Jones first introduced the Storm Wolf last season as a late model release, but for 21/22 they’ve now introduced it into the main collection. This is great news because, this is without doubt, one of the most excited boards for this coming season. So, what is the Storm Wolf? Well, to put it simply it’s an amalgamation of two of Jones’s most iconic Surf collection boards, the Lone Wolf and the Storm Chaser. By combining the class leading float of the Storm Chase with the charging character of the Lone Wolf, Jones has created a truly stunning freeride board that delivers outstanding performance both on the piste and in the pow. With a fully directional Chris Christenson designed tapered swallow tail shape combined with a floaty powder focused nose and a stiffness rating of 8/10, the Storm Wolf is absolutely in its element charging around the mountain. If you’re one of those riders that loves to ride fast no matter if you’re riding groomers or powder stashes, then the Storm Wolf could just be your dream board.Rider StyleAdvanced to Expert riders who are looking for a serious Gun type snowboard for high speed riding both on and off-piste.Shape OverviewThe Storm Wolf is an amalgamation of both the Jones Lone wolf and Storm Chaser.Taking the classic swallow tail fully directional profile of the Lone Wolf and combining it with the oversized powder nose of the Storm Chaser, Jones has created a board that delivers powder board levels of lift and float in the powder but thanks to the powerful GS inspired central section, a board that absolutely rips on the piste. With its combination of mid radius sidecut, mid waist width and Jones’s innovative Traction Tech 3.0 (1) multi-edge profile and powerful and dynamic flex, the Storm Wolf is a revelation to ride.ProfileThe Lone Wolf utilises an amalgamation of the Christianson Surf Rocker with traditional snowboard profiles to create that balance of off-piste/on-piste performance. Because of the extended nose length, Jones start the Christianson Rocker uplift just forward of the front insert pack. This long profile gives unrivalled float and lift at the nose for stunning off-piste performance. This is then matched with what’s best described as a traditional camber under the feet. This gives the board its stable and reassuring high-speed ride, while that short swallowtail powers the board out of the turn.3D Contour Base 3.0The Storm Wolf’s freeride focused 3D-base contour features 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose. This unique profile ensures that the board delivers a smooth transition into and out of the turn as well as increasing float at the front end. Unlike other boards in the range, the Storm Wolf does away with Spoon in the tail to give you that rock solid and stable drive out the back of the board.ConstructionInternally the Storm Wolf is built for performance, and heading this up is the responsive Bamboo Surf Core. This lively wood core combines lightweight Paulownia with poppy Bamboo located parallel to the sidecut. This powers up the boards on edge response while still delivering a smooth and mellow ride. Now to give the Storm Wolf its predictable and confidence inspiring ride, Jones create the structural layers from a more forgiving bi-ax glass. This notches back response a fraction giving that extra bit of reassurance at high speed. Now to stop that big nose flapping around when you’re gunning it, the designers reinforce it with a blend of Tri-ax Carbon and Innegra.BaseAs the Storm Wolf is all about high-performance, Jones gives it their newly developed high speed Sintered 8000-grade base. This durable material has superb wax holding properties so no matter how hard or how long you ride it’ll deliver a super-fast glide.
