Youth and Small-Adult Splitboard

Jones Youth Solution Splitboard

The Jones Youth Solution Splitboard is a full-featured split for kids and small adults stepping into backcountry touring with a parent or partner. A 5/10 flex and a 6.9 m sidecut on the 142 make it easy to turn at low speed, while 12.5 mm of taper and a directional rocker profile keep the nose up in powder. At 2,500 g per board in a 142, with sizes from 137 to 147 cm, it is light enough for smaller riders to carry up the skin track and still ride the way down with control.

Why We Like It

  • At 2,200 g per board in a 137 and 2,600 g in a 147, the Youth Solution keeps the climb manageable for lighter riders.
  • A 5/10 flex lets a lighter rider bend the board into a turn, so control comes from technique rather than strength.
  • The same features as the adult Solution, including Karakoram clips, a Boltless Bridge and Traction Tech 3.0 on the inner and outer edges, mean the board grips on icy skin tracks.
  • 12.5 mm of taper and a rockered nose keep the board afloat in powder without the rider having to lean back.

Best Uses

  • First backcountry tours for young riders
  • Family touring days
  • Small adults who need a short split
  • Mellow powder and tree runs
  • Riders on 137 to 147 cm boards

Splitboard Selection Advice

Size the Youth Solution on rider weight and how much growth room you want. A board that reaches between the rider's chin and nose gives control now with room to grow, and a board at eyebrow height suits a strong rider or one who will ride it for several seasons. The waist runs 23.6 cm on the 137, 24.0 cm on the 142 and 24.4 cm on the 147, so check that the rider's boots do not overhang.

Small adults usually fit the 147, which weighs 2,600 g per board. Skins are sold separately and attach through the tip clips and the tail notches.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Jones Youth Solution Splitboard?
The Jones Youth Solution Splitboard suits kids and small adults who are ready to tour. It weighs 2,200 to 2,600 g per board, flexes at 5/10 for lighter riders and carries the same Karakoram clips and Traction Tech 3.0 edges as the adult Solution.
What bindings and skins work with the Jones Youth Solution Splitboard?
The Jones Youth Solution Splitboard uses the standard splitboard insert pattern, so it takes splitboard-specific bindings that switch between tour and ride mode on puck or interface hardware. Standard solid-board snowboard bindings are not compatible. Skins are sold separately and attach at the tip clips and the tail notches.
What size Youth Solution should my child ride?
Pick a length between the rider's chin and nose for control now, or closer to eyebrow height for growth room. Check that boots do not overhang the 23.6 to 24.4 cm waist.
How much does the Youth Solution weigh?
Jones lists 2,200 g per board for the 137, 2,500 g for the 142 and 2,600 g for the 147. Each figure is for one complete board, both halves together.
Is the Youth Solution good for small adults?
Yes. The 147 runs a 24.4 cm waist, a 7.2 m sidecut and 108 cm of effective edge at 2,600 g per board. It gives small adults the Solution shape with a softer 5/10 flex.
How soft is the Youth Solution?
Jones rates it at 5/10, medium and forgiving. Lighter riders can bend it into a turn at moderate speed, and camber underfoot still gives it pop and edge hold.

Our Verdict

The Jones Youth Solution Splitboard brings a real touring board to riders who are usually stuck on a cut-down solid board. A 5/10 flex, tight 6.6 to 7.2 m sidecuts and 12.5 mm of taper make it easy to turn and float, and Karakoram clips with Traction Tech 3.0 edges make it secure on the climb. At 2,200 to 2,600 g per board across 137 to 147 cm, the Jones Youth Solution Splitboard is the board to start a young rider touring.

The Jones Youth Solution Splitboard is a full-featured split for kids and small adults, with a 5/10 flex, 12.5 mm of taper and 2,500 g per board in a 142.
