This is a great addition to my lineup. With splitboard, a mind expander, now this Hovercraft 2.0. The tools are there, just need the proper Winter to test them out.
First run out, this board wants to scream fast down corduroy trails. Pow was a challenge this year in North Idaho, but the 1 nice out-of-bounds Mt. Wardner, was nice, looking for more POW. Ended up wrecking the nose on this new board. Turned into at least 300.00 repair... Should have stayed on my rock board.

This year's paint scheme has changed a lot. To be honest, hovercrafts have always been a powder snow wonder, and you definitely won't regret buying one!

I’ve been snowboarding since 1996. And this is the best snowboard I have ever ridden!
I feel so comfortable dropping into steep terrain.
I didn’t know a feeling existed while standing at the top of technical terrain.
This board is so well designed.
Jones wants you to have FUN snowboarding!!!
That’s his goal.
Other companies are so stuck staring at their own image…it’s obvious they don’t think about their customers.

Very responsive on powder days and fun even on groomer. Overall a great board.....looking forward to using it next year.

I really enjoyed riding this board. It’s great off piste and on groomed slopes. I definitely recommend it for advanced riders. Even riding switch for short amounts of time was possible. It is worth it’s money.

Lovely

I've bought my first hovercraft from Tribute in 2016 when I was living in Nelson. Its since been my all time favorite snowboard of all time. Since then, I've moved back home on my island in New-Brunwick and with that, I snowboard a bit less and focus more on foiling and surfing. Plus, I've snapped the board a few years back. It's the first time that I developed such a deep love with a snowboard. To me, that board represent everything snowboarding is about. From a fullspeed carving / surf slashing standpoint.

I've then decided to buy the new Hovercraft 2.0 because for me its such a quiver killer even in icy eastcoast condition and I cant get enough of hit.

Thanks for everything.

Best all around powder board. Exceptional turns & control, luv this board.
For > 2" days. Not best suited for hardpack, for that I ride the Stratos.I'm on the East coast. It's my go to for all powder trips.

The hovercraft has been a board in my quiver for almost a decade. Didn’t think it could get any better but the 2.0 proved me wrong. It is an essential for steep and deep terrain but also shines on cruising & carving groomers. It pivots quick and is fishy in the tight trees. It rides exactly how a powder board should. Effortless float and turning. I don’t see another reason for any other pow board.

Looking forward to this winter and doing some hiking with this pig.

Amazing board! can't believe I'm saying it, better than the OG model. Boards can do it all, riding groomers, carves great! on the back bowls, holds tight and stable. I even hit the medium line in the park on it. Thats what its capable of. Board is absolutely amazing on a pow day. Didn't actually believe the channels on tail would do much until i got a real deep day. Very cool design. if you're considering this board, do it ! you won't be disappointed

It is a blessing in Powder (my legs aren't dying early as with my old board) and I had fun on piste. Had the board for the second Season now.

But last weekend in Switzerland we got into it heavy. 3 Days, non stop riding, no coffee-breaks, nothing. Hitting groomers and Slush in the afternoon, It was nuts. I fell in love with this thing for piste-riding too! (for powder it's awesome anyway).

Moved from the flagship to the hovercraft. This board is amazing. Quick edge to edge, knifes through trees and moguls.

Edge hold on ice could be better.

11/10 board. Playful, responsive, surfy.

Just a dream.

. . . . . . now I love Hovercrafting

So the last Hovercraft I had was in 2013. Didn’t get along with it. Sold it. The new 2. 0 is so fun. It’s been amazing on pow days. The surprise was how fun it’s been during this long dry spell in Tahoe. The board excels where you wouldn’t expect it to. I did mount it on the forward position. I’m 5’9” and have the 156.

This board is nimble, medium flex with a nice bit of support in the tail to finish out those turns strong. On fast, firm groomers, the board feels solid, not floppy and holds an edge very well for a surfy board. This is my third hovercraft and first 2. 0, I’m looking forward to more days hovercrafting around the mountain and dropping into some waves off a boot pack.

YEAH MAN!!!
And I mean it: YEAH MAN!!!
I dream about riding this board even when I’m not slashin’ the POWGNAR!

Do not be afraid of wide boards. Get on one of these and rip, Bro!!!

I'm 6'2", 150lbs, 22 years of riding experience. For an early Christmas, my wife bought me the 156 Hovercraft 2. 0. I rode at the reference stance (22. 8") with my 2022 Jones Mercury bindings, set at +6/+18 stance angles. It was an all conditions day at Schweitzer Mountain. They had only seen a couple inches of fresh snow in a week, but it was the first day they opened the lifts on the back side. So, the frontside had bullet proof ice on the groomers while the backside had untouched powder off piste. Amazing board! While it's much shorter than the 160's I usually ride, it has a longer effective edge and all that surface area, so in the deep/steep technical terrain you can whip that shorter board around much easier. On groomers, it carves like a dream, I was able to lay some circle carves no problem. In the powder, it floats insanely well, I'd say it is impossible to sink that nose if you tried. On the hard ice, it easily kept it's edge, where my previous gear would have lost an edge for sure. That disrupted side cut gives you a lot of confidence. The base is crazy fast. That long cat track to get back to the front of the mountain had me leaving skiers and boarders in my dust as they struggled to keep speed on the rollers. Want a board for any condition? This board does it all, you won't be disappointed.

Cons: Do the indents in the tail actually make a difference? Maybe they do, and I'm not skilled enough to notice. But I like tuning/waxing my own gear. They make the wax job a pain, maybe I'll let the board shop wax this guy. Will I like the white base? Looks nice when it's new. Only time will tell.

I've been splitboarding only for 5 years and the hovercraft is my first snowboard ever. I'm so stoked on how fast, agile and fun it is, from groomers to botomless powder days. Actually, it is so good that lately i'm leaving my splitboard and skins at home and walking my self up to take the best out of the mountain on this board.

A long time ago, my wife wanted a ring. I agreed to it on one condition...She had to give me a Hovercraft in return. We've both been very happy ever since.

I wear a size 10 vans boot, riding the 156
Is a wide deck. If you’re used to a wide deck, it’s pretty friendly. Floats like a dream in deep snow, and I been scraping my belly button on groomers. The board is softer/flexier than I had expected. Therefore feels like it might lack pop. Despite it feeling softer than I’d like, the side cut and camber make It very stable. Would buy again!

I have a Flagship as my daily driver and a Hoverraft as my quiver board for powder days. The Hovercraft is noticea ly bettet in powder and its amazing!!

I’ve been using it just for 1 month and so far like it. I pow I feel floats better, but I also like the old one more for like an all around board.
This one I would is closer to be a pow board than the 1.0
This what I felt so far.
Maybe change later.
Thanks,
Pedro.
