This all mountain directional is a charger. The board has a freeride focused design with the adaptability to ride under any conditions. Having a directional nose allows for an easy float through powder, and reduces chatter while riding through chunder and ice. Being marginally wider than most boards reduces the chances of toe drag while linking turns on the groomers.

We recommend sizing down 2 cm when buying this board because GNU has shifted the volume, meaning that the board is shorter and wider than a traditional snowboard. The smaller the board, the more control you have, while still maintaining the same surface area as a traditional snowboard.

All in all, this was one of our favorite boards to ride this season. The playfulness of the rocker and camber installed in the board really showed when carving on the groomers, and pumping turns through powder. The board is durable, the price is right, and the fun is waiting to be had.

Turning edge to edge was easy and sustaining an edge hold while going fast felt easy. We recommend this board to anyone looking to float through powder, take the piste not taken and have fun on the groomers too.

This directional twin board kills it riding all conditions. Rocker helps with maneuverability and adds a surfy ride while seeking out powder at your local resort. While it floats through soft pack, it also holds an edge on hardpack due to Arbor’s System Rocker.

This kind of shape reduces the amount of rocker toward the tip and tail and makes it so that the outside contact point can hold an edge when needed.

This is a great board geared towards intermediate to advanced riders looking to advance their skills riding any type of terrain. Medium flex gives the board a playful and poppy feeling while the directionality of the board lets you charge any line in your sights.

The board was playful and took little work to engage a solid carve through the hard packed snow.

Carbon and Kevlar strips installed throughout the board increase resilience and make it more manageable to stomp big landings. It also gives you a sturdy edge when riding fast. Holding an edge on ice is one of the many things this board excels at, along with being an extremely durable board.

This is an overall great board for people looking to have fun on the groomers and find stashes of powder in the trees. It does well going fast and can carve easily, so it’s an ideal board for sunny groomer days and deep powder days. You will not be disappointed.
