Jones Hovercraft Snowboard 2027

The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Snowboard 2027 is an evolved all-conditions freeride board designed for riders who want powerful performance in powder without sacrificing agility across the rest of the mountain. Known for its nimble feel and explosive response, the Hovercraft 2.0 blends advanced 3D shaping with sustainable materials to create a board that excels at slashing powder, blasting through crud, and weaving through tight tree lines.

Built with a high tapered directional shape and a directional camber profile, the Hovercraft 2.0 offers exceptional float and edge hold while maintaining quick, responsive handling. The long sidecut provides stability at speed, while the compact, agile design allows riders to make fast directional changes when terrain gets technical. Designed for riders who love surfy powder turns and powerful carving, the Hovercraft 2.0 delivers a confident and energetic ride in a wide range of conditions.

Board Type: All-Mountain / Freeride

All-mountain freeride boards are built to perform across varied terrain, with a focus on stability, float, and control when riding fast or exploring off-piste conditions.

All-Mountain: 7/10
Powder: 10/10
Freestyle: 5/10

These ratings highlight the Hovercraft 2.0’s exceptional powder performance while still maintaining versatility for everyday mountain riding.

Flex: 3/5

A medium flex offers a balance between control and playfulness, providing responsive performance while remaining forgiving enough for a wide range of riding styles.

Shape: High Tapered Directional

A highly tapered directional shape features a wider nose and narrower tail, improving float in deep snow while helping the board naturally guide turns and maintain stability at speed.

Profile: Directional Camber / Rocker

This hybrid profile combines camber between the bindings for powerful edge hold with rocker in the nose to enhance float and manoeuvrability in powder.

High 3D Contour Base

A freeride-focused 3D base profile featuring approximately 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and up to 7mm in the tail. The shaping begins just before the contact points, improving float and smoothing turn initiation in soft snow.

High Traction Tech

Traction Tech adds multiple subtle contact points along the edge of the board, increasing grip and control in firm or icy conditions.

Board Construction

Re-Up Tech Core

An innovative wood core made from responsibly harvested paulownia and poplar, reinforced with stringers crafted from reclaimed snowboards. This construction improves strength while reusing materials that would otherwise go to waste.

Biax Fiberglass

A dual-layer, dual-direction fiberglass laminate that creates a forgiving yet responsive ride feel with quick energy transfer and mid-soft torsional flex.

Sintered 8000 Base

A premium sintered base that delivers excellent speed, strong wax absorption, and long-lasting durability while remaining easy to repair.

Sustainable Flax Top

A carbon-neutral flax fibre topsheet layer that absorbs vibration and chatter while increasing durability in rough conditions.

Recycled ABS Sidewalls

Durable ABS sidewalls made from recycled materials with a rounded finish that reduces topsheet chipping and improves impact resistance.

Recycled Steel Edges

High-strength steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for durability and reliable edge hold.

Sustainability

The Hovercraft 2.0 incorporates a range of environmentally responsible materials and manufacturing processes.

Re-Up Technology – Utilises reclaimed snowboard materials within the core.
Bio-Resin – Plant-based epoxy that reduces petroleum use.
Solar-Powered Production – Manufactured using renewable energy.
Wend Bio Wax – Factory wax made from environmentally friendly ingredients.
Responsibly Harvested Wood – Sustainably sourced core materials.

These technologies reflect Jones’ commitment to producing high-performance snowboards while reducing environmental impact.
