Frontier has a directional freeride shape, which is the perfect solution for everyday fun for every snowboard fun. The freeride nose of the board will take you through the deepest powder, and the freestyle tail will convince you to ride in the park and any other condition that may happen to you in the mountains. Directional shape, directional rocker profile and edges Traction Tech 2.0 ensure a firm stability when carving in technical terrain and on frozen snow. The innovative shape of the nose and tail known as the 3D Contour Base, minimizes the edge-catching effect, which will definitely protect your butt from bruises and pain. while also facilitating tight, quick turns.

Technical information

• 3D Contour Base - Subtle yet effective 3D Contour Base featuring an even balance of 2mm spoon bevel in the nose and 2mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just after the rocker point.
• Traction Tech 2,0 - Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board. Traction Tech is a critical feature for rockered boards. Rocker improves glide in mixed conditions, but the decreased edge contact makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Traction Tech is crucial to offset the edge drift of rocker. - 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.
• 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
• Directional flex pattern - Off set tip-to-tail flex pattern that is designed for directional freeride boards. The nose, center of board and tail are slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink the tail and improve stability at speed.
• V- core - Jones exclusive wood core profiling that offers a stable and playful board feel. The wood core is softer between the feet for easy turn initiation and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability riding through uneven terrain and landing airs.
• Sintered 8000 - New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easily repairable, highly wax absorbent and wicked fast.
• Wended natural wax - Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
• Flip flop base - Producing two or more base color options minimizes p-tex waste. Order may be filled with either color. Color does not vary by size.
• B;ax fiberglass - A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
• Bio Resin - Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.
• Oversized recycled edges - All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
• RecycledABS sidewalls - ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
• 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.
• Forever flex - Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.
• Eco-plastic topsheet - Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).
• Classic core - Full wood premium poplar core than offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
