Jones Flagship Men's Snowboard
All Jones snowboards and splitboards have two color variations of the Flip-Flop Base, which reduces production waste. The color variant of the base is random, not tied to a specific size.
The Jones Flagship snowboard excels in technical terrain and powder and is one of the most reliable freeride boards on the planet. This board floats, cuts, and flies on the groomers with perfect precision thanks to the tuned directional shape with taper in the tail. Take it to the next level and become a phantom of the slopes, whizzing through any terrain with speed and breathtaking precision.
Medium flex and hybrid rocker flex give you perfect control and float. And because this board isn't for sissies, it has a larger sidecut to promote stability at high speeds. Special 3D shaping allows you to initiate your turn easily without sacrificing grip, and to make the ride as smooth as possible, the board is packed with technologies that are great at dampening vibrations. Lean into it and experience a new dimension of snowboarding!
Specifications
- Flex: 4/5
- Level: advanced, expert
- Terrain: downhill, all-mountain 9/10; freeride, powder 10/10; freestyle, park 5/10
- Directional shape
- Profile: Directional Rocker – hybrid rocker/camber. Increased maneuverability and, thanks to greater lift, it has better buoyancy in deep snow. The camber camber directly under the binding improves response and holds on the edges.
- Float Pack Inserts - allow greater setback for a better powder experience.
- Sintered 9900 Base – made of very high molecular weight polyethylene in combination with carbon; already waxed with WEND natural wax from the factory.
- Triax Fiberglass Laminate – a multi-axis fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride on any terrain; steel edges are around the entire board
- 3D Contour Base 3.0 – freeride 3D contours with an evenly balanced 7mm bevel in the nose and tail. The spoon taper starts at the rocker point. This 3D shaping is used for dynamic and smooth descents, intuitive entry into the turn and better floating in powder.
- Topsheet Engineered Wood Veneer - from composite wood veneer; they dampen the ride and absorb the vibration of the board
- Power Core wooden core – all-wood core with triple material density. Bamboo hardwood beams for added pop and durability plus paulownia for weight reduction.
- Forever Flex – a new manufacturing process that helps maintain the same level of flex and camber throughout the life of the board
Shape Tech
- Traction Tech 3.0 – features three bumps on the edge; the middle bump is slightly larger than the outer bumps for better grip
- Blunt Nose – shape adapted to the nose of the board, which floats better in deep snow and prevents slowing down in powder
- Progressive Sidecut – gradually increasing cutting radius for smoother turn initiation and exit, the edge smoothly exits the turn without a sudden transition
- Narrowed Shape of 12.5 mm - the tail sinks more into the snow and gives you a better feeling of floating
Sustainable Technologies
- Wend natural wax – bases treated with natural wax are ready to go straight from the box to the slopes.
- Bio resin – using a greater proportion of resin from natural raw materials, instead of from oil. The production of bio resin reduces the production of greenhouse gases by 33%.
- Strong Recycled Edges - Oversized recycled edges are more sustainable and stronger
- Stiffeners - sustainable flax and basalt support torsional response and energy transfer to both ends of the board, eliminating vibration
- Flip-Flop Base – each model is produced with a slide in 2 color variations, thereby reducing waste during production; the color variant is random, not tied to a specific size.
- Sidewalls from recycled ABS
- Sustainable wood sourcing – all cores are made from trees that are sustainably grown
- Solar Power – the energy for the production of all Jones snowboards is now 100% obtained from the sun.
- 1% For The Planet – the Jones brand is part of a program through which 1% of every sale goes to environmental organizations.
- Fair Trade Certified - Jones snowboards and splitboards are the first on the market to be Fair Trade certified. This guarantees that the people who made the boards received a fair reward for their work.
How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
