Description

The freeride foundation

Ideal for freeriding and fall line freestyle

The Flagship is one of the most confidence inspiring freeride boards on the planet and excels in powder and technical terrain. This board floats, carves, stomps and straight lines with unbelievable precision thanks to a proven tapered directional shape. This is a board that can take your riding to the next level and help you become one of the hardest charging riders on the mountain.

Key Benefits

Mid-stiff flex for power and control

Tapered directional shape for nimble float

Directional rocker profile for float + grip

Long sidecut for stability at speed

Flax / Basalt Stringers and Engineered Veneer Topsheet to absorb chatter in rough snow

3D Contour Base for ultra fast glide and fluid turn intiation

Traction Tech 3.0 Traction Tech 3.0 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip.

2. 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.

Tapered shape, 12.5 mm The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.

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

Directional Flex Pattern Off set tip-to-tail flex pattern that is designed for directional freeride boards. The nose, center of board and tail are slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink the tail and improve stability at speed.

V-Core Jones exclusive wood core profiling that offers a stable and playful board feel. The wood core is softer between the feet for easy turn initiation and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability riding through uneven terrain and landing airs.

Base - Wend Natural Wax Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax. Flip-Flop Base Producing two or more base color options minimizes p-tex waste. Order may be filled with either color. Color does not vary by size. Sintered 9900 Base Made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and Carbon. This ultra-fast base is easy to repair thanks to the UHMW-PE.

Fiber - Triax fiberglass Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.

Insert pack - Float Pack Allows super setback stance for deep pow days.

Other features - Forever Flex Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime. Factory Tuned All Jones Snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain. Recycled ABS Sidewalls ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic. Oversized recycled edges All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability. Bio Resin Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.

Reinforcements - Sustainable Flax/Basalt Power stringers Sustainable stringer made with 100% natural fibers. Basalt stringers improve torsional response and transfer power from under your feet to the tips of the board to eliminate nose and tail chatter.

Topsheet -  Engineered Wood Veneer New composite wood veneer topsheets. Wood veneer topsheets dampen ride and absorb board chatter.

Woodcore - Power Core Triple-density full wood core featuring hardwood bamboo stringers for added pop and durability plus paulownia for weight savings.
