Gnu Barrett

The Barrett is designed for intermediate to advanced riders who want a reliable, all-mountain board. Its directional shape and camber profile make it ideal for someone who spends their time carving groomers, navigating varied terrain, and wants a board that feels stable at higher speeds.

The traditional camber profile provides consistent edge contact and pop, which translates to excellent stability and control. You will notice it feels more locked-in and responsive compared to rocker or hybrid profiles, especially when initiating turns or riding on firmer snow.

Yes, Magne-Traction is specifically engineered to improve edge hold in difficult conditions. By creating multiple contact points along the edge, it bites into hard-packed snow and ice much more effectively than a standard smooth edge, giving you extra confidence when the conditions aren't perfect.

The flex rating of 4.5 to 6 is designed to scale with the board length. Smaller sizes are slightly softer to accommodate lighter riders, while longer sizes are stiffer to provide the necessary support and stability for larger riders. This ensures the board's performance characteristics remain consistent regardless of which size you choose.

While it is a directional board with a 38mm setback, which helps with float, it is primarily built as an all-mountain charger. It will handle powder days well, but it truly excels on groomers and mixed resort terrain.
