Why We Like The Gnu Essential Snowboard

Because we demand a board that can handle our 100-day seasons, we rip on the Essential Snowboard. Gnu's signature C2 Hybrid profile is the ideal deck for hitting groomers, powder stashes, and park laps. Rocker enhances float and offers forgiveness when carving, ollieing, and jibbing, while cambered sections provide power and stability to ride it all in confidence. The directional twin shape is friendly in our regular or switch stance, and it offers the drive and decisiveness we need to navigate trees and other off-piste features. Because it's finished with a speedy sintered base and trusty Magne-Traction edges, there's nothing this workhorse can't handle.
