Description


From the manufacturer

 

The creative freerider's favorite. Ideal for full-throttle freeriding and backcountry freestyle.

Unleash the Women’s Howler and turn technical terrain into your freestyle playground. Designed by Elena Hight and Victor de Le Rue, 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 Women’s Howler.

 

Key Benefits

 

  • Mid-stiff flex for dynamic and precise board feel
  • Directional shape for resort and backcountry performance
  • High Power Camber profile for explosive pop and power in the tail

 

Shape & Profile

 

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.


Profile





  High Power Camber
Full tip-to-tail camber with our most pronounced bend and an extended flat zone under the rear inserts. This amplifies power in the tail, delivering explosive pop and locked-in edge control to drive out of turns and stomp landings on steep terrain.


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.

 

 

3D Contour Base

 

 

 

Surf-inspired shaping for next-level performance.
Inspired by the rounded bottom contours of surfboards, 3D Contour Bases are designed to make every run smoother and every turn more effortless by reducing the drag of the board tips. 3D Contour Bases enhance glide and improve float, helping you ride faster and with better flow. Learn more

 

Medium 3D Contour Base
3D Contour Base tuned for all-terrain featuring 4mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0-4mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just before the contact points.

 

How it Works

Riding Flat
When riding flat, the spoon bevel on the edges is not engaged, but it does help smoothly deflect snow away from the nose of the board.



Turn initiation
As you begin to make a turn, the spoon bevel helps you smoothly roll the board on to your edge with less friction and edge drag.

 


Mid turn
In the middle of a turn, camber and Traction Tech keep you locked on to your edge in the center of the board while the spoon bevel reduces the "plow effect" of your nose and tail edges.

Others









  Factory Tuned
All Jones snowboards come factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop.

Forever Flex
Forever Flex stabilizes a snowboard’s flex and rocker profile for its lifetime. Boards are overbuilt, then ‘broken in’ using a process that mimics 20 days of riding and makes the flex more consistent from day one.


Core










  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.


Fibers





  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.


Stringers




  ampliTex Carbon / Flax Stringers
Hybrid performance stringers made from carbon and naturally sourced flax fiber, developed with Swiss engineering firm Bcomp®.


Topsheet




  Premium Eco Topsheet
Durable and scratch resistant bio-plastic topsheet made from castor beans that’s engineered to provide exceptional abrasion and impact resistance while minimizing environmental impact.


Base








  Sintered 8000 Base
Premium sintered base material that’s ultra fast, highly wax absorbent, easy to repair and proven to be one of the most durable and long lasting base materials in the industry.

Wend Natural Wax
All Jones snowboards come factory waxed with WEND natural wax so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop.


Resin





  Bio Resin
A bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon that reduces CO₂ emissions by 33% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxy. Sourced from plant-based industrial by-products, its unmatched bonding properties deliver industry leading durability and performance.


Edges








  Recycled ABS
Recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish that are engineered to enhance durability by reducing topsheet chipping and impact damage.

Recycled Edges
Bombproof steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting durability.
