Jones Mind Expander Snowboard 2024
Why not get your shred buddy a Jones Expander as this years Christmas gift? Whatever their riding style, the Mind Expander will have them looking at the mountain in a whole new light. With a big floaty nose and directional flex pattern, the Mind Expander will have them shredding pow with ease. The one downside, you’ll need to get them a new helmet too, because the Jones Mind Expander will fill their head with a tonne of new ideas.

The king among all-terrain boards, the Orca will have you riders primed to smash deep pow, destroy groomers and hit the park like a pro.
