Product Info

Drawing from their ingenious Hovercraft design, the Jones Ultracraft Snowboard was born for mornings when waist-deep pow is piling high and the stashes are calling you name. Just like you'd expect from a mischievous younger sibling, the Jones Ultracraft Snowboard features the same unfettered attitude of the Hovercraft while exhibiting surprising lightness and float for waist-deep days. A gradual rockered tip floats the Ultracraft's nose while Mellow Magne-Traction™ allows you to lock into turns and hold a solid edge on groomed runs. So whether you're shredding resort pow or sending it in the backcountry, the Jones Ultracraft Snowboard is a serious powder tool that can charge all over the mountain.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional RockerCamber 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

Flex Rating: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)Medium-stiff flex for immediate response and loads of control. Less forgiving but is ready to damage rails, kickers, and anything else you toss at it. Well-rounded flex for all-mountain excursions.

Shape

Directional Shape / Swallow Tail

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

Ultra Core 2.0Triple density hardwood cores carefully chosen for lightness and response. Hardwood stringers are positioned at the edges for durability.

Laminates

Carbon StringersCarbon stringers add torsional stiffness for improved response and increased pop. The carbon layer keeps the flex profile consistent for the lifetime of the board.

Carbon Quadrax LayupMulti-layered, multi-axis fiberglass meshed with dual zone carbon fiber power bands - this signature Jones construction provides supreme snap and stability on steeps and at speed.

Sidewalls

Recycled ABS SidewallsJones is in it for the long haul, and with sustainability in mind they use only recycled plastic for their sidewalls.

Base

Sintered Ultra BaseProven race base of UHMW Polyethylene with special Fluoro and Parafin additives. The hardest and fastest base out there.

Edges

Mellow Magne-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 EdgesRecycled, thicker steel reinforces the snowboard's edges to give you exceptional impact resistance and improved production sustainability.

Topsheet

Film TopsheetNew film topsheet adds to consistent response and drops weight at the same time.

Additional Features

Factory TunedFactory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can charge from run one without worrying about hookiness.

One Ball Jay BIO WaxFactory waxed and ready to shred right out of the shop with One Ball Jay BIO wax.

Made in Austria

Ultra ConstructionUltra Construction is the redefinition of what it takes to build a snowboard. Jones tested every inch of the board to precisely position materials exactly where they are needed while eliminating all excess materials. Combining these innovative construction techniques with superlight wood cores and carbon fiber deliver revolutionary results. Jones Ultra boards are the lightest, yet most durable snowboards on earth.
