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.

People love Curated Experts
Luke was amazing
5 /5
This was my first ever time buying ski’s and look guided me through it like he was a city tour guide. You cannot get a better person than Luke on curated. I was able to text him like he was a friend and ask question about certain skis and he would answer always in a great response quickly.

Alex Was extremely patient.
5 /5
Alex was extremely patient with me, it took me a couple months, to finally decide which board to get. Even when I ghosted him for several weeks, which I do feel bad about, he was kind and patient and saw all the way through to the end with me. Will be purchasing more from curated in the future and I hope it’s through Alex.

Jared was extremely knowledgeable!
5 /5
I really like how Curated approaches their sales process. With so many option the nuances between boards and sizes can make deciding on a board difficult. I loved that I could talk to Jared and bounce ideas off a real person who had a deep knowledge base. I looked at a ton of reviews and talked with shops, but I gained the most insight into my decision by chatting with Jared. He wasn't pushy and genuinely seemed stoked!

Amazing experience with Simon!

Simon was incredibly knowledgable and patient, helping me find the perfect skis and bindings that fit my needs and budget. He went above and beyond to make sure I got the best deal, which allowed me to get my new dream "true blue" skis that I can always turn to for most days on the mountain. I can't wait to hit the slopes with confidence, knowing I have reliable gear thanks to Simon's expert guidance. Highly recommend working with him!

I had a great experience with Nate helping me find a new snowboard! I’ve been looking to elevate my rides and he gave me so much information but in such an organized fashion that I did not feel overwhelmed. He knows what he’s talking about and had first hand experience on the slopes ! I’m super satisfied with Nate’s help! I ended up buying a new board same day. So stoked for the new season.

Bobby made an overwhelming search, for the right gear for my son, a breeze. I don't know much about snowboarding, so having Bobby's informative guidance helped me determine what would be best for my kiddo! I'm excited to watch him unwrap this gift, and start the season off right! Thank you Bobby!

Tristan was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. He's got me looking good and feeling good next time i'm on the slopes.
5 /5
I kind of had an idea about what i was looking for, but Tristan helped me really get dialed in with the perfect gear. He helped me with sizing the board because i was torn between getting a wide board or not. He did a great job at explaining what he liked about certain products, so it was very helpful when picking out my stuff. The prices that i have seen for some of this gear on this website is incredible. Tristan really knows his stuff and i couldn't recommend him more.
