Jones Men's Storm Chaser Splitboard 2024

The Storm Chaser Split unlocks access to those remote frozen swells and packs insane float into a short, but still high volume splitboard. The ultra-wide waist width maximizes the float of the shortened running length and the Surf Rocker profile pops the nose out of the snow when you step on the gas. The Storm Chaser’s short sidecut will have you ripping tight tree runs like a GS course on even the deepest days. The unique shape is matched with Inner/Outer Traction Tech 1.0 edges for enhanced grip on icy skintracks or firm descents and the Boltless Bridge plus Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 and Tip-Lock Tip Clips for unmatched torsional board connection in ride mode. For a lively board feel, the Storm Chaser Split features a Control Split Core, and an ultra fast and durable Sintered 8000 base.

Features:

• Control Split Core: Dual-density full premium wood core designed specifically for splitboards 2:1 paulownia to poplar stringer ratio keeps core light yet ultra damp.
• Biax Fiberglass: A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
• Sintered 8000 base: Super durable base material made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easy to repair, easy to wax and super fast.
• Eco-Plastic Topsheet: Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This ecomaterial is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).
• Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 with Tip-Lock:  Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 are lighter weight, clamp tighter and have a smaller footprint than the original Ultra Clip. They are also adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
• Oversized recycled edges: Oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and
  improved production sustainability.
• Recycled Rounded ABS Sidewalls: Rounded sidewall finish that improves board durability by protecting topsheet from chipping.
• Wend Natural Wax: Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop
  and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
• 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 manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for it’s lifetime. Our boards now finish the first stages of production slightly overbuilt and then we “break them in” using specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use. By flexing the fresh board fibers and epoxy at the factory the materials settle in to their final arrangement within the board layup much the same as if you rode the board for 20 days. This process helps us narrow our production tolerances so the board you buy has a more accurate specified flex and rocker profile that will change less as you ride it more.

Profile: Christenson Surf Rocker

Custom tip/tail rocker profile designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson
for the Mountain Surfer and Storm Chaser. The nose rocker starts just
inside of the front inserts and the tail rocker starts just at the back inserts.
When you weight the tail of the board the nose ramps up out of the snow
for insane float on the deepest days. These subtle rocker contours match
a Christenson surfboard rocker profile.

Shape: Directional Tapered

Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment. The tail sinks in pow for better float and quicker turns.

A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.

Flex: 7 (Scale 1 - 10)

Power. Precision. Control.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
