Jones Snowboards Howler Snowboard

No, the Howler is designed for intermediate to advanced riders. With a stiff 4/5 flex rating and a high-power camber profile, it requires precise input and experience to handle technical terrain and high speeds effectively.

Yes, absolutely. While it excels in freeride conditions, its directional shape and medium 3D Contour Base provide enough versatility for switch riding and park laps, making it a great choice for riders who want to mix big mountain lines with freestyle creativity.

The Koroyd core is integrated to significantly reduce chatter and vibration, especially when riding at high speeds or through choppy snow. It keeps the board lightweight while ensuring a smooth, damp, and responsive feel underfoot.

The Howler features a minimal taper, which balances freeride float with freestyle versatility. While it is designed to be ridden primarily in one direction, it is stable enough for switch riding and landing jumps, provided you are comfortable with a directional twin-style feel.

The Sintered 8000 base is high-density and built for speed, but it performs best when kept well-waxed. You should plan to hot wax the base regularly to maintain its glide and protect the material from drying out over time.
