Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Snowboard | 2026
The Evolved All-Conditions Charger
The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 2026 is a modern evolution of one of the most iconic freeride shapes ever built — redesigned to deliver more speed, better float, and smoother control across every condition. Built for riders who want to charge hard, carve deep, and float effortlessly in powder, the Hovercraft 2.0 is a compact, volume-shifted board that rides shorter without sacrificing performance.
The defining update on the 2.0 is the 3D Contour Base 3.0 — featuring 12mm of spoon bevel in the nose for lightning-fast turn initiation and a 3D hull in the tail that reduces friction and adds glide. Together these shape changes make the board noticeably more energetic, easier to turn, and less taxing on your legs across a full day on the hill. The directional rocker profile keeps the nose floating in soft snow while camber underfoot provides edge hold and response when you need to drive hard.
The Re-Up Tech Core is built from responsibly harvested Paulownia and Poplar with embedded stringers made from reclaimed snowboards — old boards repurposed back into new ones. The Sustainable Flax Topsheet replaces a traditional synthetic topsheet with carbon-neutral flax fibre that absorbs chatter and reduces resin content. Recycled ABS sidewalls, oversize recycled steel edges, and Bio Resin epoxy complete the construction — a board that's genuinely built with sustainability at its core, not just marketed that way.
