Technical specifications
Jones Snowboards stand out for their constant quest for innovation and performance, integrating technologies such as 3D Contour Base and Traction Tech to provide superior grip and maneuverability. In addition, the brand is known for its strong commitment to sustainability, making them a forerunner in eco-friendly production and awareness in the snowboard industry.
New super durable material made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. The base is easy to repair, absorbs a lot of wax and is lightning fast.
Redesigned edge response triple density Bamboo Surf wood core with mostly paulownia stringers and bamboo stringers in the pocket of the sidecut for better and more power at turns.
A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
Bioplastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to the topsheet).
SPecial rocker/camber flex pattern designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson. The rockered tip drives the nose of the board and improves maneuverability, while the camber underfoot provides edge grip and response. A slightly ribbed tail provides the strength and stability of a traditional board and helps keep the tail catch-free when making turns and landing switch.
A directional shape provides improved performance and stability when riding in one direction, especially when freeriding and on powder.
