"With snowboards or surfboards, I don't believe in riding the same board every day. I like to base what I'm riding off my mood and the conditions. The Mind Expander is a smooth and casual cruiser that I like best for riding pow in the trees. That's where it outshines other boards. Or in spring snow. The Mind Expander is a slush machine."

Chris Christenson On The Waviest Snowboards With Jeremy Jones
Jones Snowboards, the company that has helped define the backcountry experience through their films and products, is celebrating ten years in the industry. It is interesting because the impact that they are having on the industry feels like its been longer.
Jeremy Jones and his brothers have established the lifestyle that many aspire to have, but through their film-making and storytelling, they inspire people worldwide to want to get out and get it.
All of the magic that Chris was already doing to surfboards was now blessing Jeremy Jones and the snowboarding world, making The Jones' Surf Series a game-changer for backcountry riders.

The first offspring of Chris and Jeremy's design partnership was the perfect crossover point between surfing and snowboarding - a binding-less board made for pow surfing. The board was dubbed the Mountain Surfer.
