Jones Howler 2026

No, this board is designed for advanced intermediate to expert riders. With an 8 out of 10 flex rating, it demands precise technique and aggressive input, which can be unforgiving for those still learning the basics.

The tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, which naturally helps the board float in deep snow and initiate turns more easily. It makes the board feel more maneuverable in soft snow while maintaining stability when you're carving on groomers.

The Howler is a true all-mountain performer. Its camber profile and dampening tech make it excellent for steep, technical freeriding, but it remains agile enough to handle park laps and high-speed groomers.

Yes, the 3D Contour Base 3.0 bevels the edges at the nose and tail, which helps smooth out turn initiation and reduces the chance of catching an edge. It creates a more fluid, catch-free feel when you're transitioning from edge to edge.

Koroyd inserts are integrated into the core to absorb chatter and vibrations from uneven terrain. This results in a noticeably damp, stable ride that keeps you connected to the snow without feeling harsh or jittery at high speeds.

With a flex rating of 8 out of 10, it is quite stiff and responsive. It provides the reliable edge hold and power transfer needed for aggressive carving, making it a great choice if you prefer a board that doesn't wash out when you push it hard.
