This is going to be a quick overview of all the 2020 Jones snowboards.
First let's take a look at any new boards for the 2019-20 season, and any 2018-19 models that aren't returning.
Then we'll see each board in the categories where I see them best fitting.

All 2020 Jones Snowboards by Category
Jones' 2019-20 boards are categorized below. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and not necessarily the same as what Jones themselves might label them as.
These are only broad categories, of course, as every board is different. This is a rough category guide.
As is typically the case with Jones in previous years, and no exception for 2020, they are largely focused on the freeride end of the spectrum for snowboards, without any really freestyle focused options. And they have the largest selection of split boards of any brand that I'm aware of.
JONES BEGINNER SNOWBOARDS
As was the case for 2019, and previous years, Jones don’t really do beginner boards, IMO.
JONES PARK/FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS
There aren’t any boards in the Jones lineup that fit this category, IMO.
JONES ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS
There aren’t any boards in the Jones lineup that fit this category, IMO.
JONES AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS
There aren’t any boards in the Jones lineup that fit this category, IMO.

Summary
So there you have the 2020 Jones snowboards.
Again for 2020, Jones have focused on boards more towards the freeride end of the spectrum - and continue to have the most split options out of any brands that I can think of, with 12 split options, including 3 women's split boards and even a youth split board!
By the time you count out the Frontier (which is basically the Explorer with a new name and a couple of new sizes), there aren't a lot of new boards - with the Ultra Mind Expander and Women's Hovercraft Split being the genuine new introductions. But some boards have undergone relatively significant changes - namely the Flagship, Carbon Flagship & Women's Flagship.
I had the privilege to ride and test several 2020 Jones models, and will release my reviews for those throughout the year. For all Jones reviews on Snowboarding Profiles, check out the link below:
