The Frontier is aimed at riders who are looking for a more freeride-focused ride but who still want a board that's a little bit more rider-friendly and playful than the typical all-or-nothing performance you traditionally get from freeride boards. Designed unashamedly for the more recreational rider, the Frontier is the perfect daily driver for anyone who spends most of their time riding the resort. Equally happy in waist-deep powder as it is charging around on the piste or cruising around the resort, the Frontier lets you get out there and ride everything that the mountain puts in front of you, It won't even feel out of its depth when you want to take a lap through the park, and there aren't many freeride-inspired boards you can say that about.
Rider Style
Beginner to expert riders looking for a versatile freeride-inspired board.
Shape Overview
The Frontier's directional shape is engineered to create a versatile ride across the whole mountain. Its innovative Blunt Nose Profile allows the nose to rise quickly in deep snow, while the Traction Tech 2.0 adds multiple contact points to the sidecut, ensuring that the Frontier feels locked in on even the iciest terrain. However, the freestyle-inspired tail is the secret to the Frontier's outstanding performance. This softer flexing tail gives the board a freestyle-friendly slant and creates a more playful overall ride delivering a versatile freeride board that you don't need to push hard to get the most out of.
Profile
The freeride-inspired Directional Rocker combines an extended rocker zone at the nose with a camber between the feet and a shorter rocker at the tail. This profile allows the board to float effortlessly in deep snow while delivering a responsive and dynamic ride on hardpack terrain.
That shorter rocker at the tail helps create a more responsive and stable feel at the back of the board while retaining a more playful, catch-free ride.
3D Contour Base 1.0
The Frontier features a unique Spoon-3D base. This advanced design bevels the base at the tip and tail to reduce friction at the contact points. This technology not only smooths out turn initiation and exit but also adds additional float while increasing the overall riding stability.
Internals
Heading up the Frontier's high-quality construction is the durable yet lightweight Classic Core. This premium poplar wood core delivers the perfect balance of performance, pop, flex and strength and is the ideal foundation for the Frontier's versatile ride. As Jones wanted to keep this board a little more playful, it utilises softer flexing Bi-Ax glass structural layers. These allow the board to flex lengthwise and torsionally a little easier and are crucial to delivering that unique, playful, freeride feel.
Base
To ensure the Frontier delivers the optimum performance, it utilises a super-fast 8000 Sintered base. Factory waxed with Wend Natural wax it provides excellent glide in all conditions.
