Features
C3 Camber Rocker Profile - Engineered for high performance, Mervin's C3 profile utilizes mild rocker between your feet with powerful camber sections towards the tip and tail. This provides maximum edge hold and stability at high speeds while maintaining unmatched float and precision for expressive freestyle riding in powder and across the whole mountain.
Control / Precision / Power
Magne-Traction Serrated Edges - Strategically placed bumps that create added contact points along each edge for increased grip and control in all conditions.
G LITE 3 Core - FSC Certified Aspen + Paulownia Core Lightest, Stronger And Most Poppy
Bi-Axial Glass - 2-way fiber orientation. Engineered to make the difficult easy.
Tri-Axial Glass - 3-way fiber orientation. Engineered to make the difficult even easier.
Eco-Sub Poly Topsheet - This Polyester topsheet is tough, sheds snow and adds traction.
Sintered Knife Cut - Aptly named, this base is designed for speed, speed, and more speed. Sintered bases hold wax really well, but to get the most out of your speed machine, we recommend you setup your own waxing ritual to ensure you make fast, sharp, lines down the mountain every time.
1 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 1 year from the time of purchase. Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear expected from aggressive riding.
Handbuilt in the USA - Every Gnu snowboard is handmade by snowboarders with jobs in the USA.
Mervin Made: EcoUNREAL Manufacturing - Core materials are sources from fast-growing, renewable forest products. Water-based solvents used for cleansing instead of petrochemical-based solvents. All wood sawdust is recycled as a soil additive, plus scrap wood is donated to a local Mood Wood company that packages it as kindling and resells it.
