Description
evo.com | Jones Splitboards > The Jones Hovercraft Splitboard is exactly what you want in a backcountry vehicle. The directional shape is perfect both for surfing lines through low angle trees and turning on the jets in spicy terrain. It floats even better than it’s name would have you believe, and best of all, the volume shifted design means you can ride it shorter than your resort board, so you can save weight on the uphill, add nimble response on the downhill, and retain the surface area to rise above the fluff and chunder you’re bound to find in your local backcountry. Sintered 8000 Base New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene and carbon. Directional Rocker A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then 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. Directional Flex Pattern Blunt Nose “How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep is dictated by it’s 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 it’s extra swing weight.” – Jeremy Jones FSC(R) Classic Core Full wood premium poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex, and solid durability. | Jones Hovercraft Splitboard 2023 – 160
