Jones Mind Expander - Details
- Christenson Surf Rocker: Rocker front from the inserts, rocker back from the inserts, flat in the middle
- Mellow Magne-Traction: More lateral support through multiple contact points along the edge of the board
- Quick Tension Tail: Built-in clamping system for climbing skins
- Blunt Nose: A snowboard with a relatively "blunt" tip has more buoyancy than a pointed board with the same length. So the Jones is buoyant and agile at the same time!
- Progressive Sidecut: Greater radius towards the ends - so curves can be introduced more smoothly
- Core: Wood core made of light poplar and Paulownia wood. Particularly noteworthy are the good damping properties.
- Biax Fiberglass
- Sintered 9990: The fastest, most resilient base from Jones
- Recycled ABS Sidewalls
- Wend Natural Wax: Jones snowboards are factory waxed with Wend Natural Wax.
- Eco-Plastic Topsheet. The plastic is extracted from vegetable oil. The material is very scratch-resistant and reduces snow adhesion.
- Robust Oversize Recycled Edges
- Karakoram Ultra Clips
- Bolt-Less Bridge - no holes in the base
The Mind Expander Splitboard from Jones is new this season and is designed for riders who love surfing and want to surf in snow. The blunt nose together with the rocker profile provide good float. The regular tail gives the pop and the short sidecut radius enables easy manoeuvring in narrow terrain. Conclusion: With this powsurf-splitboard you shred with ease through woods and the one or other backcountry freestyle session can be done with ease.
Jones Storm Chaser versus Mind Expander?
Well, a difficult question. Compared to the Storm Chaser the Mind Expander is 7 cm or 11 cm longer and has a real tail. Both are Powsurf-Splitboards with identical Surf Rocker profile. Despite the extra length, the Mind Expander doesn't lose any maneuverability. The Storm Chaser is certainly the better choice for ascents. On the descent it's certainly a matter of taste. With both boards it's like surfing: If you are a fan of a Fishboards you will like the Storm Chaser more. The Mind Expander rides more like a regular board thanks to the tails and is if you want to compare, more comparable to a round-tail shortboard.
