One of our favourite boards here at WL HQ,, and our editor-in-chief’s weapon of choice whilst off seeking powder, the Jones Hovercraft always shines when presented with deep snow falling in the woods, but can also handle itself nicely down chutes and faces too.

There’s a splitboard version too now that takes advantage of the shorter running length to make it lighter on the up, and beveled-up edges at the back reduces the tail catching in heavy snow and throwing you off your game.

There’s mellow magnetraction that helps the Hovercraft hold its edge on hardpack, a feature that also makes its way into the middle edge of the splitboard for more control on the ascent. The graphics are as simple as ever, using no ink and instead burning the minimalist info directly onto the wooden topsheet.
