Product Features:
- Board Type:Â All Mountain-Freeride
- Flex:Â 8/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff) - Stiff snowboards are precise, responsive, and built for advanced riders tackling high speeds, steep terrain, or icy conditions. They deliver powerful turns, excellent edge hold, and enhanced stability, especially during aggressive riding.
- Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced - Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres. Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.
- Shape:Â Tapered Directional with Medium 3D Contour Base - A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions. An all-terrain 3D Contour Base with a 4mm spoon bevel in the nose and up to 4mm in the tail, starting just before the contact points.
- Camber Type: Camber - Jones’ True Camber profile offers the highest levels of edge response, pop, and grip while cruising all over the mountain.
- Width:Â Standard, Wide - Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes. Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.
- Inserts:Â 2x4 Inserts - These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
- Topsheet:Â Premium Topsheet - Jones' Premium Topsheet is a durable and scratch resistant topsheet, perfect for daily use.
- Laminate: Triax Fiberglass, BComp Carbon Carbon Flax Stringer with Bio Resin - A three-layer, multi-directional fiberglass laminate designed for a dynamic and controlled ride, providing a mid-stiff torsional flex and exceptional responsiveness across many snow conditions. BComp Carbon Flax stringers deliver the ideal mix of power and control—carbon adds serious pop, while flax smooths out vibrations and keeps harmful emissions lower than full carbon designs. This plant based resin is more environmentally friendly than traditional petroleum based epoxy that has unmatched bonding properties for increased performance and less weight.
- Core:Â Power Core - The Power Core is a three species wood core made of Bamboo, Paulownia, and Poplar. The Bamboo stringers add extra durability, pop, and torsional stiffness, while the Paulownia and Poplar keeps it lightweight, poppy, and stable.
- Sidewall:Â Recycled ABS Sidewalls - Jones makes their sidewalls out of a recycled ABS material with a round finish. This increases durability by deflecting impact away from the sidewall preventing chipping and cracks.
- Edge:Â Recycled Edges - Made of recycled German steel, these bombproof edges are made to be the strongest and longest lasting on the market.
- Base: Sintered 8000 Base - A top-tier sintered base that’s incredibly fast, soaks up wax for lasting glide, easy to repair, and built for unmatched durability.

- 3D Base Contouring - Inspired by surfboard design, 3D Contour Bases reduce tip drag for effortless turns, better glide, and enhanced float—so you can ride faster and with more flow.
