The 2022 Gnu Velvet is the intuitive, easy riding weapon of choice for riders of all abilities who want to progress to pro level stardom. Labelled as the women's quiver killer, this board approaches the entire mountain like its own personal playground. The snappy flex mixed with the perfect hybrid C2 camber gives you a poppy and playful snowboard that is not too aggressive without sacrificing stability and control. Featuring an intuitive asym design and patented Magnetraction, you can experience catch-free response that is comfortable in any conditions. Perfectly balanced in the park as well as in banked slaloms, the Velvet looks, feels and rides all terrain with effortless elegance.
Rider Level: Intermediate
Board Type: All Mountain Freestyle
Camber Type: C2
Mild rocker between your feet with powerful camber to the tip and tail gives you power and pop on groomers and in the park along with float and freedom to charge through powder. Carves the resort, plays in the park, and slays powder.
Flex: 5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Shape: Asym Twin
Identical tip to tail for controlled riding in regular or switch, with an asymmetric construction from toe to heel. Our bodies aren't the same front to back, so why should our boards be? Asymmetrical boards are built with a shorter sidecut on the heel edge and a different core construction from toe to heel, resulting in more precise carves on your toes, and easier and more powerful turns on your heels. This board is a level 1 on the asym scale, featuring an asymmetrical sidecut and core.
Core: Asym Unreal G1 ECO
A light, environmentally nice, and smooth core. Combines Aspen and Paulownia woods with Triax and Biax alloy glass for a strong, light, and poppy board.
Base: Eco-Sublimated Co-Ex
A fast, tough, and easy to maintain base.
Mounting Pattern: 2x4 inserts
Additional Features:
Eco Sublimated Poly Top - This topsheet is made using an eco-friendly sublimation process.
UHMW Sidewalls - Tough, fast, and environmentally friendly sidewalls.
Magnetraction - 7 strategically placed serrations along the edges of the board grip onto the snow and hold a strong edge in any condition.
