DESCRIPTION
Detailed description - Jones Discovery snowboard
- The Discovery solid is our freeride board for youth and small adults who want to confidently explore new terrain. Unlike most twin-tipped youth boards, the Discovery features a proven directional shape that delivers legit freeride performance for smaller riders. New for this season - the Discovery features a Spoon 1.0 Nose and Tail. The edges of the Spoon nose are beveled up for improved turn fluidity and the tail edges are beveled up for less catch. Tech features on the Discovery like Progressive Sidecut allow for easy turn initiation while the Blunt Nose and Directional Rocker profile keep any size rider cruising through the inevitable end-of-the-day chop.
- Classic Core - Full wood premium slovenian poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
- Biax Fiberglass - A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
- Base - Sintered 7000
- Durable natural base material with added carbon for speed and good wax absorbency.
- Wend Natural Wax - Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
- Topsheet - Film topsheets provide the stiffness and impact resistance of a normal topsheet while significantly reducing weight by decreasing the thickness of the topsheet material.
- Sidewall - wrap tip construction - full wood core to the tip and ABS sidewall completely wraps around tip for added response and durability.
- Mellow Magne-traction - Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Magne-Traction improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.
- “Magne-Traction 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. Magne-Traction is crucial to ofset 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 side cut 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.
- Recycled ABS - ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
- Recycled Rubber - Rubber edge dampening material is made with 100% recycled material.
- 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.

Profile
- Camrock - a unique rocker/camber pattern defined by evenly balanced tip and tail rocker and camber between the bindings. Camrock improves freestyle finesse by keeping your tips playful while maintaining the power and pop of camber underfoot.
- Spoon 1.0 - Subtle yet effective 3D-base contours 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.
- 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
