Jones Hovercraft Splitboard - The Jones Hovercraft Splitboard isn't just a snowboard, it's a new way of life. Instead of just plowing through pow, you're now able to glide over deep snow making it feel like you're floating on air. With the Blunt Nose shape you get the flotation benefits of a much longer board, while the swallowtail-esque tail allows for superior control (and float) and throwin' up huge rooster tails! The Splitboard technology allows for the easiest hiking you've ever done so you can go way back into the mountains to find new secret stashes of pow. Permanently change your mountain lifestyle with the Jones Hovercraft Splitboard.

Fabric:

  • Sintered base for durability and speed, with alternating color patterns to reduce wasted materials

Sizing:

  • Blunt nose offers the float benefits of a much longer board tip without the added length or swing weight

Comfort:

  • Full wood core is comfortable and robust; it's a true all-terrain core and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council

Traction and Grip:

  • Mellow Magne-Traction edge design adds contact points for improved grip, while still letting you finesse your turns
  • Blunt nose and directional rocker keep you partying in the pow while the stiff tail and mellow Magne-Traction lock in stability when the fresh tracks are gone
  • Directional hybrid shape uses camber underfoot for stability and hardpack edge grip, with rocker in the nose for awesome floatation
  • Mellow Magne-Traction improves edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board; it's like a serrated knife slicing into the snow

Logo/Graphics:

  • P-tex waste is drastically reduced by flip-flopping base graphic colors between boards; base colors are random, thus specific requests cannot be accommodated

Features:

  • Film topsheet replaces traditional plastic topsheet, eliminating plastic and reducing the board's weight
  • FSC-certified full wood core is light, strong, and sustainably farmed
  • Sintered base is durable, absorbs wax fast and retains the wax longer; carbon nano particles and other additives enhance glide
  • Blower, crud or crust are no match for the Hovercraft as it floats through anything without sacrificing maneuverability in mixed conditions
  • Slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but keeps the tail catch-free when initiating turns and landing switch
  • Blunt nose for reduced swing weight and easier planing in powder, crud, or corn
  • The addition of the Hovercraft splitboard to the Jones lineup has cemented this board design to Jeremy's feet, and it will to yours as well!
  • Rockered tip adds float and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot delivers added edge hold and response
  • Directional rocker features more tip rocker than tail rocker and a slight camber in between the bindings
  • Film topsheet reduces weight and environmental impact without compromising durability
  • Voile Universal Splitboard hardware kit for Light Rail bindings and Voile Universal Splitboard hardware kit for Burton, sold separately
  • This base is specially developed by Nidecker and is very resistant to impacts
  • This splitboard includes Karakoram-brand clips
  • Beefed-up edges are 250% stronger than traditional edge layups to withstand serious impacts without blowing out

Ascend to the good stuff, and surf it like a glassy barrel on the way down.

We don't have to tell you about the advantages of a splitboard—the motivation for ascending to untracked lines should be obvious. What may not be so obvious, however, is how the Jones Hovercraft Splitboard gives you access to more powder stashes than ever before. The Hovercraft's huge nose, tapered set-back shape, and directional CamRock profile deliver insane float in powder and will open your eyes to zones you previously considered unrideable. When the avy risk is high but you're jonesing for solitude, reach for the Hovercraft and scope out some low-angle trees—you'll be amazed at how much fun you can have on this board.

Float over low angle powder fields and crusty high speed slopes with the Hovercraft Splitboard from Jones Snowboards, a Magne-Traction-enabled swallow tail that floats like a 178 cm and turns like a 156. Directional rocker eliminates end-o falls by moving your front contact point closer to your front foot & allowing you to pivot the board side-to-side without catching on the snow surface.

The Hovercraft is not a snowboard. It's a powder riding phenomenon that goes beyond mere board design. Hover- crafting is a way of life, a life of slaying deep pow without having to ride an aircraft carrier-sized shred stick. The Hovercraft packs all the float you'll ever need in a trim explosive package.
