The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 snowboard 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.

Traction Tech 3.0
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.
Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board. “Traction Tech is a critical feature for rockered boards. Rocker improves glide in mixed conditions, but the decreased edge contact makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Traction Tech is crucial to offset the edge drift of rocker.”
Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 12mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 3D speed channels in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.
Tapered shape. The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.
Power Basalt stringers for sustainable strength. Basalt stringers are made with 100% natural fibers and help transfer power to the edges, improve torsional response and absorb board chatter.
