Jeremy Jones, the owner and founder of Jones snowboards, says this is his favourite board in the range, not just for powder but also can be used for resort riding as well. As you can imagine, it performs incredibly well in powder, floating, surfing, speeding, and doing everything you want, but put it to work on the groomers and you'll find it carves and glides like you wouldn't expect. Surprisingly stable and fast while still being super nimble, the Storm Chaser is a board you're going to be seeing more and more of and is designed to float, carve, and at the bottom line, be a powerfully fun board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e* Jones recommend you ride the Storm Chaser 6-13cm shorter than your traditional Directional Freeride board. *\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Type: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePowder\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003c!--BAR GRAPH--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n        .bar-container {\n            width: 100%;\n            background-color: #c0c4c9;\n            border-radius: 5px;\n            border: 1px black;\n            margin: 10px 0;\n            overflow: hidden;\n        }\n        .bar {\n            height: 30px;\n            text-align: left;\n            line-height: 30px;\n            color: black;\n            padding-left: 10px;\n            font-weight: bold;\n            border-radius: 5px;\n            background-color: #a7abae;\n            \n        }\n        .bar1 { width: 60%; }\n        .bar2 { width: 100%; }\n        .bar3 { width: 30%; }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bar-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bar bar1\"\u003eAll Mountain 6\/10\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bar-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bar bar2\"\u003ePowder 10\/10\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bar-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bar bar3\"\u003eFreestyle 3\/10\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003c!--END GRAPH--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePowder snowboards are designed for deep snow.
