Jones Howler 2027

No, this board is designed for intermediate to advanced riders. With a 4/5 flex rating and a full camber profile, it demands precise technique and rider input to perform correctly.

The Koroyd core significantly reduces the board's swing weight, making it feel more agile and responsive underfoot. It also provides excellent shock absorption, which helps dampen vibrations when you are riding through choppy or variable snow conditions.

While the tapered shape is optimized for forward-facing performance and float, it is still capable of riding switch. However, you will notice a slightly different feel compared to a true twin board, so it is best suited for riders who primarily ride in one direction but want the option to land or ride switch occasionally.

The Howler is a versatile all-mountain freeride board that thrives in big mountain environments. It shines when you are treating the entire mountain like a terrain park, offering the stability needed for technical lines and the pop required for side hits and natural features.

The full camber profile provides a more aggressive, locked-in feel with maximum edge hold and explosive energy return. It is less forgiving than a rocker or hybrid profile, meaning it will punish mistakes more readily but reward you with superior precision and power.

Like any high-performance sintered base, it requires regular waxing to maintain its speed and durability. If you keep it well-maintained, it will provide excellent glide and momentum, even in variable or sticky snow conditions.
