Quick overview

The Hovercraft Splitboard truly shines in the backcountry. It’s nimble, squat shape provides the float of a much longer board but the short running length makes it super maneuverable in the tight trees and lighter on your legs skinning up. The blunt nose and directional rocker of the Hovercraft keep you surfin’ on top of the soft stuff, while the stiff tail keeps you stable through any unexpected crust. For added edge grip on ascent or descent, the Hovercraft Splitboard has inner/outer edge Mellow Magnetraction. The Hover Split also features stainless steel tip and tail reinforcement plates for added durability plus a sustainably harvested bamboo topsheet for added ECOperformance.

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.

  • 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

 

CORE

  • Classic core

full wood poplar core that ofers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.

  • FSC Engineered Veneer

New composite wood veneer topsheets made from 100% FSC certified wood. Wood veneer topsheets dampen ride and absorb board chatter.

  • Super Sap Bio Resin

All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are coproducts or waste products of other plant based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy.

 

BASE

  • Sintered 7000 base

durable natural base material with added carbon for speed and good wax absorbency

  • 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.

 

TOPSHEET

  • Bamboo Veneer 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.

  • Biax fiberglass

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

 

SIDEWALL

  • Traction Tech 1.0

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.

  • Oversized recycled edge

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.

 

SPLITBOARD

  • Karakoram Clips

all jones splitboards feature karakoram k-clips plus tip and tail hooks. Adjustable tension k-clips increase board torsional stifness.
