Jones Aviator 2.0

Not really. With a 4/5 flex rating and a full camber profile, this board is designed for intermediate to advanced riders who want precision and power. It demands active input and can be unforgiving if you are still learning the basics of edge control.

The full camber profile provides consistent edge contact from tip to tail, which gives you significantly more stability and grip on icy or hard-packed snow. While it requires more attention to avoid catching an edge, it offers much more pop and responsiveness when carving or hitting jumps.

It is a versatile directional twin, so it handles park riding quite well. The mid-stiff flex provides the stability you need for larger jumps and pipe riding, though it might feel slightly less playful on rails compared to a dedicated soft-flex park board.

Koroyd is integrated into the core to dampen vibrations and reduce swing weight without sacrificing strength. It essentially helps smooth out the ride on choppy terrain, making the board feel more stable at high speeds.

While the 20mm setback is designed to help with float in powder and directional stability, the board is still a directional twin. It is perfectly capable of riding switch, though you may notice a slight difference in feel compared to a true twin board.

The Sintered 8000 base is high-density and porous, meaning it holds wax exceptionally well. To maintain its high-speed performance and durability, you should wax it regularly, especially if you are riding in dry or abrasive snow conditions.
