What is a “Blem” Snowboard?
A “blem” (blemish) snowboard is a brand-new, unused board that has a minor cosmetic flaw from the factory. These imperfections are typically very subtle and might include:
- A slight fading in the graphics.
- A graphic that wasn’t laid perfectly straight.
- A minor scratch or scuff that doesn’t impact the structural integrity.
Crucially, these cosmetic blemishes DO NOT affect the performance, durability, or warranty of the snowboard. You get the full performance and manufacturer’s warranty at a significant discount.
Key Features of the Jones Ultra Flagship for Utah’s Terrain:
The Ultra Flagship is renowned for its Directional Rocker Profile (a hybrid rocker/camber pattern with more tip rocker than tail rocker and camber between the bindings). This profile delivers:
- Exceptional Float: The rockered nose lifts the board effortlessly in deep powder, making it feel “unsinkable” on Utah’s legendary snow days.
- Powerful Edge Hold: The camber underfoot provides impressive edge grip and response for aggressive carving on firm snow.
- Stability at Speed: The combination of camber and rocker, along with its stiff flex, ensures supreme stability when charging at high speeds and through variable terrain.
The board features a Tapered Directional Shape with a significant taper (typically around 12.5mm or 13mm) and a setback stance (around 20mm or more). This design actively sinks the tail in powder for enhanced float and quicker, surfy turns. The 3D Contour Base 3.0 (a spoon-like bevel in the nose and tail) further enhances glide and fluidity in turn initiation, especially in soft snow.
The Ultra Flagship boasts an ultra-stiff flex (rated 9 or 10 out of 10), providing maximum power, response, and precision for advanced and expert riders. Jones’s Forever Flex manufacturing process helps stabilize the flex and rocker for the board’s lifetime.
