Gnu B-Nice
Best forgiving board for progressing beginner to intermediate riders.
This is the ideal progression tool for riders who want to stop fighting their gear and start focusing on technique. Its asymmetrical design makes turning feel intuitive and effortless, though you sacrifice the high-speed rigidity that advanced, aggressive riders usually demand for charging steep terrain.
