Your riding level and riding style decide if you need a Medium or Stiff Flex board. Relative to the rest of the snowboard market, we don’t make soft flex boards. Medium flex boards offer good stability at speed and are easy to turn and maneuver. Stiff flex boards are really stable at high speed and in rough snow conditions, but they require solid strength and technique to ride smoothly. If you are a beginner, intermediate or freestyle focused rider, a medium flex board is your best choice. If you are an expert rider, or are looking to increase your confidence riding in steep, rough terrain, look at our stiffer models. Note that many expert riders like medium flex boards especially when riding pow.

Several Jones models feature V-CORES that affect the flex of a board from tip to tail. Boards with V-CORES are slightly softer in the very center of the board for improved maneuverability and stiffer from the inserts through the tip and tail for stability and pop.
