Gnu Something Gnu Snowboard - 2025

Why We Like The Gnu Something Gnu Snowboard

With eras of evolution in the snowboarding industry, there´s still nothing that screams "cool" like a swallowtail directional board. Gnu´s Something Gnu Snowboard takes inspiration from old-school powder boards, utilizing their sick shape and floaty profile but optimizing it with smarter sidecut tech for all-mountain maneuverability. The progressive shape and Magne-Traction edges slice into in-bounds hardpack for cruisy carving without losing any of the float we need for the deep stuff. The tapered swallowtail digs into powder and ice alike for forgiving yet powerful turns. And the hybrid profile places camber where we need it to reduce drift while keeping us aloft.
