Gnu

Keeping snowboarding weird since 1977, Gnu brings a classic quirkiness and funky style, along with visionary, progressive technology and careful attention to its snowboards and snowboard bindings. From pow to pipe, Gnu snowboards will keep you riding at the top of your game, while throwing a twist of psychedelic creativity into your style. Each Gnu snowboard is hand-built by snowboarders right here in the USA, so every purchase supports local snowboarders, artists, musicians, free thinkers and weirdos who are working toward their next epic adventure. After all, we all know what you call a snowboarder without a girlfriend: homeless.

Gnu snowboards and snowboard bindings feature innovative and thoughtful technologies that have come about from creative, curious and passionate minds. Magne-Traction serrated edges, vibration-eliminating liquid crystal polymers and wood cores made from sustainably-harvested wood are a few examples of Gnu standards that are anything but standard. Banana Tech places rocker between your feet and camber at the tips and tails for an all-terrain shredding machine. Pickle Tech construction delivers asymmetrical sidecuts to balance the different turning mechanics required for heel-side and toe-side turns.
