Product description
The 2025 Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Snowboard is a modern manifestation of a cult classic alternative freeride shape that features the most advanced 3D shape tech and groundbreaking recycled materials. The Hovercraft's new shape keeps the floaty nose, compact tail, directional rocker profile and long sidecut that made the original model so nimble and stable, but its been supercharged with 12mm of spoon bevel in the nose for lightning fast turn intiation and a glide accentuating, speed boosting 3D hull in the tail.
- 3D Contour Base 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.
- Traction Tech 1.0: Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.
- Progressive sidecut: At 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.
- Directional Flex: Off set tip-to-tail flex pattern that is designed for directional freeride boards. The nose, center of board and tail are slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink the tail and improve stability at speed.
- Directional Rocker: A hybrid rockercamber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker than tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the boards 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.
- Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
- Sintered 8000 Base: New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene UHMW-PE and carbon. Base is easily repairable, highly wax absorbent and wicked fast.
- Biax fiberglass: A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
- Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.
- Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.
- All Jones Snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.
- All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
- Sustainable Flax Top: Flax fibers are used in place of a traditional topsheet and offer a damp ride that absorbs chatter at any speed. Flax uses less resin in the board layup which saves more weight and synthetic materials.
