Gnu Banked Country Snowboard

This board is built for aggressive, experienced riders who want a high-performance tool for all-mountain and freeride terrain. With a flex rating of 6.5, it offers enough stiffness to charge through variable conditions and hold an edge on groomers, while remaining responsive enough for banked slaloms.

The Directional Camber profile is specifically tuned to provide float in powder while maintaining the stability needed for high-speed riding. Combined with the board's directional shape, it keeps the nose up in deep snow without sacrificing the precise control you need on hardpack.

Yes. The Directional Progressive Magne-Traction creates multiple contact points along the edge, which significantly improves grip on ice and hard-packed snow. It essentially acts like a serrated knife, allowing you to carve confidently where standard boards might slip.

While it leans toward freeride and all-mountain performance, the Carbon Power Bands provide plenty of snap and pop for side hits and natural features. It is not a dedicated park board, but it is versatile enough for aggressive riders who like to incorporate freestyle elements into their mountain riding.

The sintered base is highly durable and excellent at retaining wax, which keeps you moving fast. To maintain its performance, you should plan on hot waxing it regularly, especially if you are riding in dry or abrasive snow conditions.

The 38mm setback shifts your stance slightly toward the tail, which naturally helps the nose float in powder and makes turn initiation feel more intuitive. It is a classic setup for directional boards that prioritize stability and control over switch-riding performance.
