Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Split
The Hovercraft Split is a nimble and explosive all-terrain splitboard built with our most advanced 3D shape tech and groundbreaking recycled materials. The Hovercraft’s new shape features the floaty nose, compact tail, directional rocker profile and long sidecut that made the original shape so versatile, but its been supercharged with 12mm of spoon bevel in the nose for lightning fast turn initiation, and a speed boosting 3D hull in the tail. For enhanced grip on icy skintracks or descents it has Inner/Outer Traction Tech 2.0 edges, and for supreme torsional board connection, it’s built with the Boltless Bridge, plus Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 and Tip-Lock Tip Clips. The new Hovercraft Split is also made with recycled materials from old snowboards making it our most responsibly produced splitboard. Now a unisex model with sizes to fit every size rider, the Hovercraft Split is ready to win the hearts of backcountry rippers once again.

Reclaimed Core: Featuring specially positioned embedded stringers made from reclaimed snowboards.
3D Contour Base 3.0: Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 12mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 12mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.
Speed boosting 3D hull in the tail
Progressive Sidecut: At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
Oversized Recycled Edges: All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
Bolt-Less Bridge: Eliminates split clip attachment hardware from the base of the board by re-profiling the wood core at the clips. The wood core under the clips is thicker providing better torsional stiffness and a more powerful connection at the split clips.
Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 with Tip-Lock: Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 are lighter weight, clamp tighter and have a smaller footprint than the original Ultra Clip. They are also adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
Bio Resin: All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy.
Wend Natural Wax: Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
