What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Something Gnu rips in powder but surprised me with how well it carves groomers. The swallowtail floats with ease, and the Magne-Traction edges give it extra bite on hardpack. It’s a killer mix of retro vibes and future-focused tech."Who It’s For Intermediate to Advanced Freeriders and All-Mountain Explorers: This board is made for riders who want powder-ready float without sacrificing in-bounds versatility. The swallowtail shape, hybrid rocker profile, and medium flex make it ideal for riders progressing into freeride terrain or seasoned shredders seeking a daily driver that’s playful yet powerful. What It’s For Powder Lines and All-Mountain Carving: Inspired by classic powder shapes but built with modern construction, the Something Gnu thrives on deep days and still holds its own on groomers. The C2 hybrid rocker floats over chop and snow, while the progressive sidecut and Magne-Traction edges offer confidence-inspiring grip for carving corduroy and navigating technical terrain. Why We Like It Retro Shape, Modern Tech: We like the Something Gnu because it captures the soul of snowboarding’s past while being fully equipped for today’s riders. It’s surfy, stable, and confidence-boosting, making every powder day and every resort lap feel like something special.
