5 star rating27 ReviewsEUR 999.95DETAILSPROFILESHAPEFEATURESSIZE CHARTThe Carbon Flagship is a seriously stiff, competition-ready freeride board built to crush steep terrain at top speed.
Featuring a 3D Contour Base 3.0, Fusion Tech construction and two layers of Textreme Carbon, the Carbon Flagship is chatter free in rough snow and stable enough to stomp the biggest airs.
We’ve completely redesigned the Carbon Flagship for 2020 with a new shape, wood core and base material. The new tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns, while the updated FSC Power Core and Traction Tech 3.0 edges offer unmatched torsional response and edge control. The new Ultra Base is the fastest base we’ve ever tested and comes factory waxed with multiple wax types for better glide in variable snow temperatures.
 
PERSONALITY

 
 
 DIRECTIONAL ROCKERA hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
My experience is that most falls in freeriding start from the nose of the board – you either go over the bars in powder, the nose gets caught under a weird crust and tosses you, or you hit a hard tranny at the contact point of the tip and get bucked. Directional Rocker eliminates most of these falls. — Jeremy Jones
  
 
 TRACTION TECH 3.0 Traction Tech 3.0 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip. 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. BLUNT NOSE How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep, is dictated by it’s front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the ‘snow plow’ rounded tip and it’s extra swing weight. — Jeremy Jones TAPERED SHAPE, 12.5MM The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns. WEND NATURAL WAX Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax. ULTRA BASE New Jones exclusive base material that sets new performance standards. Lab results and snow testing show 25% better wax absorption, better glide in warm/wet snow and better durability for grinding. We’ve also doubled the amount of wax and mixed multiple wax types for a faster factory wax in a wider range of conditions. TEXTREME® CARBON Specially designed carbon fiber (12k non-crimp fabric) that is podium proven in the America’s Cup and Tour De France. TeXtreme achieves a weight savings of about 20-30% compared to conventional carbon fiber. FACTORY TUNED All Jones Snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain. RECYCLED ABS SIDEWALLS ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic. OVERSIZED RECYCLED EDGES All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability. CARBON CONSTRUCTION The Carbon Series are the most high performance boards we produce. They are designed to meet the demands of ground breaking riders who push the limits of what’s possible on a snowboard. If you ride confidently and chase serious new challenges on your snowboard, these are the boards you’re looking for. FUSION TECH Jones exclusive production process allows traditional topsheet layer to be replaced with ultra durable epoxy layer saving weight and material. SUPER SAP BIO RESIN All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy. ECO PLASTIC TOPSHEET (MATT) Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet) FSC™ POWER CORE Triple-density full wood core featuring hardwood bamboo stringers for added pop and durability plus paulownia for weight savings.GEAR 101Not all board shapes are designed to be ridden the same size. Directional Freeride boards are the longest board you will ride.Choose the ideal size Directional Freeride board using your weight and boot size (see the size chart below). 

 If you wear US Men’s 11.5 or bigger, look for our Big Horn series boards with minimum waist width 26.3 cm.Not sure your ideal snowboard size? Check out our sizing guidelines for each model.

 
 KNOW YOUR BOARDThe dimensions of a snowboard define how that board performs on snow. The dimension specs of all our models are fine tuned for specific styles of riding.Understand how waist width, flex and sidecut and stance dimensions effect board performance to find the best board for you.

NEXT LEVEL TECHNOLOGY FOR ULTIMATE RESPONSE
GLIDE. FLOW. FLOAT.
3D Contour Bases are designed to make every run smoother and every turn more effortless by reducing the drag of the board tips. 3D Contour Bases enhance glide and improve float helping you ride faster and with better flow.

I’ve been on a quest to design a snowboard that offers the friction free glide and edge-to-edge fluidity of a surfboard for years. 3D Contour bases finally cracked the code on how to achieve this next level of board performance. Jeremy Jones
