Discover the new Something Gnu
A giant leap forward for mankind... Gnu was recognized by TWS Magazine as the first brand to bring deep carve sidecuts to the market, specifically designed for resort hardpack terrain. This innovation was crucial as snowboards evolved from finned backcountry powder designs to modern all-terrain “directional device” resort ATVs.
The Something Gnu snowboard draws inspiration from Mike Olson's finless designs from the 1980s and incorporates all our knowledge from the past 40 years of Gnu board building. This results in a snowboard that is perfectly tuned for the contemporary snowboarder. The finely tuned progressive sidecuts offer forgiving turn initiation and a fin-like grip in the tail, allowing for deep, powerful carves on hardpack and ice.
The long, smooth tip ensures effortless floating in powder on those special days, while the swallow tail and taper provide even more control and float. This makes the Something Gnu ideal for both powder days and hard, frozen slopes. The modern directional C2 contour works in harmony with the tip and the entry sidecut for easy turn initiation, while the tight, shorter camber offers grip in the tail for radical power carving in the resort.
The Something Gnu snowboard combines business refinement at the front with a powerful party mode at the back. This snowboard is perfect for those looking for a all-mountain board that performs under all conditions. Whether you're making sharp turns on an icy slope or tearing through deep powder, the Something Gnu provides the control and stability you need!
This snowboard is not only a technical masterpiece but also a tribute to the rich history of snowboard innovation from Gnu. Experience the perfect balance between past and future with the Something Gnu snowboard, and discover for yourself why this board sets the new standard for all-terrain performance.
For the serious snowboarder who only settles for the best, the Something Gnu offers unparalleled versatility and control. Get ready for the ultimate riding experience and elevate your snowboarding adventures to the next level with the Something Gnu snowboard.
