What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Velvet is super balanced—playful enough for presses and spins, but with enough stability and grip to carve hard and hold speed. It’s a true do-it-all freestyle board."The Gnu Velvet Snowboard is designed for riders who treat the entire mountain like their park. With a true twin shape, balanced geometry, and a snappy flex, it delivers the pop, stability, and control needed for freestyle riding in any terrain. Its C2 hybrid contour blends rocker between the feet for catch-free progression with camber underfoot for added stability and pop. Magne-Traction edges offer reliable grip on hardpack and icy conditions, while the FSC-certified wood core and sintered base provide eco-conscious performance and lasting speed. From park jumps to banked slalom turns to urban rails, the Velvet is a versatile tool for creative riding.
