The 2026 Jones Mini Mind Expander takes everything you love about the full adult sized Mind Expander and shrinks it for your young grom to experience the surfy goodness for themselves. Designed to take all the aggression and seriousness out of freeriding, the Mini Mind Expander blends surfy shaped boards with performance snow technology to blend the worlds of freestyle, freeride and surf style snowboarding. Jones have created the Christenson Surf Rocker profile, giving you a flat base under foot and rocker in the tip and tail for a surfy feel under any condition. The unique shape of the Mini Mind Expander isn't just for looks, with the blunted full size tail offering the nimble manoeuvrability of a directional snowboard, with the freestyle ability of a directional twin. Jones recommend you ride the Mind Expander 4-8cm shorter than your traditional directional freeride board. Board Type: All Mountain Flex: 6/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff) Medium flex boards offer good stability at speed and are easy to turn and manoeuvre. Profile: Christenson Surf Rocker Taking cues from surfboard shapes, the Christenson Surf Camber profile places rocker in the nose just inside the front inserts and in the tail just at the back inserts while being flat, keeping the nose up with minimal effort while feeling surfy underfoot. Shape: Directional This board has a setback stance, directional shape, and directional flex pattern, so ride it forwards for optimum performance. 3D Base Contour 1.0 Freeride focused 3D Contour Base featuring 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0 to 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point. Progressive Sidecut This board features a progressive sidecut consisting of two blended radii to accomodate the three stages of a turn. This provides easy turn initiation white offering greater control throughout the turn and maximum power when exiting. Core: Classic Core Full wood premium poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability. Biax Fibreglass A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fibreglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride. 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). Base: Sintered 8000 This new super durable base material is made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene and carbon, making it easily repairable, highly wax absorbent, and super fast. Extra Features: Bio Resin - All Jones boards are built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Bio Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Bio Resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy. Traction Tech - Traction Tech features three bumps per edge (front binding, board centre, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip. Recycled ABS - ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Jones improve the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic. The rounded sidewall finish improves board durability by protecting the topsheet from chipping. Wend Bio Wax - Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with Wend Bio Wax. Oversized Recycled Edges - Exactly what it sounds like, enhanced sustainability and added durability. Factory Tuned - All Jones snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail, so you can go riding straight away. Forever Flex - Jones boards now are finished slightly overbuilt and are broken in using specialised machinery that mimics riding use. This flexes the fibers and epoxy and allows them to settle into their final state, similar to riding the boards for 20 days. This provides a much more accurate flex rating. 100% Solar Built
