Jones Hovercraft 20 vs Jones Mind Expander

How they compare

the Jones Hovercraft 20 leans more freeride, while the Jones Mind Expander leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Jones Hovercraft 20 has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Jones Mind Expander uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Jones Hovercraft 20 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
