Hovercraft 2.0 2027

The Hovercraft 2.0 from Jones is a benchmark in the freeride snowboard world. What sets it apart is the extreme floatation it offers in powder.

Its name Hovercraft, which means air-cushion vehicle in French, is proof of this—it glides on the surface of the powder. This new 2.0 version has been slightly redesigned to provide a more aggressive turn initiation and better glide.

Its Directional Rocker profile features a very pronounced rocker at the nose, allowing your centre of gravity to shift to the rear to sink the tail into the snow and thus feel unparalleled agility and floatation. The High 3D Base Contour technology curves the extremities upwards, further enhancing the sensation of flying above the snow. Finally, its considerable waist width allows you to effortlessly float over fresh powder.

Powder is not the only terrain where the Hovercraft 2.0 excels. Equipped with serrated edges High Traction Tech, the edge/snow contact points are multiplied, ensuring reliable grip on groomed snow. Add to this a layer of Biax Fiberglass which offers excellent energy redistribution when flexed, a stiff flex rating of 3/5, and a large turn radius (9 m at 156 cm size), and you get a board capable of chaining endless carved turns!



Snowleader tip: choose a size 6 to 8 cm shorter than your usual board.
