Jones Flagship Pro vs Jones Howler

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride and powder terrain, while the Jones Howler leans more freestyle. 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 Pro 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 Howler uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Jones Flagship Pro is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range. At $699.95 vs $949.95 MSRP, the Jones Howler is the more budget-friendly option.
