This is the quintessential one quiver board for someone that is looking to up their skills this season. The larger nose helps to float through powder, while the cambered body will help hold an edge no matter the speed or aggressiveness of your turns.
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.
