Jones Discovery Youth Snowboard 2020 | 145cm

THe SeRIOUS FReeRIDe BOARD FOR YOUNGeR RIDeRSThe Discovery is aimed at those younger or lighter riders who are looking to step away from those soft-flexing freestyle based boards that every brand seems to offer and to step up to a proper freeride inspired all terrain board. Sharing much of its DNA with the award-winning Flagship, this fully directional board delivers the perfect balance of both on and off-piste performance while still being playful enough for lapping the park. Now, although the Discovery is in a different league compared to most junior boards, don’t go thinking that this is difficult to ride. With its mid-flex, it delivers excellent performance without being overly aggressive.Rider StyleBeginner to expert youth riders wanting a more freeride inspired ride.Shape OverviewThe Discovery’s directional shape has been specially engineered to create a versatile ride across the whole mountain. Its innovative Blunt Nose Profile allows the nose to rise quickly in deep snow, while the Traction Tech adds multiple contact points to the sidecut. This ensures that the Discovery feels locked in on even the iciest terrain.ProfileDirectional Rocker: This freeride inspired shape combines a long rocker zone at the nose with camber between the feet and a shorter rocker at the tail. This profile allows the board to float effortlessly in deep snow while still delivering a responsive and dynamic ride on hardpack terrain.That shorter rocker at the tail helps create a more responsive and stable feel at the back of the board while still retaining a more playful catch free ride. 3D Contour Base 1.0The Discovery features the unique Spoon-3D base. This advanced design bevels the base at the tip and tail to reduce friction at the contact points. This not only smooths out turn initiation and exit it also adds additional float while increasing the overall riding stability.ConstructionHeading up the Discovery’s high-quality construction is the durable yet lightweight Classic Core. This premium poplar wood core delivers the perfect balance of performance, pop, flex and strength and is the ideal foundation for the Discovery’s versatile ride. Now as Jones wanted to keep this board a little bit more playful, it utilises softer flexing bi-ax glass structural layers. These allow the board to flex both lengthwise and torsionally and are crucial to delivering that unique, playful freeride feel.BaseNow, as the Discovery is all about freeride performance, Jones doesn’t hold back when it comes to the boards base material. Stepping things up compared to most youth boards, they fit it with a super-fast and super tough 7000 Sintered base. Factory waxed with Wend Natural wax it’s going to deliver a high-speed ride no matter the conditions.Additional informationLengthWaist WidthSidecutTapereffective edgeTip LengthTail LengthRef StanceCentred StanceSetbackWeight Range13823.9cm6.6m0cm100.2cm23.5cm20.9cm54cm52cm2cm90-140lbs / 41-63kg14524.5cm7.0m0cm106cm23.5cm21.5cm54cm52cm2cm100-150lbs / 45-68kg
