The Jones Hovercraft Snowboard 2023 is the ultimate freeride board that has gained a cult following for its nimble maneuverability and diverse performance. Its unique, compact shape features a short tail and long sidecut that allows you to rip turns of any size. Designed to be ridden shorter than your average freeride board, this trim shape packs serious surface area in a small package. The Hovercraft boasts serious float in any snow condition thanks to its directional rocker profile and 3D Contour Base 3.0 technology. For added edge grip, it also features Traction Tech 3.0 edges.
Key Features:
- Unique, compact shape with short tail and long sidecut for turns of any size.
- Traction Tech 3.0 edges for added edge grip.
- Engineered Veneer Topsheet and black + transparent base plus laser etched topsheet markings eliminate all solvent inks for the most sustainably produced men's board ever made.

The Jones Hovercraft is renowned for its exceptional performance in powder snow and it doesn't disappoint. It can make quick turns and navigate through tight trees or variable terrain with ease. The directional shape and setback stance provide stability, allowing riders to maintain control even at high speeds. While the Hovercraft can handle groomed runs, it may not provide the... Read more
Ideal for
- Unique shape, featuring a wide nose and a tapered tail, allows for excellent floatation and maneuverability in deep snow.
- Can make quick turns and navigate through tight trees or variable terrain with ease
- Can also handle other snow conditions, including groomed runs and variable terrain, making it a versatile choice for all-mountain riding.
Not ideal for
- Its focus on powder and all-mountain performance means it may not offer the same pop or flexibility as a dedicated park board.
- Stiffer flex and more aggressive profile make it less forgiving for beginner riders or those with less experience

Thomas Joswiak owns this product
The Jones hovercraft is one of the most versatile directional boards of this decade. The Hovercraft offers incredible edge to edge connection on hardpack days while maintaining ample float when the stashes are deep. The carving that comes from this board and its 3D spoon bevel technology are sensational, almost effortless, but don't let that fool you into thinking this... Read more
Ideal for
- Floating in fields of powder.
- Carving trenches in corduroy.
- One board quiver.
Not ideal for
- Size down. This board is meant to be sized down. If not, it can be a LOT of board.

Can't stop using it
Originally posted at www.jonessnowboards.com on Sep 13, 2024I've been splitboarding only for 5 years and the hovercraft is my first snowboard ever. I'm so stoked on how fast, agile and fun it is, from groomers to botomless powder days. Actually, it is so good that lately i'm leaving my splitboard and skins at home and walking my self up to take the best out of the mountain on this board.

History lesson: This board shape changed the game
Originally posted at www.jonessnowboards.com on Mar 12, 2024A long time ago, my wife wanted a ring. I agreed to it on one condition...She had to give me a Hovercraft in return. We've both been very happy ever since.

5 /5
There’s some type of feeling that you get when you feel taken care of when buying something whether that be in store or online. Victor continuously does just that! I came back and he never let me down. Response time is great, knowledgeable, friendly, and an all around great guy. He was able to narrow down so many options based on my experience level and abilities along with what I’m searching for in the product. Come to find out he demo’d the product I got and he mentioned to me that he enjoys the product arguably more than what he’s riding. I will be returning when I’m in need of something else and I will be rekindling my friendship with Victor!

The robots failed me in my initial chat experience so Ryan stepped in. At first I was very nervous about this entire process but he listened to everything I said and tailored my build to suit my needs. He was kind and attentive in answering all of my questions, and even recommended some other gear that I've been searching for. I knew buying my own equipment for the first time ever was going to be expensive but I believe I am getting my money's worth for the value of the kit he put together. Thank you, Ryan, for giving me a chance and being patient with me. I hope your boss reads this and buys you lunch. You deserve it.

Jared was wonderful!
5 /5
I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment we started, Jared’s extensive knowledge and genuine passion for snowboarding shone through. He took the time to understand my needs and recommendations that perfectly suited me.
Jared’s expertise is remarkable but beyond his knowledge, Jared was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience.

Alec was great. He was able to help so much. I have been looking to buy skis for 3 years now and didn't have an idea on where to start on this site. I knew that there was some cost to invest in a good pair of skis... but WOW thanks to Alec I was able to find some great deals for skis and also could get a nicer fitting jacket this season. That fit into my budget. Thank you!

I felt like I made an online friend with Jonny 👏
5 /5
I was Googling what size snowboard to buy for my son, and continued on by opening Curated’s website. Jonny popped up in the chat to ask how he could help. He asked a lot questions beyond my sons’s weight and height to “curate” his top picks of equipment. How long he has been boarding, his ability level, his age, what type of boarder he is, and where on the mountains he spends his time. He addressed my concern that my son is still not finished growing and that I need equipment to grow with him. He selected a board that not only would allow my son to enhance his skills with the responsiveness of the board, but allow him 3-4 seasons on it as he grows. The questions and answers back and forth were numerous and sometimes even extremely funny from both of us! I know Jonny has a job to do and he’s selling me a product, but the interaction was enjoyable, fun and informative. If all the folks at Curated are as enjoyable to work with as Jonny, kudos to this company. Shipping time is extremely fast. I have the boots and bindings and the board is out for delivery as I write this. All equipment will arrive in under a weeks time. Thank you Jonny, and Happy snow Trails to you.

Mike was very helpful when trying to select a board and binding combo for me. A lot has changed in 26 years. With all the tech and terminology, my head was spinning. Mike explained every detail and took all my info to come up with a ultimate combo to match my ability and riding style. Awesome shopping experience. Thanks Mike.
