It's not lighter than air but pretty close. The Jones Ultralight Hovercraft 2.0 Splitboard pushes the boundaries of what's possible with lightweight backcountry boards. Redesigned with 3D Shape Tech, a floaty nose, long sidecut, and directional rocker profile, this thing rips on the uphill and the down. Fusion Carbon and Koroyd make up the bomber lightweight chassis, absorbing chatter and keeping you on track in tight spaces. Let loose in steep coulouirs and seek out fresh pow, the Jones Ultralight Hovercraft 2.0 Splitboard is made for big days and deep slays.
Directional Rocker – A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
Flex Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Forever Flex – All Jones boards are broken in using specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use to help stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for it's lifetime.
Directional Flex Pattern
Blunt Nose – "How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep is dictated by it's front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the 'snow plow' rounded tip and it's extra swing weight." - Jeremy Jones
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.
Directional Shape
Koroyd® Core – Award-winning synthetic core material developed for the aerospace industry. Koroyd absorbs vibrations and adds response at a fraction of the weight of wood which enhances board control and riding confidence.
Fusion Core – The Fusion Core is Jones' lightest wood core yet. Core is made from mostly paulownia with specifically positioned pockets of poplar for improved durability and response.
Fiberglass Reinforcement – Fiberglass layer improve pop in nose and tail plus increases the longevity of the flex profile. This lightweight layer helps the board perform the same on day 100 as it did on day one - precise and playful.
Ultra Construction – Ultra Construction is the redefinition of what it takes to build a snowboard. Jones tested every inch of the board to precisely position materials exactly where they are needed while eliminating all excess materials. Combining these innovative construction techniques with superlight wood cores and carbon fiber deliver revolutionary results. Jones Ultra boards are the lightest, yet most durable snowboards on earth.
Recycled Rounded ABS – ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Jones improves the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
Ultra Base – Jones exclusive base material that sets new performance standards. Lab results and snow testing show 25% better wax absorption, better glide in warm/wet snow and better durability for grinding. They've also doubled the amount of wax and mixed multiple wax types for a faster factory wax in a wider range of conditions.
Inner Thin Recycled Edges – Advancements in ski edge durability allow Jones to use thinner edges to save weight.
Ultralight ECO-Topsheet – Super damp, durable and lightweight topsheet material made from organic plant material.
Karakoram Ultra Clips 3C with Tips Lock – Karakoram Ultra Clips 3C feature a three point tension system. Ultralight and exclusive to Jones, these clips redefine split clip technology. They are also adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
Wend Natural Wax – Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
Bio Resin – All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy.
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.

The Jones Nomad Pro Quick Tension Tail Clip Splitboard Skins are ideal for riders on the up and up. Up and up the skin track, that is. They come with a Glide Tech coating to keep things speedy season after season, and an Ever Dry coating that helps eliminate the dreaded skin glop.

PFC-Free Material
Quick Tension Tail Clip – The Quick Tension Tail Clip is a lightweight tail clip system designed to fit all 2016 and newer Jones splitboards (except Youth). Jones splitboards have a notch cut into the tail of both skis that allows the Quick Tension Tail Clip to simply slide into the notch and secure the skin. The Quick Tension Clip features a durable rubber tail strap and compact metal clip.
Universal Tip Clip
Glide Tech – Glide Tech coating reduces friction on each skin fiber so neither super-cold fresh snow or wet, hot snow will stick to the skin and rob energy-saving glide.
Ever Dry – Jones skins are treated with Ever Dry anti-glopping treatment. The coating keeps the skins from absorbing moisture and prevents snow/ice build-up under the skin.
Grip Tech – Grip Tech skins are made with a special material that works well under dynamic tension and has a high resistance to twisting and abrasion.
Rubber Safer Skins – Jones Nomad Pro skins are laminated with a rubber backing that prevents skins from getting water logged. Drier skins are safer as they are less likely to lose adhesion to your skis in critical situations.
Includes – One pair of skins with Quick Tension tail clips attached, two backing sheets, skin bag, and cheat sheet.
