Just look at the DOAs trophy case, you'll see a Transworld Good Wood award for every single year of its existence.The DOA stands out above the rest due to it's hybrid camber that puts the pop and response of positive camber back in your board while still keeping a catch free and easy flexing ride, it's super snappy carbon and Kevlar Bound Sidewalls that make this thing feel alive and it's amazing graphic. With such a stellar reputation you'd think the rumours couldn't possibly be true, but this board boasts performance and power beyond its price point, and with an unprecedented 7 consecutive Transworld Good Wood awards, the DOA talks a big game and backs it up without question.

Jones Flagship 2023
The Flagship excels in technical terrain and is one the most confidence inspiring freeride boards on the planet. Featuring a directional rocker profile + Traction Tech 3.0 for unmatched edge grip on hard snow and a 3D Contour Base 3.0 for epic float in pow, the Flagship carves, stomps or straight lines with unbelievable precision with an aggressive flex rating 8/10. The Flagship’s 12.5mm tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns, while the Engineered Veneer Topsheet, Flax/Basalt Power Stringers and new Power Core add torsional response and reduce board chatter in rough snow. The Flagship has Float Pack inserts that give you the option of super setback stance on the deepest days.
Flex: Stiff
Shape: Directional
3D Contour Base 3.0 – Freeride focused 3D Contour Base featuring a 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0 -7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.
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.
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
Base:
Sintered 9900 Base – Sintered Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene with carbon additives.
Flip Flop Base – Flip-Flop bases improve board sustainability by reducing p-tex waste.
Bio Resin – All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions 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.
Wend Natural Wax – Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
Edges:
Oversized Recycled Edges – All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
Traction Tech 3.0 – Traction Tech 3.0 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip.
Burton Custom Flying V 2023

Ride Warpig 2023
Why bother defending awesome when you can make awesome your biatch? The Ride Warpig lives up to its name by creating a war with opposing board brands, while serving and protecting the public. Serving up ample amounts of fun with its proven Tapered Directional Rocker shape that is shorter, wider, and more maneuverable for a board that performs in the park and will still float like a board twice its size. Our Slimewalls serve to protect your investment with the durability of urethane by absorbing impact damage to your edges, as well as reducing vibration that makes boards chatter at high speeds. Some may be fine merely defending awesome, but this pig is built to slay the entire mountain and awesome doesn't stand a chance. This is a staff favourtie and best seller for us at First Tracks year after year.
RIDE exclusive Slimewalls are forgiving and ductile, absorbing impacts rather than defending against them. Just like your skate wheels, the urethane in Slimewalls smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood or metal surfaces you may RIDE on. On top of all that, these babies are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.
SINTERED BASE
High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
PERFORMANCE CORE
High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.
HYBRID GLASS
Triaxial on top, biaxial on base, balanced torsion and stiffness for better response with speed.

Ride Superpig 2023
The Ride SUPERPIG infuses high-end tech into the best-selling WARPIG shape for an elite all-mountain deck. If you find yourself seeking out something big and bad, avoid the other pigs and take shelter with the SUPERPIG, because this board is built like a bloody brick shithouse. The SUPERPIG is the same shape as the WARPIG, just with a lot more tech and a little bit of camber. Size the SUPERPIG down 6 to 10 cm's from your standard size because of the innovative shape. The SUPERPIG rides like a very angry WARPIG. This board is made for the demanding rider that wants the aggressive thrash style of the WARPIG with camber and a little more stiffness. Don't let the shape fool you this board will go anywhere and do anything. Of course it will ride powder with its short wide shape, but you'll be really impressed at how fast the SUPERPIG goes from edge to edge on hardpack and the pop the camber provides. A Tapered Bi-Radial Sidecut maximizes grip and maintains speed in all conditions. Carbon Infused Glass provides extra pop. Slimewalls provide a smoother ride and increase durability. Carbon Array 5 provides extra pop without adding stiffness. The low friction Race Base is made from a carbon infused sintered base material to ensure a fast ride.

BI-RADIAL SIDECUT:
A twin sidecut which allows for the underfoot width of a wide board in the tip/tail width of a standard size. This design provides improved leverage on landings, grip through turns, and stability on flat base.
PERFORMANCE CORE:
High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.
SINTERED BASE:
High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
SLIMEWALLS:
RIDE™s exclusive Slimewalls are forgiving and ductile, absorbing impacts rather than defending against them. Just like your skate wheels, the urethane in Slimewalls® smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood or metal surfaces you may ride on. On top of all that, these babies are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.
CARBON SLIMEWALLS:
This totally unique sidewall combines layers of Slimewalls® material and carbon strategically placed at the inserts out to the contact points in the tip and tail on a twin, and the back inserts to the contact points in the tail on a directional board. This exclusive tech enhances the charging riders experience as we have moved the carbon pop construction to the outside edge for better stability and enhanced response.
ROLL-IN CONSTRUCTION:
Unique 3D structure built around our urethane Slimewall® sidewalls. Designed to increase overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.
IMPACT PLATES LAMINATES:

CARBON ARRAY LAMINATES:
This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers placed at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control. Offered in two levels of technology, 3 & 5.
TOPLESS CONSTRUCTION:
By transferring graphics directly to the fiberglass, Topless Construction removes the need to have any topsheet material. This process improves overall durability and reduces weight.
CARBON INFUSED GLASS FIBERGLASS:
90° Carbon fibers stitched into the glass. Extra pop and response, without adding extra stiffness.
Size Guide: Size wise a Medium (151cm) suits someone between 59kg and 86kg and if your looking for more speed and stability for bigger terrain, size up and alternatively if you're on the lower end of weight recommendation you can comfortably size down.
