The Hovercraft is a directional all-mountain board who’s nimble maneuverability has earned it a cult following. With a blunt nose, a short stiff tail, and a wide waist width, the Hovercraft is designed to be ridden shorter then your average freeride board as the shape packs serious surface area in a compact package. The unique shape matched with a directional rocker profile and a long sidecut allows the Hovercraft to float through crud, crust or pow plus rail mixed radius turns one and the same.
The Hovercraft features Spoon 4.0 base contours with the edges of the Spoon nose beveled up for improved float and turn fluidity and the tail edges beveled up for less catch. For enhance edge grip in icy conditions, the Hovercraft also features Traction Tech.
PROFILE
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.
“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
CORE
full wood poplar core that ofers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
BASE
durable natural base material with added carbon for speed and good wax absorbency
all jones snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.
TOPSHEET
using wood for a topsheet dampens the ride and ofers chatter-free performance. The natural material also eliminates some plastic and lacquer which improves board sustainability. Jones boards use walnut, oak, maple and bamboo wood topsheets.
a dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
SIDEWALL
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. Inner and outer edge mellow magne-traction locks in your edges while skinning or shredding.
all jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
abs plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
