Jones Hovercraft Snowboard 2023

The Hovercraft has gained a devoted following as an unconventional freeride board that delivers exceptional performance and maneuverability. Its unique design combines a compact shape with a short tail and long sidecut, allowing for turns of any size. The board is intentionally shorter than other freeride options, yet still boasts significant surface area thanks to its trim shape. The Hovercraft is engineered for maximum float in all snow conditions, featuring a directional rocker profile, a 3D Contour Base 3.0, and Traction Tech 1.0 edges for added grip. With its Engineered Veneer Topsheet and black + transparent base, the board boasts a fresh new look, while laser-etched markings eliminate the need for solvent inks, making it the most sustainable board Jones has produced to date - with not a drop of ink on the sidewalls or anywhere else.

• 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.
• 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.
• Wend Natural Wax: Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
• Biax fiberglass: A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
• Bio Resin: 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.
• Oversized recycled edges: All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
• Recycled ABS Sidewalls: ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
• 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.
• Forever Flex: Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.
• Engineered Wood Veneer: New composite wood veneer topsheets. Wood veneer topsheets dampen ride and absorb board chatter.
• No Ink!Laser engraved graphics: The Hovercraft series now features laser etched topsheet graphics that eliminate toxic inks.
• Classic Core: Full wood premium poplar core than offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
