Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Snowboard

**youtube

The evolved all-conditions charger

Ideal for ripping turns, slashing pow and exploring the wilderness

The Hovercraft 2.0 is an explosive alternative freeride board with a tapered directional shape that offers surprisingly diverse performance. With a floaty nose, camber underfoot and a long sidecut, the Hovercraft charges through pow, crust or corn, and rails on piste.
The Hovercraft also features Re-Up™ Tech and is built with recycled materials from old snowboards.

3D Contours Base

3.0 - Freeride focused 3D base

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.

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.

Reclaimed Core

High performance poplar paulownia wood core featuring specially positioned embedded stringers made from reclaimed snowboards.
