LEGEND: Hovercraft 2.0 - Evolution of a legend | Jones Snowboards
HOVERCRAFT: a legendary legacy | A time tested board design proven by first descents, podiums, summits and smiles.
No board in the Jones line can touch the remarkable resumé of the Hovercraft. After 14 seasons in production there's nothing this time tested board design hasn't done. From first descents by Jeremy Jones to Baker Banked Slalom wins by Harry Kearney and countless claims of "Best Day Ever!" in between, the Hovercraft's stunning performance and versatility have been proven in every shred scenario. The thousands of passionate Hovercraft riders around the world also attest to this performance legacy. The nimble acceleration and powerful turning abilities of this compact board design are truly legendary.
SIZING DETAILS | Choose your ideal board size range using your body weight and boot size.
To decide between two sizes, choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance, choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
