OVERVIEW
Something Gnu takes the inspiration of Mike Olsons early 80s’ finless designs and adds in all we have learned over the past 40 years of Gnu board building. Fine tuned progressive sidecuts provide forgiving turn entry and finlike hold in the tail allowing deep powerful trenched carving on hardpack and ice. A long smooth tip entry floats the pow effortlessly on those special days and the swallow tail and taper settles nicely adding even more control and float. A modern directional C2 contour works in harmony with tip and entry sidecut for easy turn entry and the tight shorter camber adds hold in the tail for radical resort power carving. “Drifty Snowboards aren’t delicious...business casual in the front power party in the back!
