Jones Hovercraft Snowboard 2012: Powder hunting and line poaching, the Jones Hovercraft Snowboard does it all! Packing the volume of an old-school long board into a nimble all-mountain charger, the Hovercraft is a phenomenon that shatters the stereotypes of your average “pow” board. Blower, crud or crust are no match for the Hovercraft as it floats through it all without sacrificing maneuverability in mixed conditions. The Hovercraft features a blunt nose and directional rocker, with a stiff tail, so you can party in the pow and still remain stable on the hardpack.
Flex
The best of both worlds, the Hovercraft offers a fun and playful flex that kills in the in pow, with a stiffer tail that offers the control you need on the hardpack.
Construction and Core
FSC Approved Full Wood Core - the wood comes from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of all generations. The core is a full poplar and beech wood core that offers a solid snap.
Mellow Magne-Traction improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of the board. A key ingredient for rockered boards, Magne-Traction allows it to glide more smoothly.
Shape
Directional rocker shape is a hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker than tail rocker and slight camber between the bindings. The rockered tip gives the nose added float and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot gives you added 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.
Blunt Nose adds float benefits without adding length or swing weight to the board .
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Flip Flop base means that base graphic colors are flip flopped, drastically reducing P-Tex waste and increasing the material yield.
Film topsheet replaces the traditional plastic topsheet, eliminating plastic and reducing the weight of the board.
Sintered base is made of the fastest natural base material available. The base is durable, absorbs wax faster and retains wax longer.

    Comments about Jones Hovercraft Snowboard 2012:

    Everybody says its a Pow board......and yes its true... but as jeremy said. in backcountry riding u find all kind of snow....hardpack (like groomers) crud ice slush etc.

    thats why this is truly an all mountain board.....very good to carve on groomers, u feel like u got a tail....but really u don't.. which makes it easy to turn between trees or bumps. or avoid skiers.

    Other boards who are classified as all mountain....really aren't they are mostly good on fresh tracked groomers....but when the day ends and lots of slush or bump appear...those boards suck.

    this board can handle all.

    im 178cm and have bought the 160cm version. ...great at speed on groomers...

    btw its a really wide board....wider than i was used to....but this makes only the first 2 turns to get used to....after that u notice that carving is even easier.

    Another pros: the graphics......(what graphics) ...exactly no graphic...just a retro style board....which could be hanging in ur living room instead of a painting....so beautiful

    i highly recommend this board....

      Comments about Jones Hovercraft Snowboard 2012:

      This board absolutely rips in pow. I have the 156 and it's probably the most nimble pow board out there because of the short length.
      The float is amazing, you can power through flat spots others get stuck on. The nose always wants to stay above the snow because of the profile.
      Its perfect for alpine bowls, trees and surprisingly it carves pretty sweet on groomers too.
      If you live where it snows a lot having a dedicated pow board like this is definitely worth it - it takes away the rear leg burn and makes pow riding easier and faster. Never selling it!
