Jones Freecarver 9000s vs Jones Howler

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Jones Howler leans more freeride/powder/freestyle. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature camber profiles — 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.
