Hovercraft 2.0 Far East Limited 2027
Freeride snowboard - Unisex -
The Hovercraft 2.0 Far East Limited 2027 from the brand Jones is a benchmark in the freeride snowboard scene. What sets it apart is the extreme floatation it offers in powder.
Its name Hovercraft, literally meaning air-cushion vehicle, is proof of this, as it glides on the surface of the powder. This new 2.0 version has been slightly redesigned to provide a more aggressive turn initiation as well as better glide.
Its Directional Rocker profile features a very pronounced rocker at the front, allowing your centre of gravity to stay back to press the tail into the snow and thus experience unparalleled agility and floatation. The High 3D Base Contour technology curves the tips upwards, further enhancing the sensation of flying above the snow. Finally, its substantial waist width helps you float over fresh powder.
Powder is not the only domain where the Hovercraft 2.0 Far East Limited excels. Equipped with serrated edges High Traction Tech, the contact points between edge and snow are multiplied, ensuring reliable grip on packed snow. Add to that a layer of Biax Fiberglass which provides excellent energy rebound when flexed, a stiff flex rating of 3/5, and a large turning radius (9 m at 156 cm length), 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.

| DIRECTIONAL CAMBER/ROCKER | Enhanced dominant camber with rocker in the nose and little to no rocker in the tail.
