Description
2025 Jones Youth Flagship Snowboard
The Youth Flagship is a high performance freeride board for youth and small adults who want to confidently explore advanced terrain. Unlike most twin-tipped youth boards, the Youth Flagship features a proven directional shape that offers legit freeride performance on steeps and off piste. The Youth Flagship has a directional rocker profile that excels in variable resort conditions and a tapered directional shape that sinks the tail in pow for better float and glide. The Youth Flagship also features a 3D Contour Base 1.0 that helps eliminate edge catch and improve turn fluidity and Traction Tech 3.0 edges for added grip on icy runs. For speed and durability, the Youth Solution is built with a blazing fast Sintered 8000 base.
Camber Profile
- 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 – 5/10 (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
- 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
- 8.5mm 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.
- 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.
-
Flip Flop Base – Flip-Flop bases improve board sustainability by reducing p-tex waste.
- *Base colors are random.
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.
- 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.
Binding Compatibility
- 2 x 4 Insert Pattern
