Dreaming of taking some of your hard-earned quiver of park tricks to the backcountry? The freestyle-oriented Jones Explorer Splitboard could be the tool you've been looking for. A floaty freeride tip is paired with an amply rockered freeride tail to let you float the deepest pow AND stomp the sketchiest switch landings. Nobody knows splitboards like Jeremy Jones, and though reasonably priced, the Explorer gives you the full run of features like a sintered 7000 series base, sturdy wrap tip construction, and bomber Karakoram™ hardware. You'll never know how good the conditions in the BC are unless you get out there and nose around; start now by picking up the Jones Explorer Split.
Directional Rocker – Camber underfoot with a long, gradual tip rocker and slight tail rocker. The rockered nose helps float in powder and improves maneuverability, while camber underfoot aids edgehold. Mild tail rocker lets you choose the turn shape that fits the occasion.
Flex Rating: 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – Medium flex unlocks easy buttering while continually supporting heavy riding and large landings.
Directional Shape
"Pointy" 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 Sidecut – At 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.
Jones Classic Core – Laminated, multi-density core of select hardwoods for performance and durability.
Biax Fiberglass – Biax 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.
Recycled ABS Sidewalls – Jones is in it for the long haul, and with sustainability in mind they use only recycled plastic for their sidewalls.
Bamboo Sidewalls – Bamboo sidewalls on the inside edges of Jones splitboards smooth out the flex and reduce the use of ABS plastic, both good things.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Sintered 7200 Base – Durable natural base material with added carbon for speed and good wax absorbency.
Belt Ground Finish – Smooth a flat right from the factory
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Mellow Magna-Traction™ – A tiny wave in the edge under your feet results in a catch-free ride with bomber edgehold on any snow surface. "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.
Oversized Recycled Edges – Recycled, thicker steel reinforces the snowboard's edges to give you exceptional impact resistance.
Film Topsheet – New film topsheet adds to consistent response and drops weight at the same time.

Karakoram™ Hardware – All Jones splitboards feature Karakoram™ K-Clips plus tip and tail hardware. The adjustable tension K-Clips deliver a rock solid connection and add to torsional stiffness.
Quick Tension Tail – Designed to work in conjunction with Jones Quick Tension Tail Clip², this secure notch hold the tail strap of the skin securely and cleanly.
One Ball Jay BIO Wax – Factory waxed and ready to shred right out of the shop with One Ball Jay BIO wax.
Factory Tuned – Factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can charge from run one without worrying about hookiness.
Wrap Tip Construction – Full wood core to the tip with the ABS sidewall wrapping all the way around the tip for added response and durability
