Jones Freecarver 9000s vs Jones Mountain Surfer

How they compare

the Jones Freecarver 9000s leans more all mountain, while the Jones Mountain Surfer 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 Freecarver 9000s has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Jones Mountain Surfer uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). At $599.95 vs $699.95 MSRP, the Jones Mountain Surfer is the more budget-friendly option.
