The Mind Expander is a playful all-mountain board designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson that wants to pop pillows and porpoise through pow. Its a freindly ride as its easy to turn and has a directional shape with a long nose and tapered tail for epic float. This is a board for the creative rider who likes to blaze fresh tracks and draw playful lines down the mountain.
Flex: 6/10
Shape: Directional - Directional shapes that maximize float, speed and response for supreme freeride performance and all-mountain versatility.
High Taper - The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.
Bend: Directional Camber/Rocker - A camber dominant profile that’s enhanced with rocker in the nose and little to no rocker in the tail. Nose rocker improves float and maneuverability in deep snow, while camber from the front binding through the tail offers solid edge grip, precise response and confidence inspiring stability.
Sidecut: Progressive - 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.
Core: Boost Surf Core - Advanced triple-density full wood core made from responsibly harvested Bamboo, Paulownia and Poplar. Bamboo stringers along the sidecut enhance durability, edge response and torsional stiffness, while the Paulownia keeps the core light and damp.
Fibreglass: Biax - Biaxial fiberglass laminate made with a dual layer, dual-directional construction that delivers a forgiving yet snappy board feel with a mid-soft torsional flex and quick energy transfer.
BComp Carbon Flax Stringers - BComp Carbon / Flax stringers offer the perfect performance balance as the carbon provides crazy pop and the flax sucks up chatter and reduces CO₂ emissions compared to a full carbon stringer. Developed in collaboration with the Swiss engineering firm BComp.
Base: Sintered 8000 Base - Premium sintered base material that’s ultra fast, highly wax absorbent, easy to repair and proven to be one of the most durable and long lasting base materials in the industry.
EXTRAS
High 3D Contour Base - Freeride focused 3D Contour Base featuring 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0 to 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just before contact point.
Low 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.
Premium Topsheet - Durable and scratch resistant premium topsheet engineered to endure rigorous daily use in extreme conditions.
Carve Pack - Allows more centered stance option for riding firm snow.
Recycled ABS - Recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish that are engineered to enhance durability by reducing topsheet chipping and impact damage.
Recycled Edges - Bombproof steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting durability.
Wend Natural Wax - All Jones snowboards come factory waxed with WEND natural wax so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop
Bio Resin - Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.
