Jones Ultra Prodigy Youth Snowboard 2023

The Ultra Prodigy is a new addition to the Jones range for 22/23 and has been designed and built for hard-charging kids whose skills and technical prowess on a snowboard defy their age. Built around a supercharged directional twin shape, the Ultra Prodigy is the latest evolution of Jones’s belief that talented young rippers deserve every bit of board performance that adults do. The Ultra Prodigy’s directional twin shape and True Camber profile offer versatile manoeuvrability everywhere, from the trees to the terrain park. At the same time, the spooned nose and tail edges on the 3D Contour Base 1.0 allow for fluid ‘no catch’ turn initiation. The Ultra Prodigy is made for young riders who rip, so it’s slightly narrower than most youth boards as you don’t need that extra confidence-inspiring stability you get from a regular kids board. This narrower width means that small-footed riders can now drive those edges properly and really start to get the board carving. The Ultra Prodigy has a Power Core, Basalt Power Stringers, and a Sintered 8000 base for racing around and beating parents down the mountain. It’s also a little stiffer than the standard Prodigy for going big and riding fast.

Rider Style

Fast riding kids and younger riders looking a versatile board that rips in any terrain or conditions.

Shape Overview

The directional twin shape delivers the perfect balance of freestyle control and all-terrain versatility. The advanced nose profile features extended contact points. This innovative technology gives the board class-leading float in deep snow, adding to the all-terrain versatility. The 3D contour base 1.0 adds 3D profiling to the nose and tail, giving the board a smoother edge to edge transition and improving lift and float. To give the Ultra Prodigy extra grip when blasting the piste, it utilises Jones’s Traction Tech 1.0 Sidecut. This innovative technology adds additional traction points to the sidecut, allowing the board to rip through even the most bulletproof conditions.

Profile

The traditional full camber profile offers the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. The camber radius tapers into the bevelled 3D Contour Base at the tips, which releases the edges where they like to hook. It balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser, less-catchy feel.

3D Contour Base 1.0

The Ultra Prodigy features the 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

Heading up the Ultra Prodigy’s performance construction is the lively Power Core. This state of the art wood core combines poplar, paulownia and bamboo to deliver the optimum balance of performance, durability and lightweight. To this, Jones then add structural layers formed from high-quality bi-ax glass. This more compliant glass fibre creates a more natural flexing board that delivers a smooth, progressive ride, perfect for lighter younger riders. However, to add additional pop into the board, Jones then add additional Basalt stringers..

Base

As the Ultra Prodigy is all about high-performance, Jones gives it their high speed Sintered 8000-grade base. This durable material has superb wax holding properties so no matter how hard or how long you ride it’ll deliver a super-fast glide.
