Description

The Women's Hovercraft from Jones is a freeride snowboard for riders with a confirmed to expert level.

For several years now, the Hovercraft has been a reference in the world of freeride snowboarding. What sets it apart is the extreme lift it offers in powder snow. Its name Hovercraft is proof of this, as it glides on the surface of the powder.

The reason it is so comfortable in the snow is due to its Directional Rocker profile, with a very pronounced front rocker and a nose that is wider than the tail, which allows the nose to glide over the fresh snow. The lower rocker in the back, the slight swallow-tail and the shift of your centre of gravity backwards push the tail into the snow allowing for unparalleled agility. In the meantime, the 3D Base Contour 3.0 technology curves the tips upwards, which further increases the feeling of flying over the snow.

But powder isn't the only area where the Hovercraft excels. Featuring the famous Traction Tech 3.0 edges, the edge/snow contact points are multiplied and ensure grip on packed snow.

Added to this is a layer of Biax Fiberglass which offers an excellent redistribution of energy when tensioned, the rigid flex of 7/10 and the Progressive Sidecut turn radius of 9,3m (in 156 cm), you get a Hovercraft making you capable of carving turn after turn!

The Women's Hovercraft is a snowboard that will allow riders to enjoy freeriding to the fullest with a board that is versatile enough to be ridden every day on the slopes, when conditions are not perfect.

This is the most eco-friendly board from Jones (see technical specifications).

Please note that the Hovercraft snowboard is designed to be ridden 6-8 cm shorter than your usual board.

Camber:

Directional Rocker : Classic camber combined with rocker, for greater lift and grip in all snow conditions. The longer tip rocker improves float, while the camber ensures edge hold and response. The shorter tail rocker not only provides the same power and stability than other boards, but prevents catch when entering turns and landing switch.

Shape :

Directional : The nose is longer and wider than the tail and the inserts have been set back on the back of the board. These features provide more lift in powder.

Blunt Nose: the blunt nose provides the lift benefits of a longer nose without the rounded shape and extra weight.

Traction Tech 1.0 : Strategically placed serrated edges to counteract the negative effect of the rocker and increase edge grip on the snow.

3D Contour Base 3.0: convex base. The edges are raised by 7mm in comparison to the centre of the board.

Progressive Sidecut : The radius at the ends of the sidecut is slightly increased as the edge reaches the contact points. This larger radius ensures a smoother ride when entering and exiting turns.

Technology :

- Forever Flex: A manufacturing process that durably stabilizes the flex and rocker profile of the board.

- Classic Core : Premium poplar wood core ensures a good pop and a constant and durable flex.

- Biax Fiberglass : a dual-directional fibreglass laminate for a precise and responsive board, whatever the terrain and snow conditions.

- Engineered Wood Veneer : New veneered wood composite topsheets made from sustainable wood. It softens the ride and absorbs the vibration of the board

- Laser Engraved Graphics : no ink is used on the topsheet, all logos and inscriptions are laser engraved to be more environmentally friendly. The Hovercraft range is the only one to use this innovation.

- Sintered 8000 base : Sole made of UHMW-PE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and carbon. Extremely easy to repair, it also offers maximum glide properties.

- Recycled ABS: - The ABS plastics in Jones boards are made from recycled plastic.

- Wend Natural Wax : Waxed with natural Wend wax, Jones boards are ready to use straight from the factory.

- Bio Resin: All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy.

Team review

Le shape vous fait hésiter ? Surtout pas, c'est ce qui fait sa grande force. Agressive et stable en poudreuse, l'Hovercraft est aussi facile à manier sur la piste et sur neige difficile.

Difficile de croire que cette planche nous emmènera partout avec ce shape très freeride, mais elle se révèle bien polyvalente : une portance et une facilité en poudreuse déconcertante, sans parler de l'accroche sur piste et sur neige trafollée ! Avec l'Hovercraft, il est aisé d'enchainement des runs impressionnants !

Le snowboard Hovercraft est un vrai régal et pourra vite devenir votre planche unique de la saison!
