Kaitlyn Farrington US Open 2013 Run

Congrats to Kaitlyn Farrington for her 4th place finish at the US Open superpipe finals! Kaitlyn rode great on her C3 B-Pro and put together a really solid run. Kaitlyn was the only women landing back to back 9's and she even got a bs 10 in on her last hit... One of the first women to throw one in competition! Kaitlyn has by far the most technical combo's in the women's field and she is so much fun to watch! Check out her run...

This year was my first time on my majestic split board and it was amazing. It completely opened up a new side of snowboarding for me!

True GNU
From the beginning Gnu has focused on working with the world’s best female riders to create snowboards that make every day on edge a magical experience. From 80's World Champion Amy Howat and 90's X Games and US Open champion Barrett Christy to current u-ditch champion Kaitlyn Farrington, Gnu ladies have amassed more awards and podium appearances than any other woman's snowboard brand over the past three decades.

A family affair, Barrett Christy now oversee's the Gnu Girls Division, working closely with the team riders to give our designers and machinists unmatched insight into the subtle nuances that transform women's snowboards from functional to fantasy.

Curious Questions and Answers

We are proud of the fact that we can claim we were Kaitlyn's first sponsor, and even more proud of the accomplishments we've seen her achieve since we first met. Kaitlyn has the kind of carefree, positive attitude that will take her to great places in life... I guess it already has, but no doubt she's got a lot of adventure ahead of her. Her podium placements at major events in recent years weren't really a surprise to us, we know she's got the ability to land on many more. What she has that none of her peers on the pipe circuit do though, is country. She grew up on a farm in Idaho, and her snowboarding was originally funded by the selling of livestock. She knows what hard work is and she doesn't back down in competition. She's got the perfect combination of technical ability and cowgirl courage. Kaitlyn is true Gnu.

Tell me a story about a day on your board:
My Velvet Guru EC2 BTX or as I call it my Love Guru really helps me try and soar when riding the halfpipe. Why do I call it the love guru? Maybe it's just because the board is my love, my one and only love at the moment. I've ridden it all season this year, I strap it to my truck (my mini cooper) and ride it in everything... powder, jumps, rails, pipe and I love it, it's a great board! EC2 makes it easy to go from one thing to the next, because I don't really like to switch up my equipment much, I just find something that works and stick with it!
