BOARDWORKS BREAKDOWN:
This board rips. You will see a lot of these around because they charge. Anything you throw at this board, it’ll handle it.
Manufacturer Description:
The completely redesigned Airheart is a hard-charging directional twin built for expert all-mountain riders who like to carve turns and catch air.
The Airheart is one-of-a-kind in the Jones women’s line thanks to its TRUE CAMBER profile. Tip-to-tail camber matched with a directional twin shape delivers phenomenal power and stability edging on steeps and stomping tricks. The Airheart is built to rip in mixed conditions and features a 3D Contour Base 2.0, Triax Fiberglass, Sustainable Flax/Basalt Stringers, an ECO-Plastic topsheet, and Traction Tech 3.5 edges. The 3D Contour Base starts after the contact point and helps eliminate edge catch and improve turn fluidity while the Triax fiberglass and stringers under the Eco-Plastic topsheet suck up board chatter and offer supreme pop and lightning fast response. To reduce swing weight and lighten the overall board weight, the Airheart has Koroyd in the nose of the woodcore.

TECHNOLOGY
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.
Traction Tech 3.5
Traction Tech 3.5 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip.
Blunt nose
How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep, is dictated by it’s front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the ‘snow plow’ rounded tip and it’s extra swing weight. – Jeremy Jones
Directional flex pattern
Off set tip-to-tail flex pattern that is designed for directional freeride boards. The nose, center of board and tail are slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink the tail and improve stability at speed.
V-core
Jones exclusive wood core profiling that offers a stable and playful board feel. The wood core is softer between the feet for easy turn initiation and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability riding through uneven terrain and landing airs.
True Camber
A traditional full camber profile that offers the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. The camber radius tapers into the beveled 3D Contour Base at the tips which releases the edges where they like to hook and balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser, less-catchy feel.
BASE
WEND NATURAL WAX
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.
Construction
Koroyd **New**
Koroyd is the lightest, most advanced damping core material we’ve ever tested. Koroyd absorbs vibrations and adds response at a fraction of the weight which enhances control and confidence.
FIBER
TRIAX FIBERGLASS
Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
INSERT PACK
FLOAT PACK
Allows super setback stance for deep pow days.
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.
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.
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.
OVERSIZED RECYCLED EDGES
All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
REINFORCEMENTS
SUSTAINABLE FLAX/BASALT POWER STRINGERS
Sustainable stringer made with 100% natural fibers. Basalt stringers improve torsional response and transfer power from under your feet to the tips of the board to eliminate nose and tail chatter.
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
POWER CORE
Triple-density full wood core featuring hardwood bamboo stringers for added pop and durability plus paulownia for weight savings.
