 If you're in the market for an easy-going free ride board, let's be honest, it's a bit sparse on choice. There's plenty of hard charging boards like the flagship out there, which is all well and good if you're one of those riders that really likes to charge, but not so attractive if you're on a board that will let you just cruise around. Well, step forward the all-new Jones Dreamcatcher. Sharing much of its DNA with that high-performance flagship, the Dreamcatcher takes the award-winning free-ride directional design philosophy and integrates into a much more user-friendly board that delivers great performance when you need it, but a more forgiving playful ride when you don't. Built around an all-new directional chassis utilising Jones's innovative blunt-nose profile, it gives all the float that you could ever wish for. But the secret to the Dreamcatcher's unique ability to blend performance with that friendly feel lies not in the nose, but at the tail. Ignoring the established design doctrine, Jones creates a softer, more freestyle-friendly flex at the back of the board. This is opposite to the stiff tail that you'd normally expect, resulting in a playful, more rider-friendly experience. The fact that it does this without compromising the Dreamcatcher's overall performance though is a great example of being able to have your cake and eat it. The Dreamcatcher's great performance is headed up by Jones's innovative directional rocker camber profile. This blends an extended rocker from the nose to the inserts, with a lively camber under the feet and a short, low-profile rocker at the tail. Match this with the mellow three-point magnetraction side cut, and you have a board that delivers unrivaled float, but with a responsive and confidence-inspired feel through the turn that lets you push it to the max on those days you do want to charge hard. Internally, the Dreamcatcher is built around the quality classic core. This responsive and durable Slovenian popular wood core delivers the perfect balance of rider-friendly flex, snappy-poppy ride alongside a more playful overall feel. Add to this the softer-flexing bias-class structural layers and a fast 7000 grade scented base, and you have all the ingredients in place for a high-quality, great performing board.
