Jones Hovercraft 2.0 2027 – Powder Snowboard

The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 is a dedicated powder snowboard built for riders who live for deep days — from tree runs and open bowls to the occasional groomer in between. Designed for intermediate to expert riders who want a nimble, surfy feel in soft snow without giving up control when conditions firm up.

Built around a volume-shifted directional shape, the Hovercraft 2.0 lets you ride a shorter length than usual while maintaining float and stability in powder. Its Float CamRock profile pairs a long nose rocker with full tail camber for effortless float in deep snow and real grip when you carve back to the lift. Flex sits at a medium and lively 7 out of 10 — responsive without being punishing. The Re-Up Tech core blends responsibly harvested Paulownia and Poplar with stringers reclaimed from old snowboards, wrapped in biaxial fiberglass and a flax fiber layer that kills chatter. The high-tapered outline and Speed Hull tail geometry round out a construction focused on maneuverability at speed, while the Sintered 8000 base keeps things fast and easy to maintain.

The Hovercraft 2.0 is the right call for intermediate to expert riders who get to the mountain specifically on powder days. The volume-shifted design rewards riders willing to size down — you'll feel more surf, less slog. It also handles mixed conditions well enough that it won't punish you when the powder gets tracked out.

• Can I ride the Hovercraft 2.0 as my only board? It can handle groomed runs, but it's optimized for soft snow and untracked terrain. If you ride 50% or more on piste, a more versatile all-mountain board may serve you better.
