Gnu Velvet

The Velvet is designed for intermediate to advanced riders. While its catch-free hybrid contour makes it approachable, the flex and responsiveness are tuned for someone who already has a solid foundation and is looking to progress their freestyle skills.

Magne-Traction creates multiple contact points along the edge, which significantly improves grip on hard-packed snow and ice compared to traditional sidecuts. It provides a reliable, locked-in feel when you're carving through firm conditions.

While it excels in the park, the Velvet's hybrid C2 contour and true twin shape make it surprisingly capable in softer snow. It’s a versatile all-mountain deck, though it will feel most at home on groomed runs and natural features rather than deep backcountry powder.

Because it uses a high-quality sintered base, this board is built to be fast and durable. To keep it performing at its best, you should wax it regularly to prevent the base from drying out and to maintain its speed.

Yes, the Velvet features a true twin shape with a centered stance. This design is ideal for freestyle riding, as it makes the board feel identical whether you are riding regular or switch.
