BOARD TECH

HANDBUILT IN THE USA

Every Gnu is handmade by snowboarders with jobs in the USA.

 

BTX

All terrain rocker placed specifically between your feet where it belongs. Full tip-to-tail edge contact when you stand on your board for all terrain performance. Banana Tech is easy to ride, rips the hardpack and ice, kills the jibs and floats unbelievably. Bananas!

 

CO-EXTRUDED BASE

A Gnu sublimation system exclusive oddity. Hard, fast and virtually maintenance free.  Loves a good wax job but, still slides well when you forget to wax.

 

MAGNE-TRACTION

“Turns ice into powder”

Serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain especially on hard pack and blue ice!

 

TRUE TWIN GEOMETRIES

Twin (equal length and equal width) tip and tails combined with a centered radial sidecut. Rides equally well in both directions with a focus on freestyle. Park, powder, pipe: perfect.

 

MERVIN A.5 SUSTAINABLE WOODCORE

MERVIN A.5 SUSTAINABLE WOODCORE: ASPEN / EISS 5 SIDEWALLS

- Full Aspen with EISS 5 edge pop / strength.

 

Wood Core Weirdness! 

The world’s fastest growing trees in the Gnu Eco Timber farm benefited from a combination of moist evenings, diffused daylight sunshine and being on the north American avian flyway…abundant natural nitrogen from goose and duck droppings resulted in a exceptional harvest of long fibered lightweight poppy woods that we call “nature’s fiberglass”. This very exceptional crop has been carefully seasoned and built into cores and is the light poppy center of our Gnu Snowboards.
