Why We Like The Jones Ultralight Hovercraft 2.0 Splitboard
The Jones Ultralight Hovercraft 2.0 Splitboard is incredibly lightweight and offers exceptional maneuverability, making it perfect for deep powder days and steep terrain. With its short, directional shape, the board sinks the rear end in powder while the blunt nose effortlessly glides over the snow. The innovative combination of Fusion and Koroyd core materials, along with the futuristic Ultra construction, provides a zero-gravity feel without compromising durability. The Traction Tech 2.0 and reliable camber profile ensure precise control for a smooth descent, while the additional contact points improve stability on the skin track.
We're particularly impressed by Jones's commitment to eco-friendly construction. They use recycled, repurposed, and bio-based materials in the majority of their boards, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
