The Evolved All-Conditions Charger
The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 2026 is a next-generation all-mountain machine, designed for riders who demand high-speed stability, precision carving, and effortless float in deep snow. As one of our best-selling models for Australian snowboarders heading to Japan, the Hovercraft 2.0 is built to slash powder, charge through variable terrain, and rip technical tree lines with confidence.
A modern evolution of the cult-classic Hovercraft, this board has been redesigned with advanced 3D shaping technology and groundbreaking recycled materials, making it the most environmentally responsible board in the Jones lineup.
Featuring a long sidecut for stability at speed, a tapered directional shape for nimble float, and a Directional Rocker profile, the Hovercraft 2.0 delivers powerful response and precise control in all conditions. The newly engineered 12mm spoon bevel in the nose enhances turn initiation, while the 3D hull in the tail boosts glide and acceleration. Built using the Jones Re-Up Program, the Hovercraft 2.0 is the first board in the Jones line to incorporate reclaimed snowboard materials, setting a new benchmark for performance and sustainability.
Now a unisex model, available in sizes for every rider, the Hovercraft 2.0 is ready to win over powder lovers, freeriders, and all-mountain rippers alike.
