2027 Jones Storm Chaser Snowboard

The 2027 Jones Storm Chaser is a dedicated powder board built around a surf-style approach to snowboarding. It’s compact, heavily tapered and designed to stay on top of deep snow with minimal effort, letting you focus on drawing lines, slashing banks and linking turns rather than managing speed or fighting for float. This is the kind of board that feels at home in Japow conditions, weaving through trees, hitting pillows and turning every soft feature into something you can push against and release off.

On snow, the Storm Chaser feels loose, quick and highly manoeuvrable for a powder shape. The Directional CamRock profile gives you enough stability underfoot to stay in control, while the rockered nose and High 3D Contour Base do the heavy lifting for float, lifting the board up and keeping it planing even in deeper conditions. The swallowtail and taper work together to sink the tail and keep turns smooth and surfy, while the shorter, more compact outline and moderate flex make it easy to redirect and slash without needing a lot of effort. The Low Traction Tech keeps it from feeling grabby but holds on hardpack, and the overall construction keeps the ride smooth and responsive without taking away from that loose, surf-driven feel.

Key Features

Terrain – Powder
A surf-inspired powder board built for riders who want effortless float and the ability to slash, carve and surf deep snow.

Shape – Tapered Directional
A heavily tapered directional outline with a swallowtail keeps the nose planing easily in powder while the tail sinks naturally for smooth turn release.

Profile – Hyrbid Positive
Camber underfoot provides power and edge hold while rocker in the nose improves float and manoeuvrability in deep snow.

Flex – 6/10
A medium flex that balances stability and response while remaining playful enough for slashing and quick directional changes.

Tech Features

• High 3D Contour Base – Significant base shaping in the nose and tail helps the board plane quickly in powder and reduces drag during turns.
• Low Traction Tech – Subtle edge contact points improve grip on firm snow without making the board feel hooky when riding softer conditions.
• Master Core – A lightweight wood core made from Paulownia and Poplar that balances strength, durability and responsive flex.
• Biax Fiberglass – Fiberglass layered in two directions provides a smooth and forgiving flex pattern with predictable response.
• Bcomp Carbon Flax Stringer – Natural fibre reinforcement that adds snap and response while also helping dampen vibration.
• Sintered 8000 Base – A durable sintered base that absorbs wax well and maintains fast glide across a wide range of snow conditions.
• Premium Topsheet – A durable topsheet construction designed to resist chipping and improve board longevity.
• Standard 12-Pack Inserts – A traditional insert layout allowing riders to fine tune stance width and positioning.
• Forever Flex – The board is pre-broken in during production to ensure the flex pattern remains consistent over time.
• Factory Tuned – Tip and tail edges are slightly detuned at the factory for predictable handling straight out of the wrapper.
• WEND Natural Wax – Factory waxed with WEND natural wax for immediate glide and lower environmental impact.
• Bio Resin – Plant-based epoxy used in construction to reduce reliance on petroleum-based resins.
• Recycled ABS Sidewalls – Sidewalls made using recycled ABS improve durability while reducing manufacturing waste.
