Jones Mind Expander 2.0 Snowboard – 2027

The Jones Mind Expander 2.0 Snowboard brings surf-inspired creativity to the entire mountain, combining effortless powder float, nimble maneuverability, and powerful carving performance in a uniquely versatile directional snowboard. Redesigned for 2027 with a new shape, updated Float CamRock profile, and dual-radius sidecut, the Mind Expander 2.0 takes the playful feel of the original Mind Expander and expands its capabilities across groomers, powder, and variable terrain.

Designed in collaboration with legendary surfboard shaper Chris Christenson, the Mind Expander 2.0 is built for snowboarders who see the mountain as an open canvas. Its long, rockered nose, tapered directional shape, and responsive cambered tail allow riders to draw smooth, flowing turns in fresh snow while maintaining the edge hold and stability needed for carving groomed runs.

Whether you're chasing deep powder at Mt. Hood, weaving through trees, or laying down surf-style carves on the way back to the lift, the Jones Mind Expander 2.0 delivers a lively, floaty, and incredibly fun all-mountain experience.

Float CamRock Profile – Powder Float Meets Carving Power

The Float CamRock profile combines an extended rocker section in the nose with camber extending through the rear of the board.

The long nose rocker provides exceptional lift in deep snow, helping the board stay on top of powder with less effort. The cambered tail creates a supportive platform that delivers edge grip, energy, and drive when carving groomers or navigating firmer conditions.

This hybrid profile allows the Mind Expander 2.0 to maintain its signature surf-inspired powder performance while delivering a more responsive and versatile feel on hardpack.

Directional Shape & Medium Taper – Surf-Inspired Performance

The Mind Expander 2.0 features a directional shape with 10mm of taper, a longer nose, shorter tail, and a setback stance.

The wider nose and narrower tail help the board naturally rise in powder, making it easier to maintain speed and control through deep snow.

Its directional outline also creates a nimble, responsive feel when navigating trees, making quick turns, or riding technical terrain.

With a 20mm stance setback, the Mind Expander 2.0 places riders in a balanced position for directional freeriding and effortless powder float.

New Dual-Radius Sidecut – Dynamic Carving Performance

The redesigned dual-radius sidecut is one of the defining updates to the Mind Expander 2.0.

Developed to improve turning performance on groomed snow, the updated sidecut helps the board transition smoothly between different turn shapes while maintaining a responsive, predictable feel.

This design makes the Mind Expander 2.0 more capable on piste without compromising the flowing, surf-inspired character that made the original Mind Expander so popular.

From quick directional changes to long, drawn-out carves, the new shape provides greater versatility throughout the mountain.

High 3D Contour Base – Smooth Turns & Effortless Glide

Jones' High 3D Contour Base incorporates pronounced spoon-shaped beveling in the nose and tail to improve glide, float, and turn initiation.

Inspired by the rounded bottom contours of surfboards, this design helps reduce edge drag and allows the board to move smoothly through variable snow conditions.

The nose features 4–8mm of spoon bevel, while the tail incorporates up to 7mm, helping the board roll naturally from edge to edge.

In powder, the contoured base improves lift and helps the nose deflect snow rather than push through it. On groomers, it creates smoother turn initiation while allowing the cambered section of the board to maintain dependable edge engagement.

Dual-Radius Flip Tips – Improved Clearance & Float

The Mind Expander 2.0 incorporates Dual-Radius Flip Tips, designed to increase the upward angle of the nose and tail on compact directional shapes.

This additional clearance helps reduce the likelihood of the board's tips catching or diving beneath the snow.

Combined with the Float CamRock profile and 3D Contour Base, the Flip Tips contribute to the Mind Expander's smooth, playful feel in powder and variable conditions.

Medium-Lively Flex – Responsive & Playful

With a 7/10 flex rating, the Mind Expander 2.0 offers a medium, lively response that balances energetic carving performance with playful maneuverability.

The supportive construction provides stability when riding at speed and enough power to drive through turns, while maintaining the flexibility needed for surf-style riding and creative terrain exploration.

This combination makes the Mind Expander 2.0 an excellent choice for riders who want a directional snowboard that feels energetic without becoming overly demanding.

Master Core – Lightweight Strength & Pop

The Master Core uses a dual-density combination of responsibly harvested Paulownia and Poplar wood.

Built with a 1:1 ratio of Paulownia and Poplar stringers, the core balances lightweight construction with durability, energy, and responsive flex.

This construction helps the Mind Expander 2.0 maintain a lively feel while providing the strength needed for demanding all-mountain and freeride conditions.

Biax Fiberglass & Carbon/Flax Stringers

The Mind Expander 2.0 features Biax Fiberglass, providing a forgiving yet responsive torsional flex with smooth energy transfer.

The dual-directional fiberglass construction allows the board to flex naturally through turns while maintaining the support needed for confident edge control.

Jones also incorporates ampliTex Carbon/Flax Stringers, combining carbon fiber with naturally sourced flax to enhance performance.

These hybrid reinforcement materials contribute to the board's responsive, energetic character while complementing its lightweight wood core.

Sintered 8000 Base – Fast, Durable Glide

The Sintered 8000 Base is a premium, high-performance base material designed for excellent speed, wax absorption, and long-term durability.

Its dense construction provides dependable glide across a wide range of snow conditions, from cold winter powder to variable spring snow.

The base is also designed to be repairable, making it a practical choice for riders who put in a lot of days on the mountain.

Every Jones snowboard comes factory waxed with WEND natural wax, so the Mind Expander 2.0 is ready for the mountain straight out of the shop.

Forever Flex – Consistent Performance

Jones' Forever Flex technology helps stabilize the snowboard's flex and rocker profile over time.

Each board is built and then mechanically conditioned through a process designed to simulate approximately 20 days of riding.

This process helps create a more consistent flex feel from the first day on snow while maintaining the board's intended performance characteristics throughout its lifespan.

Responsible Materials & Durable Construction

The Mind Expander 2.0 incorporates several thoughtfully selected materials designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining premium performance.

Its Bio Resin uses 27% plant-based carbon, while recycled ABS sidewalls and recycled steel edges provide durability and dependable edge performance.

A scratch-resistant premium topsheet helps protect the board from everyday wear, and the snowboard is manufactured in a Fair Trade Certified factory powered by solar energy.

These construction choices reflect Jones' commitment to producing high-performance snowboards with greater attention to material sourcing and manufacturing.
