Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride and powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Jones Frontier 2.0 targets intermediate riders while the Jones Hovercraft 2.0 is aimed at expert riders. At $549.95 vs $649.95 MSRP, the Jones Frontier 2.0 is the more budget-friendly option.
