GNU Velvet Snowboard

The Velvet is approachable enough for confident beginners but performs well enough to satisfy intermediate and advanced riders. Its medium flex and hybrid camber profile make it forgiving for learning turns while offering enough stability for progression.

Magne-Traction features serrated edges that act like a serrated knife, providing extra contact points with the snow. You will notice significantly more grip and confidence on icy or hard-packed groomers compared to a traditional smooth edge.

While the true twin shape is ideal for freestyle riding and switch tricks, the Velvet is designed as an all-mountain board. It handles groomers, side hits, and variable terrain just as capably as it handles park features.

The sintered base is faster and more durable than extruded bases, but it is porous and needs regular waxing to maintain its speed and performance. If you ride frequently, plan to hot wax the board every few times you hit the mountain.

The C2 profile balances rocker between your feet with camber underfoot, which provides a stable platform for carving. While it is more catch-free than a full-camber board, it remains reliable and predictable even when you pick up speed.
