$369 Intermediate to Expert Freestyle Continuous Rocker Twin Shape The Flow Jewel has Introduced Rocker for 2011 and makes for a decent park board. The base is Extruded and we wouldn't really expect that for a board this price but it is more sturdy and requires less maintenance. This is very park specific rocker that will do better than some continuous rocker shapes outside the park on groomers but it still doesn't have the stablilty of some flat camber or hybrid rocker and camber snowboards. It's mainly because the rocker between the feet is closer to flat. All in all the Jewel is a good (not great) park board for the price. Not much has changed with the 2012 model.
The new Flow Jewel is a women's snowboard that performs in the park and rules in the pow. The Jewel is equipped with Flow’s Whiskey Royale technology that eliminates chatter and provide a smoother ride. A true twin for equal control in any direction allows for unmatched park and all-mountain riding. Flow's Jewel is also the recipient of the coveted Fall 2011 "Good Wood" award from Transworld Smowboarding.
Reverse camber combined with a convex base for a more natural feel on rails and smoothness in the chop. This, in combination with camber starting before the binding area, provides stability and camber-like pop no matter where you mount your bindings. The I-Rock combines a surfy feel with pop and stability.
Similar to the ReFlex core, TruFlex core technology features a high strength-to-weight wood construction utilizing different density poplar woods uniquely profiled to give you excellent all-around response when riding the mountain.
Whiskey Royale technology utilizes Biax Fiberglass beneath the heel and toe areas of the binding, eliminating chatter and making for a smoother ride. By directing the glass toward the edge, we increase the edge hold while allowing for quicker, easier turn initiation and delivering a responsive ride and increasing the life of the board.
All New Whiskey Shooter uses 4 precured carbon plates with a unique shape that tapers into the tips in a reverse "V" for the most pop without chatter while freeing up the nose and tail for any transition, rough terrain, and heavy pressing.
A smooth, easy, torsional feel, the majority of the fibers are in the 0 axis to add extra pop and an easy torsional flex to the board. Easy carving for all-mountain or park performance.
A high-density, extruded base that is extremely easy to maintain and fix. The Optix 2000 is one of the highest waxabsorbing bases on the market and will give you all the speed you need even if you don’t wax on a regular basis.
Sidecut designed around our rocker boards, the EZDT is mellow between the bindings and at the tips with a more aggressive grip in the binding areas. This creates a more forgiving ride when things get a bit bumpy, and a tight radius blended for quick, snappy, powerful carving.
The TruTwin is the essence of shape for a park board. Equidistant amounts of nose and tail allow a rider equal opportunity to ride their natural direction or switch.
Flow Jewel 2011
JEWEL FREESTYLE/PARK
FREESTYLE FORTITUDE AT A FINE PRICE
If you demand a board that performs in the park and rocks in the pow, then you’ll find it in the Jewel. This true twin has more pop with our souped-up I-Rock technology. Throw in some Whiskey Royale, and the Jewel is a board that can handle the day-to-day abuse that comes with big jumps and behemoth rails, or a leisurely day lapping the mountain. You don’t have to be “girly” to get burly on the Jewel.
