Gnu Velvet C2

The Velvet C2 is very approachable for intermediate riders looking to progress, but it might be a bit too responsive for a complete beginner. Its medium flex and hybrid profile make it forgiving enough to learn on, yet capable enough to handle aggressive freestyle riding.

This board excels on firm snow thanks to its Magne-Traction serrated edges. By creating multiple contact points along the edge, it grips into ice much better than a traditional smooth-edge snowboard.

While it is built with freestyle progression in mind, the twin shape and versatile flex make it a true all-mountain board. It handles groomed runs, side hits, and banked slaloms just as comfortably as it handles park features.

The sintered base is faster and more durable than extruded alternatives, but it requires regular waxing to maintain that performance. If you keep it waxed, you will notice a significant difference in glide speed, especially on flat sections.

Yes, the Velvet C2 features a true twin shape with a 0 mm setback. This means the board is perfectly symmetrical, making it ideal for riders who spend time riding switch or want a balanced feel for spins and freestyle maneuvers.

This wood core blend is designed to be lightweight without sacrificing strength. It gives the board a snappy, energetic feel that helps with pop when jumping, while keeping the overall weight down for easier maneuverability.
