This compact swallowtail board prioritizes both powerful carving and effortless float in deep snow, making it the perfect companion for adventurous all-mountain riders. The Storm Chaser's secret sauce lies in its unique shape and profile. Developed by legendary surfboard shaper Chris Christenson, this design combines a rockered tip and tail with a cambered section underfoot which provides powerful edge control and response while allowing the nose to effortlessly rise in soft snow. Built with an FSC Certified Bamboo Surf Core, the Storm Chaser also boasts a perfect balance of performance and eco-friendliness. This triple-density core utilizes paulownia wood stringers as its foundation, keeping the board lightweight and strong while bamboo stringers are strategically placed in the sidecut areas, adding stiffness and pop for powerful carving and enhanced edge control.
Christenson Surf Camber - Custom rocker/camber flex pattern designed by surf shaper Chris Christenson. 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 and helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
FSC™ Bamboo Surf Core - Triple density Bamboo Surf wood core that features primarily paulownia stringers with bamboo stringers positioned in the pocket of the sidecut for better edge response and turn power.
Biax Fiberglass - A dual-direction, dual layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun and forgiving ride due to its tensile strength, reliability and snappy response.
Basalt Power Stringers - Sustainable stringers made with 100% natural fibers. Basalt stringers improve torsional response and transfer power from under your feet to the tips of the board to help eliminate chatter.
Sintered 8000 Base - New super durable material made form Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easily repairable, highly wax absorbent and wicked fast.
Eco-Plastic Topsheet - Bio-plastic top sheet made from Castor beans features a subtle texture for increased durability. This eco-material is lightweight and chip/scratch resistant.
Oversize Recycled Steel Edges - All Jones boards are made with oversize recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
FSC Sustainable Wood Core - All Jones wood cores are made with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood. Every piece of wood used comes from a responsibly managed forest.
