The Jones Hovercraft 2 Splitboard 2027
Next-Gen Backcountry Surf | Modernized Powder Precision and Tree Line Agility
Check out the new Jones Hovercraft 2 Splitboard 2027, the fully modernized evolution of Jones’ legendary surf-inspired backcountry shape. Engineered to deliver effortless floatation in bottomless powder while upgrading high-speed stability and skin-track efficiency, this updated classic is built for riders who treat the entire mountain like an endless wave.
Milo Take
The Milo crew has ridden every generation of the Hovercraft, and the Hovercraft 2 takes everything we loved about the original and dials it up a notch. By refining the 3D Contour Base and updating the tail silhouette, Jones made this board even more agile in tight tree runs without sacrificing its famous trench-carving stability. The Directional Rocker profile gives you maximum buoyancy in deep snow, while the camber underfoot and Traction Tech edge bumps lock in securely on firm skin tracks and icy traverses. On the descent, the shortened 3D hull lets you slash wind lips, butter powder pillows, and initiate turns with practically zero effort. If you want a dedicated backcountry powder board that still holds its ground when conditions get firm and technical, the Hovercraft 2 is a total home run.
