Serious backcountry tool for smaller riders. Ideal for sidecountry and backcountry exploration.The Youth Solution is a high performance splitboard designed for youth and small adults.This fully featured splitboard throws open the door for smaller riders to confidently ride advanced backcountry terrain and explore the wilderness. The Youth Solution has a directional rocker profile that excels in the inevitably variable backcountry snow conditions and a tapered directional shape that sinks the tail for better float in pow. The Youth Solution also features a 3D Contour Base 1.0 that helps eliminate edge catch and improve turn fluidity and Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0 edges for added grip on icy skin tracks or firm descents. For speed and durability, the Youth Solution is built with a blazing fast Sintered 8000 base and the Boltless Bridge plus Karakoram Split and Tip + Tail Clips. New for 22/23, the Youth Solution now features Quick Tension Tail Clip notches.3D Contour Base 1.0:- Subtle yet effective 3D Contour Base featuring an even balance of 2mm spoon bevel in the nose and 2mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just after the rocker point.Shape Tech:Inside & outside Traction Tech 2.0:- 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.Inner edge Traction Tech:- Inner edge Traction Tech improves splitboard edge grip on ascent. Three sidecut bumps on each side of your binding keep your locked in on icy skin tracks no matter which way you are traversing.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.Quick Tension Tail Clip:- Built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.Boltless Bridge:- The Boltless Bridge eliminates split clip attachment hardware from the base of the board by re-profiling the wood core at the clips. The wood core under the clips is thicker, providing better torsional stiffness and a more powerful connection at the split clips.Tapered shape, 12.5 mm:- The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.Profile:Directional Rocker:- A 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.Features:Built with the finest tech and materials:- 100% of our adult models feature high-end materials, construction technologies and sustainable manufacturing process. We accept no compromises in producing the most durable and sustainable snowboarding gear.Base:Sintered 8000 Base:- New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easily repairable, highly wax absorbent and wicked fast.Wend Natural Wax:- Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.Flip-Flop Base:- Producing two or more base color options minimizes p-tex waste. Order may be filled with either color. Color does not vary by size.Extra hardware:Karakoram Ultra Clips:- Ultra clips are the strongest, lowest profile splitboard clips in the world. They deliver unmatched compression between board halves and they are adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.Fiber:Biax fiberglass:- A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.Other features: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.Oversized recycled edges:- All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.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.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.Forever Flex:- Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.Stainless steel reinforcement:- Stainless steel plates are embedded into the nose and tail for improved board tip durability.Topsheet:Eco-plastic topsheet:- Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).Woodcore:Classic Core:- Full wood premium poplar core than offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.Specifications:- Board Size (cm): 137- Board Weight : 2,2kg / 4,84lbs- Surface Area (dm2): 33,36- Contact Length (cm): 91,3- Effective Edge Length (cm): 98,3- Tip Length (cm): 27,6- Tail Length (cm): 18,1- Waist Width (cm): 23,60- Underfoot Width - Front Foot (cm): 24,94- Underfoot Width - Rear Foot (cm): 24,67- Tip Width (cm): 27,5- Tail Width (cm): 26,7- Sidecut (m): 6,6- Taper (cm): 0,83- Centered Stance (cm/in): 52 / 20,4- Insert Pack: Splitboard PackTechnology:Premium sintered base:- Life’s too short to ride slow bases! All our boards have hyper fast sintered bases made from super durable and wax absorbant premium P-tex. See the tech features for specific base details.Boltless Bridge:- Less hardware, more power. The Bolt-less Bridge eliminates split clip hardware from the base of the board and enhances split connection by re-profiling the woodcore under the clips.Factory tuned, ready to shred:- Buy it, mount it, rip it! All boards leave the factory ready to ride with de-tuned tip + tail, edges angled at 90°/0° and bases waxed with Wend natural wax.Forever Flex:- Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.Sustainably made, built by the sun:- We strive to make gear with the least carbon footprint possible. All boards built with Bio Resin, recycled sidewalls + edges and sustainably sourced woodcores + topsheets. Jones boards are also now built with 100% solar power.Inner/Outer Traction Tech edges:- Lock in up and down. Traction Tech on inside and outside split edges improves grip on icy skintracks or firm descents.3D Contours Base:- Welcome to the future. 3D Contour Bases are next-level tech that enhances glide + float and delivers unmatched turn flow and fluidity in any snow condition.Sustainably sourced woodcore:- All Jones woodcores are made from wood species that have been sustainably grown and harvested. See the tech features page for more details.Biax Fiberglass:- A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
