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.
Featuring a tapered directional shape, directional rocker profile, and a mid-stiff flex, the Hovercraft 2.0 blends stability, power, and manoeuvrability into one highly versatile freeride machine. The longer sidecut keeps it composed at speed, while the wide platform and floaty nose provide effortless lift in soft snow. Updated 3D shaping improves glide and turn initiation, giving the board a smooth, surf-inspired feel in everything from powder to groomers.
Built with Jones’ Re-Up Program materials, the Hovercraft 2.0 also leads the way in sustainability — incorporating recycled snowboard materials without compromising performance. Whether you're chasing powder in Japan or carving up Australian resorts, this is a board that thrives in all conditions.
