Jones Flagship Junior vs Jones Freecarver 9000s

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Jones Flagship Junior leans more freeride/powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Jones Flagship Junior has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Jones Freecarver 9000s uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Jones Freecarver 9000s is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range. At $399.95 vs $699.95 MSRP, the Jones Flagship Junior is the more budget-friendly option.
