2024 GNU Essential Snowboard
2024 GNU Essential Snowboard
The 2024 GNU Essential Service Snowboard is a no brainer for all mountain riders on the hunt for powder stashes around the resort. The C2 Hybrid profile blends rocker and camber so you can rip everything from fresh cord to deep pow, while Magne-Traction serrated edges allow you to slice your line like a medium-rare filet mignon no matter how firm the snow. To top things off, a portion of all proceeds goes directly to @theserviceboard to mentor kids and create awesome outdoor experiences, much like the ones you'll get from this awesome snowboard.
