Tapered directional shape for nimble float:
Directional shapes maximize float, speed and response for supreme freeride performance and all-mountain versatility.
Directional rocker profile for float + grip:
A camber dominant profile that’s enhanced with rocker in the nose and little to no rocker in the tail. Nose rocker improves float and maneuverability in deep snow, while camber from the front binding through the tail offers solid edge grip, precise response and confidence inspiring stability.
High 3D Contour Base:
Freeride focused 3D Contour Base featuring 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0 to 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just before contact point.
High Traction Tech:
Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.
BComp Carbon Flax Stringer:
BComp Carbon / Flax stringers offer the perfect performance balance as the carbon provides crazy pop and the flax sucks up chatter and reduces CO2 emissions compared to a full carbon stringer. Developed in collaboration with the Swiss engineering firm BComp.
Power Core:
Advanced triple-density full wood core made from responsibly harvested Bamboo, Paulownia and Poplar. Centered Bamboo stringers enhance durability, pop and torsional stiffness, while the Paulownia keeps the core light and damp.
Biax Fiberglass:
Biaxial fiberglass laminate made with a dual layer, dual-directional construction that delivers a forgiving yet snappy board feel with a mid-soft torsional flex and quick energy transfer.
Sintered 8000 Base:
Premium sintered base material that’s ultra fast, highly wax absorbent, easy to repair and proven to be one of the most durable and long lasting base materials in the industry.
Flip-Flop Base:
Jones models with Flip-Flop bases are made in two base colorways to minimize P-Tex waste. Orders may be filled with either color and color does not vary by size.
Premium Topsheet:
Durable and scratch resistant premium topsheet engineered to endure rigorous daily use in extreme conditions.
Recycled ABS & Edges:
Recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish that are engineered to enhance durability by reducing topsheet chipping and impact damage.
Bombproof steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting durability.
Float Pack:
Extra set of inserts allows super setback stance for deep pow days.
Sustainability:
BComp Carbon Flax Stringer. Fair Trade. Solar Powered Production. Built with Bio-resin. Recycled Sidewalls and Edges. Wend Bio Wax. Sustainably Harvested Wood.
So this is a tricky area. A lot of variation based on riding style, ability, gender; some boards your ride a little shorter or longer than standard. But use this chart as a good basis, and feel free to get in touch about any specific board sizing for your needs.
To decide between two sizes, choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance, choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
