs board chatter.

Carbon / Innegra Reinforcement  Carbon Innegra fiber forms an ultra-tough hybrid composite layer that dampens the board torsionally and from tip to tail. Made in the USA and featured on the Aviator, Airheart, and Lone Wolf.

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 9900 Base  Sintered Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene with carbon additives.

Flip Flop Base  Flip-Flop bases improve board sustainability by reducing p-tex waste (colorway may be the inverse of what is pictured).

Edges

Traction Tech 3.0  Traction Tech 3.0 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip.

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

Topsheet

FSC™ Engineered Veneer  New composite wood veneer topsheets made from 100% FSC certified wood. Wood veneer topsheets dampen the ride and absorb chatter.

Additional Features

Bio Resin  All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy.

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.

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

Binding Compatibility

2 x 4 Insert Pattern

Float Pack Inserts  Float Pack Inserts give you the option of a super setback stance for guaranteed float on the deepest days.
