Product Info

Your pow hunting, crud crushing chariot has arrived. The Jones Hovercraft Splitboard is the ultimate slay machine that will take you from maneuvering secret steeps to breaking through chunder and crud like a seasoned Ice Road Trucker. The blunt nose and directional rocker keeps you partying in the pow while the stiffer tail and mellow Magne-Traction locks your edges in when fresh tracks are hard to come by. Float, fly, and freeride like Jeremy does, on the Jones Hovercraft Splitboard.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional RockerJones' directional rocker snowboards have a defined flex pattern with more rocker in the nose than the tail and camber between the bindings. Having a rockered nose will help you float in deep snow and improve maneuverability. The camber underfoot provides exceptional edge hold and response. Subtle rocker near the tail maintains power and stability as it aids your turns.

Flex

Flex Rating: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)This snowboard has a mid-stiff flex rating that will provide you with a predictable, responsive and fast ride. This snowboard is good for the entire mountain; slalom courses, powder, groomers, and kickers. Loaded with turning abilities, strong edge hold and tons of preloaded pop you’re in for a sweet ride.

Shape

Blunt Nose"How a board glides in powder, crust, corn, or any snow condition more then an inch deep is dictated by its 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 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 board tip without the added length or 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 decreasing the side cut 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.

Core

Classic CoreJones' full wood, multi-density core construction. The Classic Core features hardwood that adds protection from impacts and substantially increases the snowboards durability.

Laminates

BiaxBiax laminate consists of fiberglass that is braided in two directions. The fibers are braided vertically at 90 degrees. This ensures a torsional flex that is more evenly distributed throughout the snowboard. For you, this translates to a snowboard that is easy to handle and jib friendly.

Sidewalls

Recycled ABS SidewallsPlastic is one of the evils commonly used in snowboard production. Jones improved the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic.

Base

Sintered 7200Sintered bases are super-fast. Polyethylene pellets are forced together under extremely high pressure. The result is a singular piece of connected pellets with tiny pores across the entire base. Sintered bases absorb hot wax really well.

Die-Cut BaseBase color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.

Edges

Mellow Magne-Traction™Maximizes your edge hold between your feet so you have better control and stability even on the iciest slopes. Magne-Traction™ varies in the serration depending on the board; regardless it will deliver a catch-free ride any day. "Magne-Traction™ is a key ingredient for rockered board designs. Adding rocker to your board makes it glide more smoothly, but it makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Magne-Traction™ is crucial to offset the drift typical of rocker flex patterns." - Jeremy Jones.

Recycled Stronger EdgesRecycled steel reinforces the snowboard's edges to give you exceptional impact resistance.

Topsheet

Wood TopsheetUsing wood for a topsheet dampens the ride and offers chatter-free performance. The natural material also eliminates some plastic and lacquer which improves board sustainability.

Additional Features

Factory TunedAll Jones Snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail plus waxed with OneBallJay Bio Wax so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.

Alu-Tip ProtectorReinforced aluminum tip protector bonded to a vibration-damping elastomer layer.
