I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

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.

Details

Experience the perfect blend of lightness, speed, and power with this backcountry powerhouse. The camber profile and blunt, rockered nose provide unbeatable float on fresh powder. The Fusion core is Jones' lightest wood core to date, and the aerospace-grade Koroyd material ensures optimal performance and dampens vibrations. The serrated edges enhance grip for effortless ascents and a stable ride. With Karakoram Ultra Clips and built-in tail clips, the board simplifies the trek. This board is also responsibly crafted with recycled and bio-based materials, and it's free from harmful inks.
