Jones Snowboards: Shapes & Tech

BASE TECH

3D contour bases:

Nobody wants a choppy and rough run. The descents you dream about are dynamic and smooth. Inspired by the rounded bottom contours of surf boards, 3D Contour Bases are designed to make every run smoother and every turn more effortless by reducing the drag of the board tips. 3D Contour Bases enhance glide and improve float helping you ride faster and with better flow.

3D CONTOUR BASE 4.0:

Jones' most advanced 3D Contour Base design featuring 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose, 4mm in the tail and a 1mm deep Speed Channel between the tail edges. The concave Speed Channel pushes loose snow out from under the board for added speed.

3D Contour Base 3.0:

Freeride focused 3D Contour Base featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.

3D CONTOUR BASE 2.0:

Moderate 3D Contour Base featuring an even balance of 4mm spoon bevel in the nose and 4mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.

3D CONTOUR BASE 1.0:

Subtle yet effective 3D Contour Base featuring an even balance of 2mm spoon bevel in the nose and 2mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just after the rocker point.

SNOWBOARD PROFILES

Christensen surf Design:

Custom tip/tail rocker profile designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson for the Mind Expander, Mountain Surfer and Storm Chaser. The nose rocker starts just inside of the front inserts and the tail rocker starts just at the back inserts. When you weight the tail of the board the nose ramps up out of the snow for insane float on the deepest days. These subtle rocker contours match a Christenson surfboard rocker profile.

 

Directional Rocker:

A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.

 

camrock:

A unique rocker/camber flex pattern defined by the evenly balanced tip and tail rocker and camber between the bindings. CAMROCK improves freestyle finesse by keeping your tips playful while maintaining the power and pop of camber underfoot.

 

POWER CAMBER:

An innovative traditional camber profile tweaked to offer the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. The camber radius tapers to flat toward the tips and the base is beveled up one degree at the edges from the contact points of the camber to the ends of the board. The base beveling releases the edges where they like to hook which balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser, less-catchy feel.

 

Snowboard Components

(1) TOPSHEET

ECO-PLASTIC TOPSHEET:

Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet)

TEXTURED ECO-PLASTIC TOPSHEET:

Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans featuring a subtle texture for added durability. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet)

SUPER SAP BIO RESIN:

All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are coproducts or waste products of other plantbased industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy.

FSC ENGINEERED VENEER:

New composite wood veneer topsheets made from 100% FSC certified wood. Wood veneer topsheets dampen ride and absorb board chatter.

WOOD TOPSHEET (ASH & BAMBOO):

Thin wood veneer layer that functions as both a protective topsheet and a global reinforcement layer. The thin wood stringers that make up the wood topsheet provide even flex and suck up chatter from uneven snow conditions.

 

(2) fibRES

FLAX:

Flax fiber represents the future of sustainable snowboard manufacturing as this natural fiber is lighter then carbon and fiberglass and is 100% bio-sourced. The Flax also uses less resin in the board layup which saves more weight and synthetic materials. Flax fibers are used in place of a traditional topsheet and offer a damp ride that absorbs chatter at any speed.

2X TEXTREME CARBON:

Specially designed carbon fiber (12k noncrimp fabric) that is podium proven in the America’s Cup and Tour De France. TeXtreme achieves a weight savings of about 20-30% compared to conventional carbon fiber.

TRIAX FIBERGLASS:

Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.

BIAX FIBERGLASS:

A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.

 

(3) REINFORCEMENTS

WEB FUSED CARBON:

Web Fused Carbon - New carbon stringer pack that blends different widths of carbon matched to the specific needs of the board model. Featured on the surf collection models to eliminate nose vibration and on the Solution splitboard as a reinforcement under the binding. Made in the USA, EXCLUSIVE for Jones.

CARBON STRINGERS:

Carbon stringers add torsional stiffness for improved response and increased pop. Carbon layer keeps flex profile dimensionally stable for a consistent ride for the lifetime of the board.

BASALT POWER STRINGERS:

New sustainable stringer made with 100% natural fibers. Basalt stringers improve torsional response and transfer power from under your feet to the tips of the board to help eliminate nose and tail chatter.

FLAX/BASALT POWER STRINGERS:

New Jones exclusive sustainable stringer made with 100% natural fibers. Composite Flax and Basalt stringer helps transfer power to the edges, improves torsional response and absorbs board chatter.

CARBON/INNEGRA REINFORCEMENT:

New Carbon Innegra fiber forms an ultratough hybrid composite layer that dampens the board torsionally and from tip to tail. Made in the USA and featured on the Aviator, Airheart and Lone Wolf.

FIBERGLASS REINFORCEMENT:

Fiberglass layer improves pop in nose and tail plus increases the longevity of the flex profile. This lightweight layer helps the board perform the same on day 100 as it did on day one - precise and playful.

 

(4) WOODCORES

All Jones woodcores are now made with Forest REINFORCEMENTS TOPSHEET Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood. Every piece of wood we use in every board comes from a responsibly managed forest.

FSC ULTRA CORE:

The new Ultra Core is Jones' lightest wood core yet. Core is made from mostly paulownia with specially positioned poplar stringers for better durability and turn power.

FSC ULTRA SPLIT CORE:

The new Ultra Split Core is our lightest split wood core yet. Core is made from mostly paulownia with specially positioned poplar stringers for better durability and turn power.

FSC POWER CORE:

Triple-density full wood core featuring hardwood bamboo stringers for added pop and durability plus paulownia for weight savings.

FSC CLASSIC CORE:

Full wood premium poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex, and solid durability.

FSC CONTROL CORE:

FSC MOUNTAIN CORE:

Dual-density full wood core with hardwood bamboo stringers for added pop and durability.

FSC BAMBOO SURF CORE:

Re-designed triple density Bamboo Surf wood core that features primarily paulownia stringers with bamboo stringers positioned in the pocket of the sidecut for better edge response and turn power.

FSC CONTROL SPLIT CORE:

Dual-density full premium wood core designed specifically for splitboards 2:1 paulownia to poplar stringer ratio keeps core light yet ultra damp

 

(5) EDGES

OVERSIZED RECYCLED EDGES:

All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.

THIN RECYCLED EDGES:

Advancements in ski edge durability allow Jones to use thinner edges on splitboard inside edges (and Project X outside edges) to save weight. Outside edges are 2mm, inside edges are 1.5mm.

 

(6) BASE

ULTRA BASE:

New Jones exclusive base material that sets new performance standards. Lab results and snow testing show 25% better wax absorption, better glide in warm/wet snow and better durability for grinding. We’ve also doubled the amount of wax and mixed multiple wax types for a faster factory wax in a wider range of conditions.

SINTERED 9900 BASE:

Made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and Carbon. This ultra-fast base is easy to repair thanks to the UHMW-PE.

SINTERED 7000 BASE:

Durable natural base material with added carbon for speed and good wax absorbency.

EXTRUDED 5000 BASE:
