Since the beginning Gnu Snowboards have been handbuilt in the USA by Snowboarders with jobs at the World's most environMENTAL board factory! Brought to life with ZERO HAZARDOUS waste right here in Sequim, Washington, at Mervin Manufacturing, every unreal snowboard has ECOconscience. If you don't believe us, drive out there... The address is 35 Banana Way, and ask for Pos, or check out MervinMade.com
TECH
ADVANCED CONTOURS
Gnu’s Aerospace engineers bring you a contour guaranteed to make snowboarding more fun, Original Banana Technology. Mild rocker between your feet combined with mild cambers to the tips and tails. The most fun contour to progress on. Learn to ride on day 1or learn new tricks everyday like Blake Paul or Barrett Christy, Original Banana makes it all easy. Carves the hardpack, rips the pow, jibs everything.
MAGNE-TRACTION
Magne-Traction is science based magic you are actually very familiar with. With 7 strategically located edge serrations, your edge hold and control in all conditions just got upgraded! Yeah it's kinda like a serrated steak knife and turns ice into powder!
ASYMMETRY
In board meeting long ago with lots of charts, graphs, pie, and pie charts someone made the observation that every human body is different. And he was right! How do we account for this? By developing a proprietary core construction, sidecut and contact geometries with anatomical intuition! A technological upgrade for the 21st century. When cut in half we are not exactly the same and we’ve made snowboards with an operating system that supports this fact.
Level 1
Asym Core / Sidecut
- Asymmetric wood core... softer flexing on heelside.
- Sidecut: Deeper sidecut on the heelside.
Level 2
Asym Core / Sidecut / Contact
- Asymmetric wood core... softer flexing on heelside.
- Sidecut: Deeper sidecut on the heelside.
- Contact: Asymmetric contact angles and length. Shorter heelside contact.
