The Curated Take
By the Expert Community
4.7/5
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 same edge hold or carving performance as narrower, more traditional boards specifically designed for groomers.
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
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 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.

I wanted to talk about how happy I am with my experience here at Curated and with my expert Bernard. Bernard was very helpful and knowledgeable about the equipment I was looking for, and provided different ideas on how I can make my skiing experience even more enjoyable! Bernard really is an amazing Ski Expert and I will definitely buy new gear from him from now on! Thanks Bernard!

Having some experience snowboarding but never owning my own equipment, I had lots of questions and needed a lot of help. I’m so glad I found curated and Josh! He was able to educate me and guide me through the process…and made sure I got a super deal. He always responded promptly and was patient with my never ending questions. All the gear is perfect, we can’t wait to hit the mountain!

I was skeptical about buying ski gear online, but with Michael's expertise and input it worked out great. No only is Michael super knowledgeable, but he really took the time to understand our requirements and match us with the right gear. Never any pressure, always patient, helpful, and super responsive. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Frankie is A1, top notch and his ratings and reviews speaks for itself. I went to 3 different ski shops in my area and I was sized wrong, told certain brands were high quality when they weren’t, would have been paying to much and just put on a bad path overall. I’m glad I stumbled upon Curated. I threw so many questions at Frankie and he welcomed and answered them all. I needed a new board, boots and bindings and I got a great deal. Got a 2024 Libtech Coldbrew with Now IPO Bindings and 32 boots for less than my local ski shops offered for Never Summer, K2, etc., packages. I can’t wait to get on the mountain! Thanks again Frankie!

I was very nervous about buying my first pair of skis as they can be quite expensive and you want to get them right, however, as soon as I found curated and was paired with Hayden all the nervousness turned into pure excitement. Hayden took the time to explain, answer questions, and pick the perfect curation for me. It made choosing skis a fun process rather than a stressful one. I highly recommend Hayden and I can't wait to hit the slopes with my new skis!

I’ve been looking for some pretty specific skis and Michael was able to help me! As a female sometimes I don’t feel like I’m taken seriously when I’m at a ski shop (I’ve tried many) and mike made it so easy! He answered my questions, was able to price match Evo, and was so approachable! Honestly thankful for people like him in the ski industry. Thank you!!

Had no idea about this website. Stumbled on just by looking for my ski gear. Im new to the sport and didn’t now exactly what I needed. I told Hayden my skill level and what I wanted and he delivered with everything I wanted plus more. Excellent experience and incredibly easy. Felt like I had somebody just as invested as I was and that was awesome. Thank you Hayden great work!

Extremely helpful, knowledgeable about snowboarding in the west coast. Understands types of terrains and the type of board suited for the type of riding I like.
I came in with an idea of what I’m looking for. 3 yrs exp snowboarding and only used 2 boards: box knife and Burton. He asked critical questions, looked for multiple offers, videos for me to learn about the products, offered pricing matching and provided details on the process.
I’m recommending this website and Eric to my snowboarding friend group and other people looking to start riding!
