Jones Snowboards Howler Snowboard

It is a true hybrid. While the directional shape and high-power camber are built for steep lines and stability, the responsive flex makes it surprisingly capable for hitting jumps and playing in the park.

The Koroyd core is primarily there to dampen vibration. It absorbs chatter on rough or icy snow, providing a smoother, more stable feel underfoot without adding the weight of traditional dampening materials.

This flex rating is ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who want a responsive, stiff board that won't buckle at high speeds. It offers enough power to charge hard, but it isn't so rigid that it becomes unforgiving.

Because it has a 20mm setback, it is optimized for riding forward in powder and on groomers. You can certainly ride switch, but it will feel slightly different than a true twin board, requiring a bit more adjustment in your stance.

Like all high-end sintered bases, it requires regular waxing to maintain its speed and performance. If you keep it waxed, it will be significantly faster and more durable than an extruded base.
