2027 Jones Howler Snowboard
The 2027 Jones Howler is a powerful freeride board developed with Victor De Le Rue for riders who want freestyle capability without giving up the stability and control needed for serious big-mountain terrain. Its High Power Camber profile runs full camber from tip to tail, rising toward the tail and extending to the back binding for explosive pop, strong edge hold, and extra stomping power on landings. The directional shape combines a wide shovel nose, Medium Taper, and 3D Flip Tips for float and maneuverability in soft and variable snow, while the stiff 4/5 flex, Power Core, Triax Fiberglass, and BComp Carbon Flax Stringers provide the response and stability to charge technical lines at speed. Built to blend freeride power with a freestyle-influenced approach, the Howler is at home on everything from deep powder and steep lines to natural hits and big landings.
Who is this board best for?
Advanced to expert riders looking for a powerful freeride board with the pop and freestyle capability to hit natural features, drops, and big landings in technical all-mountain terrain.
What is new for 2027?
The Howler gets an updated Premium Topsheet and a new 164cm size for 2027.

Camber Profile
- High Power Camber: Tip-to-tail full camber with a high camber profile along the effective edge for maximum pop, response, and edge hold. The camber rises toward the tail and extends to the back binding for increased power when loading the tail and stomping landings.

Flex
- 4/5 (Stiff): A stiff, lively flex provides the stability, power, and precision needed for aggressive freeriding, high speeds, and technical terrain.
- Forever Flex: Manufacturing process designed to stabilize the board's flex and camber profile throughout its lifetime.
Shape
- Tapered Directional: Freeride-focused directional shape with a longer, wider nose, shorter tail, and setback stance for stability, control, and float in soft snow.
- Medium Taper: A narrower tail helps the nose rise naturally in powder and gives the board a smoother, more surfy feel in soft snow.
- 3D Flip Tips: Three-dimensional shaping at the tips enhances float and grip while helping reduce tip catch in rough and variable terrain.
- Progressive Sidecut: Gradually increases the sidecut radius toward the contact points for smoother turn initiation and exit.
- Blunt Nose: Provides the float benefits of a longer nose while reducing excess material and swing weight at the tip.

Core
- Power Core: Triple-density wood core featuring hardwood Bamboo stringers for added pop and durability with Paulownia for reduced weight.
- Koroyd® Core: Lightweight engineered core material that absorbs vibration and adds response while reducing weight for increased control and confidence.
- 100% Responsibly Sourced Woodcore: Made entirely with wood sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Laminates
- Triax Fiberglass: Multi-axis stitched fiberglass provides a precise and responsive ride across varied terrain and snow conditions.
- BComp Carbon Flax Stringers: Carbon adds pop and power while flax helps absorb chatter for a responsive yet damp ride.
- Durabond Bio-Epoxy: Bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon and engineered for high-performance bonding and durability.
Base
- Sintered 8000 Base: Premium sintered base material designed for excellent speed, wax absorption, durability, and repairability.
- WEND Natural Wax: Factory waxed with natural WEND wax and ready to ride out of the shop.
Additional Features
- Medium Traction Tech: Multiple contact points along the running length increase edge grip and control on firm and technical snow.
- Premium Topsheet: Durable, scratch-resistant topsheet engineered to withstand demanding daily use and extreme conditions.
- Recycled ABS Sidewalls: Durable sidewalls constructed from recycled ABS plastic.
- Recycled Edges: Durable recycled steel edges built for long-lasting performance.
- Factory Tuned: Factory de-tuned at the tip and tail and ready to ride.
- Built with 100% Solar Power: Manufactured using 100% solar power.
Binding Compatibility
- 2x4 Inserts: Compatible with standard snowboard bindings using the 2x4 mounting pattern.
