Product Description

EASY TO RIDE ALL TERRAIN FREESTYLE BANANA

The B-Nice simply makes riding easier. It’s Banana at it’s best for entry level rippers.It floats in powder like a dream, carves the hardpack and ice and is loose for freestyle fun in the park and all over the mountain. Each of these graphics are visual expressions of the feeling you get when you have the run of your life. Fun, flowing, effortless, and explosive! A perfect combo of banana and Magne-Traction with a friendly flex makes everyone feel Nice. Ridden by true Gnu friends Meg Pugh and Kelly Underwood.

HANDBUILT IN THE USA

Every Gnu is handmade by snowboarders with jobs in the USA.

BTX

All terrain rocker placed specifically between your feet where it belongs. Full tip-to-tail edge contact when you stand on your board for all terrain performance. Banana Tech is easy to ride, rips the hardpack and ice, kills the jibs and floats unbelievably. Bananas!

CO-EXTRUDED BASE

A Gnu sublimation system exclusive oddity. Hard, fast and virtually maintenance free. Loves a good wax job but, still slides well when you forget to wax.

MAGNE-TRACTION

“Turns ice into powder”
Serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain especially on hard pack and blue ice!

TRUE TWIN GEOMETRIES

Twin (equal length and equal width) tip and tails combined with a centered radial sidecut. Rides equally well in both directions with a focus on freestyle. Park, powder, pipe: perfect.

MERVIN A.5 SUSTAINABLE WOODCORE

MERVIN A.5 SUSTAINABLE WOODCORE: ASPEN / EISS 5 SIDEWALLS
- Full Aspen with EISS 5 edge pop / strength.

Wood Core Weirdness!
The world’s fastest growing trees in the Gnu Eco Timber farm benefited from a combination of moist evenings, diffused daylight sunshine and being on the north American avian flyway…abundant natural nitrogen from goose and duck droppings resulted in a exceptional harvest of long fibered lightweight poppy woods that we call “nature’s fiberglass”. This very exceptional crop has been carefully seasoned and built into cores and is the light poppy center of our Gnu Snowboards.

ABOUT THE ART

Yago lives and works in Berlin but hails from Barcelona. His works are featured in private collections around the world. His breathtaking color smears speak volumes, and make your eyes happy. The vibrant 80’s day-glo swirls and splashes fit the mood of the B-Nice perfectly and inspired our 12/13 graphics. www.yagohortal.com

Gnu boards will help you ride on ice! – Rating 5

Posted by Bryn - Cleanline Employee – 27th Oct 2012

Ice. I immensely dislike snowboarding on ice. I traveled all the way to New Zealand last year and the first thing on my list to do upon arrival was snowboard. I paid to rent gear, and as I am totally spoiled on my gear from working in board shops for the last 6 years, this was extremely painful. Yes, I ended up with slightly soggy boots that no matter how small you go down in size are STILL somehow too big, bindings from 1987, and a board that is cap construction. Then I headed to the front desk of my hostel and spent almost $200 on a lift ticket. I gritted my teeth and tried to look at the big picture: snowboarding in New Zealand! I geared up and headed to the hill. When I got there I was blown away by the lack of lines and amazing facilities, but there was ssooooo much ice. This, at home, would be no problem seeing as I have a Gnu board with the Magne-Traction that cuts through ice like nobody's business. In Oregon ice is everywhere, but I have overcome it by riding my Gnu. It grips and holds turns in conditions that even the Titanic would go under in. Unfortunately for me this was NOT the board I had. I took 5 runs with no problems, but on my 6th run I took a turn on some of that dang ice stuff and my board flew out from under me. Don't worry; I caught myself, with the back of my head. After cleaning up my yard sale and taking a couple more runs with a headache, I retired to the lodge for some delicious Chai. If you want a board that will help you perform in adverse conditions I highly suggest the Gnu B-Nice with Magne-Traction to kill the threat of ice and Banana Action for floating through pow; it really is a very diverse board. It's great for an all-mountain rider, a park rat, and even a lady just starting to get her mountain legs under her. Gnu also makes all their boards in the U.S.A. So tell Jack Frost to get bent and ride a Gnu board, or bag it and hang out in the lodge, because New Zealand has the BEST Chai of any place I have been thus far.
