Jones Storm Wolf 2023 Snowboard

 Boardworks Breakdown:

This is the wider, more aggressive version of the Lone Wolf. We are especially stoked on this big swallowtail powder gun. 

Manufacturer Description:  

The new Storm Wolf is a high-powered swallowtail that blends the all-mountain versatility of a directional freeride board with signature Surf Series turn performance.

Surfboard shaper Chris Christenson and Jeremy Jones designed this new model by combining the shape and profile of the Storm Chaser and Lone Wolf, hence the name. The Storm Wolf features a Christenson Surf CAMBER profile, long sidecut, mid-stiff flex, 3D Contour Base 3.0 and Traction Tech 3.5 edges. The Surf Camber profile, long sidecut and Traction Tech Edges keep you locked in railing turns at speed while the 3D Contour Base and tapered swallowtail shape help you break loose slashing gullies and transitions. To absorb chatter and punch through rough snow patches, the Storm Wolf construction includes Carbon/Innegra reinforcement and an ECO-Plastic topsheet.

TECHNOLOGY

3D CONTOUR BASE 3.0

Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point. 3D Contour Bases are designed to make every run smoother and every turn more effortless by reducing the drag of the board tips. 3D Contour Bases enhance glide and improve float helping you ride faster and with better flow.

PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT

At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.

Traction Tech 3.5

Traction Tech 3.5 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip.

Christenson Surf Camber/Rocker

Custom rocker/camber flex pattern designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board and helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
