The Jones Hovercraft splitboard shatters the stereotypes of your average backcountry board. This board proves length isn't everything.
- Blower, crud or crust are no match for the Hovercraft as it floats through anything without sacrificing maneuverability in mixed conditions
- 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
- 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!
- Directional rocker features more tip rocker than tail rocker and a slight camber in between the bindings
- Blunt nose offers the float benefits of a much longer board tip without the added length or swing weight
- Rockered tip adds float and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot delivers added edge hold and response
- Slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but keeps the tail catch-free when initiating turns and landing switch
- 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
- Full wood core is comfortable and robust; it's a true all-terrain core and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council
- Film topsheet replaces traditional plastic topsheet, eliminating plastic and reducing the board's weight
- Sintered base is durable, absorbs wax fast and retains the wax longer; carbon nano particles and other additives enhance glide
- This base is specially developed by Nidecker and is very resistant to impacts
- P-tex waste is drastically reduced by flip-flopping base graphic colors between boards; base colors are random, thus specific requests cannot be accommodated
- Jones Hovercraft rides with Voile Light Rail splitboard bindings, sold separately
- Voile Universal Splitboard hardware kit for Light Rail bindings and Voile Universal Splitboard hardware kit for Burton, sold separately
- This splitboard includes Karakoram-brand clips
