2.0 - Moderate 3D Contour Base

3D Contour Base tuned for all-terrain featuring 4mm spoon bevel in the nose and 0 to 4mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel start just before contact point.

Wend Natural Wax

Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.

Sintered 8000 Base

New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easily repairable, highly wax absorbent and wicked fast.

3D Flip Tip

3D Flip Tip maximizes float in deep powder, enhances glide and turn initiation, while reducing tip catch in rough terrain.

Koroyd

Koroyd is the lightest, most advanced damping core material we've ever tested. Koroyd absorbs vibrations and adds response at a fraction of the weight which enhances control and confidence.

Triax fiberglass

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

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.

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.

Forever Flex

Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.

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.

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.

Premium Eco Topsheet

Durable and scratch resistant bio-plastic topsheet made from castor beans that's engineered to provide exceptional abrasion and impact resistance while minimizing environmental impact.

Power Core

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

Built for full throttle freeriding and freestyle

Slicing turns down ridiculously steep faces and spinning tricks off massive cliff drops doesn’t just take talent, it takes confidence in your abilities and trust in your equipment. You gotta believe you can stomp and that your board set-up is ready for anything.

The Howler is Victor and Elena Hight’s ultimate freeride board. It’s purpose built to give these two phenomenally talented athletes the confidence they need to ride high stakes lines that blur the boundaries between freestyle and freeriding.

Matching a mid-stiff flex with a unique full camber profile that extends the apex of the camber past the back inserts is what gives the Howler such stomping power. The extra camber in the tail makes the Howler super poppy on takeoff and incredibly stable on touch down.

The goal for the Howler was to make a freeride board that had the power to stomp harder and spin faster. This is a board for riders who want to test their freestyle skills in steep terrain.

– Victor De Le Rue

The Howler’s construction features ultralight Koroyd in the nose section of the wood core to decrease spin weight and BCOMP Carbon Flax stringers under both bindings to suck up chatter and add torsional stiffness. 3D Flip Tips improve float and help the nose and tail slice through variable snow.

The Howler’s blunted and minimally tapered shape offers the float benefits of taper without compromising switch riding performance. The shape also maximises effective edge length allowing the Howler to be ridden true-to-size. Victor rides the Howler 161cm on the Freeride World Tour.

The Howler is truly my perfect board. I can trust it in any terrain because it's super stable riding fast and the tail is amazing for landing big tricks.
