Jones Hovercraft Splitboard - Men's
Hovercraft Splitboard - Men's
The Jones Hovercraft Splitboard is a straight-up backcountry weapon, with features that make this an essential arrow in your quiver. Not exactly an all-arounder, the Hovercraft rejoices in the deep and soft thanks to it's nimble, squat outline. A generous blunt nose, directional rocker, and a swallow-esque tail provide peerless float, while the shorter running length serves up exceptional maneuverability and turn initiation while you navigate the trees.
Float and super-maneuverability aside, the Hovercraft can ditch the surfing and drive like a resort board thanks to a stiffer flex. Traction Tech 1.0 edges scoff at iced-up skin tracks, traverses across unexpected crud, and windblown nastiness, providing a stable ride and wicked turn initiation, especially in tandem with the deck's shorter running length, which allows you to get on plane in a snap.
