GNU Velvet Snowboard 2025
GNU Velvet Snowboard Basics
The Velvet is the choice of Gnu team riders who approach the whole mountain like their park. It’s snappy flex and hybrid C2 contour work in synergy for pop and stability. While the asymmetrical geometry and Magne-Traction® edges make it both catch-free and responsive.
The Velvet is constructed with an Aspen and Paulownia wood core, which is lightweight yet strong, and it also features Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax fiberglass for a medium flex with plenty of pop. Its C2 contour is perfectly balanced for all-terrain riding, with mild rocker between the feet and powerful camber towards the tips and tails.
