The GNU Women’s Park Pickle has received a Good Wood Award for Women’s Park!
Perfectly balanced for the female form, the Park Pickle utilizes a more ergonomic, asymmetrical shape and a deeper sidecut on the heelside to balance body and board movement. Its easy-riding Banana Technology and grippy Magne-traction edges refine the ride even further. No matter if you shred regular or goofy, or slide switch or sideways, this board will put you in balance.
Sizes: 140, 144, 148
“So much fun! Good pop, felt stable on jumps and real jibby feeling … like riding a skateboard.” ~Tester Feedback

Forest Bailey Get’s Absolutely Pickled!
Over the past few years Gnu rider Forest Bailey has repeatedly strapped himself to the top of a Pickle and gotten completely weird. His skate influenced take on snowboarding is decidedly un-kosher. He rides hard, wins contests, wears sweaters, is salty and has achieved supreme balance through asymmetry. Forest Bailey has earned his very own Gnu Psychedelic Park Pickle model!
SIZES – 150, 153, 156
Limited edition Early Release Forest Bailey Psychedelic Park Pickle Model available now!
PICKLE TECH!
Your body is asymmetric, your snowboard should be asymmetric.
Twin asymmetric Magne-Traction Banana for ducks! The Park Pickle takes the next step in snowboard specific geometries. Banana between your feet for easy riding, catch free park freestyle performance, and unreal float in powder. Magne-Traction for unreal edgehold everywhere. Asymmetric sidecuts and construction to balance the different turning mechanics required for heelside turns and toe side turns. Your heels have power and a direct line to your edges…your toes have finger like finesse and control but your energy must be transmitted out too your toes through the power robbing 90° angle of your foot and ankle. Your body is asymmetric, your snowboard should be asymmetric. Park Pickles with a deeper heelside sidecut and unique asym core, are designed around progressive riding and modern freestyle duck stances in all terrain. Experimenting is fun! TWSNOW Good Wood Winner! Snowboarder Best of Test Winner!

The GNU B-Nice has received a Good Wood Award for Women’s under $399.00!
This mellow-riding, Banana Tech reverse camber deck has claimed four Good Wood wins in a row! It has twin geometry, but features a slightly longer nose than tail to help out on those days when it dumps. The sidewalls are beefed up with strips of hard birch wood to hold up to abuse, while the fast base is nearly maintenance free. One word: nice.
Sizes: 145, 148, 151, 154
“Easy to butter, spin, press, and just snowboard in general. Get ready to get loose!” ~Tester Feedback

The Gnu Carbon Credit has received another Good Wood Award for Men’s Under $399!
“Good mix of carvability and playfulness. I could carve really hard and still feel comfy on every jib.”
~ Good Wood Tester
This board’s perfect twin shape and sidecut will help set your riding straight. The Banana Technology and biaxial glass make it easy to flex the board where you want. The jagged Magne-Traction edges grip, and the beefed-up birch sidewalls add durability. An eco-farmed Aspen core minimizes the toll on taking down trees.
Sizes: 147, 150, 153, 156, 156W, 159, 159W, 162W, 165W
