What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The GWO is the board I recommend for anyone who wants an easy, fun, and confidence-boosting ride. The Banana profile makes it super forgiving, but it still has enough pop and control to handle the whole resort. It’s a progression machine."Who It’s For Beginner-to-Intermediate Riders: Perfect for newer riders or those building confidence who want a forgiving, easy-turning board that still has the chops to explore the whole mountain. What It’s For Progression in the Park and Beyond: Designed for mellow carves, catch-free freestyle practice, and playful all-mountain cruising, the GWO makes learning new tricks and exploring varied terrain intuitive and fun. Why We Like It Forgiving Banana Profile With All-Mountain Edge Hold: The Gnu GWO Snowboard pairs an Original Banana rocker-camber blend with an asymmetrical twin design to deliver effortless turn initiation, balanced switch control, and catch-free play. Magne-Traction edges bite into firm snow for security, while the sustainably built G1 Eco core keeps things lightweight, durable, and eco-conscious. Finished with a low-maintenance co-extruded base, the GWO is built to last while letting us focus on progression instead of upkeep.
