Upgrade

Product Information

This isn't just another board; the Gnu Upgrade is the culmination of 30 years of Mervin action hero craftsman Jeff "Hendo" Henderson's expertise, designed to be that "one board to rule them all." After five years of prototyping, this high-tech resort freestyle stick harmonizes every geometry variable for a ride that’s both playful and incredibly stable. It’s built for riders who want to elevate their game across all terrains.

The Upgrade features Gnu's powerful C2X hybrid contour, blending a shortened rocker between the feet with extended camber zones for unparalleled stability, float, and precision. Its directional twin shape offers freestyle versatility with directional stability, while Magne-Traction® provides reliable edge hold in any condition. Carbon Pop Enhancement ensures lively response for a dynamic ride.
