The Ultimate Powder Rocket
The Jones Storm Chaser 2026 is one of the best powder snowboards for Australians hunting deep snow in Japan, delivering magical float, effortless turn initiation, and high-speed carving performance. Designed by legendary surf shaper Chris Christenson, this power-packed swallowtail blends surf-inspired shaping with cutting-edge snowboard technology, creating a board that pops out of powder, rips deep carves, and feels alive underfoot.
The C. Camber Surf Rocker profile and 3D Contour Base 3.0 work together to maximize float, reduce edge catch, and generate powerful drive through every turn. The ultra-wide waist width and directional taper allow the Storm Chaser to ride shorter while still maintaining insane float, while the Sintered 8000 Base ensures maximum glide and durability.
With a Bamboo Surf Core and V-Core profiling, the Storm Chaser is stable yet playful, while Basalt and Flax Power Stringers enhance torsional response and dampening for a smooth ride through all conditions. Whether you’re slashing through Japan’s bottomless powder, trenching carves in Aussie resorts, or seeking out side hits and natural transitions, the Storm Chaser is built to amplify your surf-inspired riding style.
