Gnu Women's Velvet Snowboard 2024

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. It features intuitive asym geometry, and Magne-Traction®, so it is catch-free and responsive. The eco sublimated plant-based graphics give this ride a down to earth vibe. The Velvet is comfortable in any conditions and as balanced in the park as it is in banked slaloms or street sessions. Design conceptualized by Naima Antolin and designed by Hannah Eddy.

Profile: C2 (Multi Camber)

Carves the resort, plays in the park and slays the powder. Lib worked with Travis Rice to develop this perfectly balanced all terrain contour. Mild rocker between your feet combined with powerful cambers to the tips and tails. Enough power, pop, and precision to hit the biggest wedges. Enough float and freedom to rip the gnarliest AK lines.

        

Shape: Asymmetrical-Twin

Asymmetrical boards offer an additional dimension to snowboard design. With a designated toe and heel edge, asymmetrical boards truly realize that your foot is definitely *not symmetrical*. The toe edge is generally slightly longer with a shallower, less aggressive sidecut and the heel edge is generally slightly shorter with a deeper, more reactive sidecut. This is all designed to minimize rider fatigue, while maximizing performance through easier, more natural feeling heelside turns for better response, better carving and more fun!

Flex: 4 - 6 (Scale 1 - 10)

Medium flex. Versatility at its finest. From the park to the peak and anywhere in between.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
