Womens Flagship

The Womens Flagship 26/27 is the freeride board where the Jones story began, and one of the most confidence-inspiring freeride boards there is. It is built for steep lines, deep days and technical terrain, but works just as well when conditions bring you in bounds. Flex 8 out of 10 is mid-stiff with clear response, and the board is stable at high speed. If you want a softer, more forgiving board, there is the Womens Dream Weaver 2.0.

How it feels

The board is directional, with a longer nose, shorter tail and the bindings mounted slightly back (setback), which gives float in powder. Camber underfoot and three grip points per edge (High Traction Tech) give edge grip even on hard snow. The spoon bevel in the nose and tail is Jones’ strongest, up to 8 mm in the front, which reduces drag and makes the turn easy to roll into. The ash wood veneer topsheet is light and damp and takes away vibration in the edges.

For those who want to know more

Control Core in paulownia and poplar 2:1, triaxial fiberglass with bio epoxy, Bcomp stringers of carbon and flax, an ash wood veneer topsheet and a Sintered 8000 base.
