Jones Prodigy
The Prodigy isn't like most kids boards, as you'd expect from Jones, this stunning snowboard steps away from that low quality, low performance, low price mindset that most brands follow and comes in with a real performance board for kids who want to take their riding to the next level. Utilising the same premium materials and performance features as Jones' adult models, the Prodigy offers quick learning young riders a solid foundation to keep progressing their skills. The spooned nose + tail edges on the Prodigy's 3D Contour Base 1.0 allow for fluid 'no catch' turn initiation while the CamRock profile keeps the board floating in any snow condition. The Prodigy is also designed to be a little narrower than most other kids boards, so small-footed riders can learn to rail turns with the board up on edge.
What type of rider?
Intermediate to advanced junior riders looking for a versatile board to take their riding to the next level.
Shape: Directional Twin
The Prodigy utilises a versatile directional twin shape featuring Jones's state of the art Blunt Nose profile. This advanced shape and geometry add float at the nose without compromising the board's overall balance. So, it's equally at home lapping the park as it is hitting powder runs. Also, the Prodigy features the advanced Traction Tech 1.0 sidecut. This places bumps in the sidecut under the feet adding additional bite points onto the edge, increasing edge hold and high-speed stability.
Profile: Directional Rocker
The freeride inspired Directional Rocker profile 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 still delivering a responsive and dynamic ride on hardpack terrain.
A shorter rocker at the tail helps create a more responsive and stable feel at the back of the board while still retaining a more playful freestyle-friendly catch-free ride.
3D Contour Base 1.0
The Explorer 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 not only smooths out turn initiation and exit it also adds additional float while increasing the overall riding stability.
Construction
As the Prodigy is built for smaller riders, Jones re-engineers the full poplar wood Classic core to give a smoother and slightly softer flex. This modification ensures that even the most petite rider can drive this board guaranteeing that you can get maximum performance across all sizes and weight ranges. Keeping this in mind, Jones form the structural layers from a softer flexing bi-ax weave glass fibre. These give the board a smoother and more forgiving torsional flex, ensuring the optimum feel for smaller, lighter riders.
Base
The Prodigy utilises a high molecular 5000 grade extruded base. This high-quality base has many of the properties of a sintered base but helps substantially reduce the board's cost without compromising performance.
