Quick overview

B-Grade Snowboard, these boards have cosmetic defaults. This will not have any effect on riding quality.

Seen in lift lines at the heaviest resorts the world over, the Flagship has locked down the reputation as the most confidence inspiring snowboard on the planet. Jeremy Jones has spent the last 20 years honing every detail of the Flagship to offer such breakthrough performance. For 2017 Jones' overhauled the Flagship by using new materials and fine tuning the shape. Power V Basalt stringers add torsional stability while the Spoon 3.0 Nose and Tail deliver mind bending glide and float. The wood topsheet on the Flagship has been replaced with Flax Fiberglass for added ECO-performance and the Mellow Magne-traction profile has been improved for added edge grip on hardpack.

Details

PROFILE

  • Directional rocker

A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides 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.

  • Spoon 3.0

Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.

  • 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

CORE

  • PowerCore

Triple-density full wood core featuring hardwood bamboo stringers for added pop and durability plus paulownia for weight savings.

  • FLAX Fiberglass

A durable, sustainable and high performance dampening fiber.

  • Triax Fiberglass

Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.

BASE

  • Sintered 9900 base

Made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and Carbon. This ultra-fast base is easy to repair thanks to the UHMW-PE.

  • Wend Natural Wax

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

TOPSHEET

  • Fusion Tech

Jones exclusive production process allows traditional topsheet layer to be replaced with ultra durable epoxy layer saving weight and material.

SIDEWALL

  • Wrap Tip Construction

Full wood core to the tip and ABS sidewall completely wraps around tip for added response and durability.

  • 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 ofset the edge drift of rocker.” - Jeremy Jones

  • Progressive Sidecut

At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing 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.

  • Oversized recycled edges

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

  • Recycled ABS

ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.

  • Recycled Rubber

Rubber edge dampening material is made with 100% recycled material.

  • Factory Tuned

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