Jones Stratos Snowboard

The Stratos is approachable enough for a confident beginner but offers enough performance to satisfy an expert. Its medium flex makes it forgiving at slower speeds, while the directional shape provides stability as you progress to more challenging terrain.

The tapered shape helps the board initiate turns more easily and float better in powder, but it still holds a solid edge on groomed runs. You will find it feels nimble and quick edge-to-edge, though it may feel slightly different than a true twin board if you ride switch frequently.

Yes, it is designed specifically for that. The combination of the directional rocker profile and the tapered tail allows the nose to stay above the snow effortlessly, giving you that 'surfy' feeling without needing to lean back aggressively.

This is a true all-mountain board. It excels for riders who want one deck that can handle everything from carving up icy morning groomers to slashing through afternoon powder stashes or hitting side-hits in the park.

The Carbon Flax stringers add a snappy, energetic pop to the board without making it feel overly stiff or harsh. It provides excellent dampening, which helps absorb vibrations when you are riding through choppy or uneven snow.

While the Stratos is a directional board, it is still capable of riding switch. However, because of the tapered shape and setback stance, it won't feel identical to riding in your natural direction. If you spend 50% or more of your time in the park riding switch, you might prefer a true twin shape.
