Hovercraft Splitboard - 2023 - Women's

Why We Like The Jones Snowboards Hovercraft Splitboard

A favorite of ours for a few reasons, the Jones Hovercraft Splitboard excels on deep days with effortless float, fluid turn initiation, and precise control across icy steeps. A tapered directional shape sinks the rear end in powder, with the gigantic nose weightlessly floating up and across the snow. In less-than-ideal conditions, the responsive camber rails aggressive carves and locks into firm snow. An engineered veneer topsheet gives the Hovercraft Split a smooth feel with a natural look, while recycled rounded ABS sidewalls bolster durability in an eco-friendly construction process.
