The Jones Ultralight Hovercraft Splitboard 2027

Featherweight Powder Performance | Surf Inspired Backcountry Speed Machine

Check out the new Jones Ultralight Hovercraft Splitboard 2027, an iconic backcountry shape redesigned with Jones’ most advanced featherweight materials. Engineered for big mountain powder missions and long backcountry ascents, this surf inspired splitboard combines unmatched floatation with razor sharp edge control to help you earn your turns with less effort and maximum speed.

Milo Take

The Milo crew considers the Hovercraft an absolute legend in the splitboarding world, and this Ultralight edition takes it to a whole new level. By wrapping the classic short, wide powder outline in a Fusion Carbon layup, Jones shaved off crucial weight without sacrificing the stiff, power packed flex that this board is known for. The Directional Rocker profile and wide nose lift through deep snow effortlessly, while the compact tail lets you slash tight tree lines with zero drag. On the way up, the reduced swing weight makes setting steep kick turns feel practically effortless. If you are a splitboarder looking to rack up serious vertical without giving up high speed stability on the way down, this board is the top tier choice.

Shred Metrics

• Directional Rocker Profile: Camber underfoot for rock solid edge hold on skin tracks and hardpack, paired with an aggressively rockered nose for effortless floatation in deep powder.

• 3D Contour Base 3.0: Features 7.0 mm of spoon bevel in the nose to eliminate edge catch and deliver ultra smooth, surfy turn initiation in fresh snow.

• Compact Surf Silhouette: Designed to be ridden shorter than your standard splitboard, providing massive surface area for float while keeping the overall board weight down.
