2025 Jones Mini Mind Expander Snowboard
The 2025 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 maneuverability of a directional snowboard, with the freestyle ability of a directional twin.
*Jones recommends you ride the Mind Expander 2-3cm shorter than your traditional directional freeride board.
Camber Profile
- Christenson Surf Rocker – Custom tip/tail rocker profile designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson for the Mind Expander, Mountain Surfer and Storm Chaser. The nose rocker starts just inside of the front inserts and the tail rocker starts just at the back inserts. When you weight the tail of the board, the nose ramps up out of the snow for insane float on the deepest days. These subtle rocker contours match a Christenson surfboard rocker profile.
Flex
- Directional Flex Pattern
- Flex Rating – 6/10 (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
- Directional – This board has a setback stance, directional shape, and directional flex pattern, so ride it forwards for optimum performance.
- 3D Contour Base 1.0 – Freeride focused 3D Contour Base featuring a 2mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 2mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at 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
Core
- FSC™ Classic Core – Full wood premium poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
- V-Core – Boards with V-Cores are slightly softer in the very center of the board for improved maneuverability and stiffer through the tip and tail for stability and pop.
Laminates
- Biax Fiberglass – A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
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.
Edges
- Traction Tech 1.0 – Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.
- 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
- 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 Bio Wax – Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
- 100% Solar Built
Binding Compatibility
- 2 x 4 Insert Pattern
