The Jones Mind Expander Twin is a directional twin snowboard that blends the playful feel of the Mind Expander with the freestyle performance of a twin shape. This listing is the 2025 model in 162 cm.

What it's for

Jones describes it as a hybrid for slashing powder, popping off pillows and throwing tricks. It suits riders who want float in soft snow without giving up a twin shape for switch riding and freestyle.

How it works

Directional twin shape: Tip and tail are the same width, with no taper and no setback, so it rides the same in both directions.

CamRock profile: Camber between the feet with rocker toward the tip and tail.

3D Contour Base: The base is beveled like a spoon at the nose and tail, starting just before the contact points. It lets snow deflect away from the tip and makes the edges less catchy. Jones lists a high contour on this board.
