Description The Jones Youth Solution Splitboard is a sized-down splitboard for the smaller set with full-blown adult level features and quality. When the grom is ready for the transition into the backcountry, it's essential to get them geared up right, and trusting Jones to get it dailed is a no-brainer - they've been doing it longer than anyone. A host of subtle touches guarantee better grip while skinning, easier turn transitions in variable snow, and more powerful downhill performance when it's all together. A great solution for bigger kids and smaller adults. Features Rocker Type Directional Rocker – A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch. Flex Directional Flex Pattern Flex Rating – 5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) Forever Flex – All Jones boards are broken in using specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use to help stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for it's lifetime. Shape 3D Base Contour 1.0 – Subtle yet effective 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 2mm spoon bevel in the nose and 2mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just after the rocker point. Progressive Sidecut – At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition. Blunt Nose – "How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep is dictated by it's front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the 'snow plow' rounded tip and it's extra swing weight." - Jeremy Jones 12.5mm Taper – The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns. Core FSC™ Classic Core – Full wood premium poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability. Laminates Biax Fiberglass – A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride. Stainless Steel Reinforcement – Stainless steel plates are embedded into the nose and tail for improved board tip durability. Sidewalls Recycled ABS – ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Jones improves the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic. Base Sintered 8000 Base – New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene and carbon. Flip Flop Base – Flip-Flop bases improve board sustainability by reducing p-tex waste. 3D Contour Base 1.0 – Improves ease of turning and eliminates edge catch Edges Traction Tech 3.0 – Traction Tech 3.0 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip. Inner Edge Traction Tech – Inner edge Traction Tech improves splitboard edge grip on ascent. Three side cut "bumps" on each side of your binding keep you locked in on icy skin tracks no matter which way you are traversing. Oversized Recycled Edges – All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability. Topsheet Eco-Plastic Topsheet – Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet). Additional Features Karakoram Clips – Jones Splitboards feature Karakoram K-Clips plus tip and tail hooks. Adjustable tension K-clips increase torsional stiffness and offer a superior connection to simple interlocking clips. Bolt-Less Bridge – The Bolt-Less Bridge eliminates split clip attachment hardware from the base of the board by re-profiling the wood core at the clips. The wood core under the clips is thicker providing better torsional stiffness and a more powerful connection at the split clips. Bio Resin – All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy. 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. Wend Natural Wax – Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
