    Description

    The Hovercraft is an alternative freeride board whose nimble maneuverability and diverse performance has earned it a cult following. Its unique, compact shape matches a short tail with a long sidecut so you can rip turns of any size. The Hovercraft is designed to be ridden shorter than your average freeride board as the trim shape packs serious surface area in a small package.

    For serious float in any snow condition, the Hovercraft features a directional rocker profile and a 3D Contour Base 3.0, and for added edge grip it has Traction Tech 1.0 edges. The Hovercraft has a new look with a refined Engineered Veneer Topsheet and a black + transparent base plus laser etched topsheet markings that eliminate all solvent inks. Without any inks on the board, not even the sidewalls, the new Hovercraft is the most sustainably produced board we've ever made!

    Features

    100% 3D Contours Base
    Welcome to the future. 3D Contour Bases are next-level tech that enhances glide + float and delivers unmatched turn flow and fluidity in any snow condition.

    Sustainably sourced woodcore
    All Jones wood cores are made from wood species that have been sustainably grown and harvested. See the tech features page for more details.

    Premium sintered base
    Life's too short to ride slow bases! All our boards have hyper fast sintered bases made from super durable and wax absorbant premium P-tex. See the tech features for specific base details.

    Sustainably made, built by the sun
    We strive to make gear with the least carbon footprint possible. All boards built with Bio Resin, recycled sidewalls + edges and sustainably sourced wood cores + topsheets. Jones boards are also now built with 100% solar power!

    Traction Tech edges
    Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip on firm snow.

    Biax Fiberglass
    A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.

    Factory tuned, ready to shred
    Buy it, mount it, rip it! All boards leave the factory ready to ride with de-tuned tip + tail, edges angled at 90°/0° and bases waxed with Wend natural wax. 

    Built for SkateTech bindings
    Like peanut butter and jelly, the Traction Tech edge bump pattern aligns perfectly with SkateTech bindings for unreal response and edge grip. 

    Forever Flex
    Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.

    3D Contour Base 3.0
    Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.

    Traction Tech 1.0
    Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, 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. - Jeremy Jones

    Progressive sidecut
    At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.

    Blunt nose
    How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep, is dictated by its front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the ‘snow plow’ rounded tip and its extra swing weight. - Jeremy Jones

    Directional flex pattern
    Off set tip-to-tail flex pattern that is designed for directional freeride boards. The nose, center of board and tail are slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink the tail and improve stability at speed.

    Directional Rocker
    A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker than 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.

    Built with the finest tech and materials
    100% of our adult models feature high-end materials, construction technologies and sustainable manufacturing processes. We accept no compromises in producing the most durable and sustainable snowboarding gear.

    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 stabilize the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.

    Engineered Wood Veneer
    New composite wood veneer topsheets. Wood veneer topsheets dampen ride and absorb board chatter.

    No Ink!Laser engraved graphics
    The Hovercraft series now features laser etched topsheet graphics that eliminate toxic inks.

    Classic Core
    Full wood premium poplar core offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
