Gnu Velvet

An all-mountain twin that lets you take your collection of tricks anywhere on the mountain, the GNU Asym Velvet C2 Snowboard starts with an Aspen and Paulownia core and adds Mervin’s proven combination of Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax fiberglass to get just the right flex with a ton of pop. As with all Gnu boards the Velvet gets Magna-Traction edges for precision on the groomed plus beautiful art by Hannah Eddy.
