evo.com | Jones Snowboards > The Jones Stratos Snowboard is a modern day freeride icon with deep roots in the ancient art of freestyle. The name alone evokes a timeless, elevated quality, as if strapping in grants the rider access to the upper reaches of the stratosphere, hucking thousand foot cliffs and stomping landings on monstrous cumulonimbus clouds. It's heady stuff, but this board delivers down here in the surface realm, too. The hybrid shape blends the directional feel of a freeride charger with the narrow sidecut and playful flex of a freestyle specialist. With 10mm of taper and Float Pack Inserts, it crushes pow on the deepest days, and it's the first board you'll reach for when the groomers are firing. Add the Stratos to your quiver and it's all up for grabs. Go get some! Directional Flex Pattern 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. 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. FSC(TM) Ultra Core The new Ultra Core is Jones' lightest wood core yet. Made from mostly paulownia with specially positioned poplar stringers for better durability and turn power. Recycled ABS ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Jones improves the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic. The Jones Meteorite Snowboard Bindings have spent eons careening through time and space for one simple purpose: to shred pow on planet Earth. They're stable, comfortable, and precise, with a medium-stiff flex for added support and Skate Tech technology that transfers energy directly to your edges. These bindings are a great choice whether you're tricking, hucking, or trucking.
