JONES MENS HOWLER SPLITBOARD BLACK 2027

Unleash the Howler and turn technical terrain into your freestyle playground. Designed by Victor de Le Rue and Elena Hight, the Howler’s high-octane fusion of freeride and freestyle performance has become a definitive board for a global collective of riders who refuse to be boxed into categories. Charge backcountry spines, stomp huge airs with authority and rail powerful turns wherever you point the Howler.

Details

• Shape: Directional - A directional outline with a longer nose, shorter tail and setback stance to optimize float, maneuverability and edge power. Designed for riders who prioritize performance on groomers and in the backcountry over park riding.
• Shape Details: Tail Kicks - Tail Kicks inspired by cruiser skateboards, with a short, abrupt transition designed to maximize the benefits of the camber right up to the contact points. An extended flat zone creates a large platform to pop from and support backseat landings.
• Profile: High Power Camber - Full tip-to-tail camber delivering explosive pop and locked-in edge control. An 8mm rise and extended flat zone under the rear inserts amplify power and precision in the tail to drive out of turns and stomp heavy landings on steep terrain.
• Flex: 8 / 10 — Mid-stiff and lively. Responsive enough for technical backcountry freeride and freestyle, with enough torsional precision to handle variable conditions.
• Traction Tech: Medium Traction Tech - Medium Traction Tech features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip and control.
• Taper: Low Tapered - A subtle taper that aids directional performance but keeps the ride feeling balanced and dynamic on piste and resort terrain. Popular with riders who like to carve the resort or push freestyle in the backcountry, without giving up versatility on the powder days. Any shape with a taper of less than 10mm between the nose and tail.
• Power Core: Advanced triple-density full wood core made from responsibly harvested Bamboo, Paulownia and Poplar. Centered Bamboo stringers enhance durability, pop and torsional stiffness, while the Paulownia keeps the core light and damp.
• Koroyd: Developed from aerospace technology, award-winning Koroyd synthetic core material is the lightest core dampening material we’ve ever tested. It absorbs vibrations and reduces tip swing weight, enabling quicker, smoother turns.
• Stringer: ampliTex™ Carbon / Flax Stringers: Hybrid performance stringers made from carbon and naturally sourced flax fiber, developed with Swiss engineering firm Bcomp®.
• Figerglass: Triax Fiberglass - Triaxial fiberglass laminate made with a triple-layer, multi-axis construction that delivers a precise and powerful board feel with a mid-stiff torsional flex for supreme response in variable snow conditions.
• Base: Sintered 8000 Base - Ultra-fast premium sintered base, highly wax absorbent and easy to repair. Optimized for performance across all snow conditions.
• Wend Natural Wax: All Jones snowboards come factory waxed with WEND natural wax so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop.
• Sidewalls: Recycled ABS - 100% recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish to reduce chipping. Standard on all Jones boards.
• Topsheet: Premium Topsheet - Durable and scratch resistant premium topsheet engineered to endure rigorous daily use in extreme conditions.
• Shape Tech: Medium 3D Contour Base (nose) - 4 mm spoon bevel from the nose contact point, tapering progressively to the tip. Reduces friction and improves float in deep snow, inspired by surfboard hull geometry.
