Jones Hovercraft vs Jones Stratos

How they compare

the Jones Hovercraft leans more freeride/powder, while the Jones Stratos 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 has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Jones Stratos uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
