Long-term gear review | Jones Hovercraft
11/23/2016 • Anselm KöhlerIf you translate the word "hovercraft" with a translation program, the suggested translations are hovercraft, aeroglider, ground effect aircraft and the like. In any case, a term that has to do with buoyancy and hovering just before flying. The Jones Hovercraft lives up to the promise of its name: it can't be brought down by any powder in the world. -
Split/Snowboard
Short test | Jones Hovercraft Splitboard
02/08/2016 • Anselm Köhler
The Hovercraft from Jones Snowboards is the second snowboard that Jeremy Jones has brought out under his own snowboard brand. The characteristic blunt nose can be found here, as well as the current trend towards slightly wider and shorter powder boards. The Jones was a trendsetter: similar shapes were taken up by many snowboard companies this season. The much-traveled hovercraft, which in addition to its proven powder characteristics should also be rideable in poorer conditions, has also been available as a splitboard for 2 seasons. Reason enough to take a closer look at it here. The board is available in sizes 152, 156 and 160 cm and combines a wide, long shovel with rocker at the front and a fairly short, stiff tail with a mini swallowtail at the back to create a more universal fish shape.
