Product Info

The radical shape of the Jones Storm Chaser Snowboard is a joint effort between famed surfboard shaper Chris Christenson and Jeremy Jones. A well-defined swallowtail along with a long tip rocker and Spoon 4.0 bevels at the tip and tail tell you that this board aims to meld surf style and snowboard reality, but it doesn't tell you how fast the board moves once it gets up out of the snow or how surf-like it feels in a big turn. You'll have to try it to find out, and you won't want to let go once the experience hits home.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Christenson Surf RockerCustom tip/tail rocker profile designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson for the Mountain Surfer and Storm Chaser. The nose rocker starts just inside of the front inserts and the tail rocker starts just at the back inserts. When you weight the tail of the board the nose ramps up out of the snow for insane float on the deepest days.These subtle rocker contours match a Christenson surfboard rocker profile.

Flex

Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)7

Shape

Spoon 4.0Jones' most advanced 3D base contour, featuring 7 mm of spoon bevel in the nose, 4 mm in the tail, and a 2 mm deep Speed Channel between the tail edges.

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

Progressive SidecutAt 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.

Swallow TailSignificant swallow tail lets the nose of the board float higher in powder.

Core

Master CoreDual-density full premium wood poplar and paulownia core designed to maximize lightness and dampening.

Laminates

Biax FiberglassA dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.

Recycled RubberDampening material is made of 100% recycled rubber.

Sidewalls

Recycled ABSABS 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 BaseSintered Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene with carbon additives.

Edges

Mellow Magne-Traction™Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Magne-Traction improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board. "Magne-Traction is a critical feature for rockered boards. Rocker improves glide in mixed conditions, but the decreased edge contact makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Magne-Traction is crucial to offset the edge drift of rocker." - Jeremy Jones

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

Topsheet

Film TopsheetFilm topsheets provide the stiffness and impact resistance of a normal topsheet while significantly reducing weight by decreasing the thickness of the topsheet material.

Additional Features

Stainless Steel HardwareStainless steel plates are embedded into the nose and tail for improved board tip durability.

Factory TunedAll Jones snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.

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