Essential

Product Information

The Gnu Essential Snowboard is your go-to board for hitting everything the resort offers. It’s an easy-riding resort ripper, equally at home carving groomers, blasting through powder stashes, or tackling park features. Designed with a long-lasting, poppy, and eco-friendly construction, it's also built with a portion of proceeds supporting @theserviceboard's mission to mentor teens through outdoor adventure.

This board delivers a versatile, carvy, floaty, and catch-free experience, ideal for the rider who wants one board to do it all with confidence and a responsive feel.
