Jones Snowboards
Womens Mind Expander

FIRST PROTOTYPE Breaking new ground in board development requires an open mind and a willingness to explore both in the shaping room and on the hill. These two templates are early concepts that eventually led to the Mind Expander.WOMENS MIND EXPANDER

The new Womens Mind Expander is an alternative all-mountain board built to slash every terrain feature in sight. Surf shaper Chris Christenson and Jeremy Jones designed the Womens Mind Expander for the creative rider who draws lines blending freestyle, freeride and surf styles. For playful float in pow the Mind Expander features a Christenson Surf Rocker profile, SPOON 3.0 base contours and a hybrid directional shape. The blunted nose, squared off, but full size tail, and tight sidecut offer the nimble maneuverability of a directional board with the freestyle abilities of a directional twin. The Womens Mind Expander also features a Bamboo Surf Core for powerful edge response and Web Fused Carbon in the nose to eliminate vibration and smooth out the ride in rough snow.

FROM SHAPING BAY TO MOUTAINS

Honored to continue a design partnership with renowned San Diego surfboard shaper Chris Christenson. Chris is one of the most diverse surf shapers in the world and makes everything from contest boards to longboards and record breaking big wave guns.

CHRISTENSON SURF ROCKER PROFILE

Custom tip/tail rocker profile designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson for the Mind Expander, Mountain Surfer and Storm Chaser. The nose rocker starts just inside of the front inserts and the tail rocker starts just at the back inserts. When you weight the tail of the board the nose ramps up out of the snow for insane float on the deepest days. These subtle rocker contours match a Christenson surfboard rocker profile.

TRACTION TECH

Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.

BLUNT NOSE

PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
