Board Tech

Handbuilt in the USA

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

C2 BTX

C2 Floats the pow, kills the jumps and steeps and has the pop and tip to tail stability to stomp whatever you launch. Banana Tech Rocker between your feet, camber at the tips and tails. The perfect solution for aggressive power snowboarding.

Sintered Base

Compression hardened amorphous UHMW skived from the billet to create the toughest, fastest, best wax holding base material around. Slides best and fastest when waxed regularly to match local snow conditions.

Magne-Traction

“Turns ice into powder”
Serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain especially on hard pack and blue ice!

Bio Beans Topsheet

GNU has made a commitment to using a new earth friendly, bio-plastic top skin made from beans that features the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any top sheet in the industry. While there is clearly still the need to invade small, helpless, oil producing countries for money and power, this new age of bio-plastics offers hope of a more peaceful and fruity future!

Directional Twin Shape

Longer tip than tail combined with a centered radial sidecut. Rides great in both directions. Focus is on all-mountain freestyle freeriding, excels in powder, nose floats and shorter tail reduces surface area for added deep snow control.

Eco Genetic Sustainable Woodcore

ECO GENETIC SUSTAINABLE WOODCORE: ASPEN / BC ALT. GENETICS / EISS 9
NEW hybrid BC strain of ALT. GEN. wood cultivated to provide unstoppable pop.
- Lightest / Strongest. We have combined the best properties of Balsa (superlight) and Bamboo (high flex strength and fast growing) and Aspen (light / strong) to create the world’s greatest core. Mother nature is our bitch.

LCP – Liquid Crystal Polymer

Liquid crystallinity is achieved through the heating of a polymer past its melting point, during the cooling phase polymers form highly organized linearly aligned self- reinforcing structures resulting in incredible mechanical properties. Strength, chemical and fire resistance. Strength in a fiber allows us to use less material to achieve the desired physical performance translating into a lighter weight composite. LCP also has a very low vibration frequency and with 10 times the strength of titanium LCP was used as the foundation for interplanetary Mars lander tires. Built into a Gnu snowboard these strong light, damp aramid polyester fibers quiet chatter from rough terrain and create an incredibly smooth, poppy, lightweight ride.
