Jones Howler

The Howler is designed for technical freeriding and demands precision, making it better suited for intermediate to advanced riders. Its stiff, responsive construction and directional shape are engineered for steep lines and aggressive riding, which can be unforgiving for someone still learning the basics.

The hybrid full camber profile provides consistent edge contact, which gives you reliable grip on hardpack and icy patches. While it excels in variable conditions, the directional shape ensures it still floats well when you encounter fresh snow off-piste.

Koroyd is an aerospace-grade material that significantly reduces the board's weight while acting as a shock absorber. It effectively dampens chatter and vibrations at high speeds, providing a smoother, more stable ride through choppy terrain.

Like all high-end sintered bases, the 8000 material is porous and designed to hold wax exceptionally well for speed. While it is durable, you should wax it regularly to maintain its glide performance and protect the base material from drying out.

The directional shape is optimized for riding forward, offering superior stability and power when charging down the mountain. It is built to drive through turns and stomp landings with authority, rather than for riding switch or freestyle park tricks.

Yes, the Howler comes factory-waxed and tuned, so it is ready to hit the mountain immediately. However, many riders prefer to apply a fresh layer of wax tailored to the specific snow temperature of their destination for optimal performance.
