Excellent condition legendary Jones directional “Hovercraft” POW board. Awesome board with a cult following for a reason. Description from Jones website below. Minor scratches only, base has been lovingly waxed and maintained. Paid $466 retail when purchased in 2021 and has only seen about 15 days on mountain as a quiver board since then. Open to counteroffers and bundling with bindings and boots I’m also selling separately. ************ It's almost like you're not even touching the ground, dude! With performance so good you might want to sell your car and just snowboard everywhere, the Jones Hovercraft Snowboard is the quiver-emptying deck for seasoned riders who want a nimble freeride board that can do everything. Rail a deep turn on hardpack and ice or mash a high speed line through the steep and deep, the Jones Hovercraft Snowboard will just laugh at the challenge. Rocker Type Directional Rocker – A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch. Blunt Nose – "How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep is dictated by it's front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the 'snow plow' rounded tip and it's extra swing weight." - Jeremy Jones Progressive Sidecut – At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition. Swallow Tail – Mild swallow tail lets the nose of the board float higher in powder.
