The board is snow as is, with a Karakoram Ultra Clip included.



- Camber:
Directional Rocker: classic camber with rocker for greater float and grip in all snow conditions. Longer and more pronounced rocker on the front of the board to increase lift with a camber under the feet for grip and responsiveness. The shorter tail rocker not only provides the same power and stability than other boards, but prevents catch when entering turns and landing switch.
- Shape:
Directional: classic shape with the nose slightly longer than the tail for lift off-piste.
Directional Flex pattern
Blunt Nose: Curved nose to improve the glide and resistance the grip of the snow and therefore reduces the "ploughing" effect of the nose.
Inside & Outside Traction Tech 2.0: The serrated edges offer multiple contact points along the board. This technology counteracts the negative effect of the rocker which reduces the edge/snow contact length of your board. The edges are corrugated, including those to the side of the centre of the board.
Progressive Sidecut: At each end of the edges, the curve radius is increased at the contact points. This larger radius ensures a smoother ride when entering and exiting turns.
- Flex - 7/10 - Stiff flex.
- Core:
FSC™ Classic Core: Slovenian poplar wood core for fun pop and flex durability..
FSC™ Engineered Wood Veneer: a very thin composite veneer that provides good flex distribution and absorbs vibration even on uneven snow conditions.
- Topsheet
Biax Fiberglass: double layer of fibreglass snow in both directions for a fun and forgiving board.
Sole
- Sintered 8000 base: durable sole with carbon for speed and good wax absorption.
-Flip-Flop base: manufacturing process reducing waste related to the sole. Two colours available, delivered randomly.
Technologies:
Karakoram Clip: Jones splitboards have Karakoram clips as well as hooks on the nose and tail. The tension-adjustable K-bindings improve the torsional rigidity of the board
Super Sap Bio Resin: all Jones boards are now on built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than traditional epoxy.
Quick Tension Tail: The Quick Tension system is a lightweight solution unique to boards by Jones from 2016 onwards (except the Discovery). Jones splitboards have a notch in the tail of each board that allows the Quick Tension clip to pass through the notch and hold the skin. For 2018, the Quick Tension clip has been completely redesigned and now features a rubber tail strap and a compact metal clip.
Oversized Recycled Edges: edges made of recycled steel.
Recycled Rounded ABS: ABS plastic in Jones boards is made from recycled plastic.
Wend Natural Wax: ready to use as soon as they leave the factory, Jones snowboards are already coated with Wend Natural Wax.
Stainless Steel Reinforcement: Stainless steel plates are integrated into the nose and tail to improve the strength of the board's tips.
Forever Flex: a new process that helps maintain the same level of flex throughout the life of the board
Factory tuned: ready to go as soon as they leave the store. Jones boards can hit the slopes straight away!
Karakoram Ultra Clips 1.0: Jones splitboards have Karakoram clips as well as hooks on the nose and tail. The tension-adjustable K-bindings improve the torsional rigidity of the board. Ultra clips are the strongest and thinnest in the world
Le gain de poids apporté par le shape court de la splitboard Hovercraft Split est un réel avantage pour cette planche aussi bien faite pour la montée que pour la descente. Pouvant surprendre la première fois qu'on la chausse en mode ski, la taille facilite la maniabilité à la montée.
Côté descente, les nouveaux clips Karakoram permettent à la board de conserver une rigidité uniforme et ne se déforme pas trop. On peut donc attaquer facilement et s'engager avec précision. Grâce au tail court et rigide et cambre classique, la planche Hovercraft Split tient le pavé lorsque la neige devient plus accidentée.
Les Plus : Portance, maniable et fiable.
Les Moins : R.A.S.
