The 2015 GNU Beast Split was named one of the best snowboards of the 14/15 season by Whitelines Snowboarding.
“Given the name, I thought this was going to beast me, but it was very easy to throw around. At the same time it’s brilliant at high speed – a proper charger. I thought that you would have to be a big dude with a lot of strength to get the most out of this board, but it’s just not the case. Gnu’s profile technology has been around for a long time now and this board shows that they really know what they’re doing. They have also started to lose the heavy feel that I used to associate with their boards in years gone by.” – Neil McNair
