The GNU WAGYU snowboard is a unisex board designed for intermediate to advanced riders looking to improve their skills both in the park and off-piste. Its C3 Hybrid Camber profile, with a predominantly aggressive camber, delivers explosive pop and precision handling rarely found on such a versatile board. Combined with the seven-tooth Magne-Traction Serrated Steak Knife edge technology, it maintains reliable edge grip even on hard or icy snow. The WAGYU is designed for those who want a single board to explore all available terrain.

A directional twin profile for all-mountain freestyle

The GNU WAGYU’s Directional Twin shape strikes a balance between the symmetry needed for freestyle and a slight 12.5 mm stance setback that improves performance in powder and off-piste. This geometry lets you tackle the park with the responsiveness of a twin, while maintaining a more direct feel when the terrain gets more challenging. The medium-to-stiff flex, rated between 7 and 8 out of 10, supports riders looking to plant their feet firmly without sacrificing maneuverability during tricks. The 8-meter radius rounds out this profile by facilitating precise and progressive turn initiation.

A core and materials designed for durability and performance

The G-Lite 2 core, made from FSC-certified Aspen and Paulownia, combines lightness with structural rigidity to withstand the repeated stresses of freestyle riding. Carbon power strips enhance energy transfer between the feet and the edges, while the combination of Tri-Axial and Bi-Axial fiberglass fibers fine-tunes flex control across different areas of the board. The UHMW polyethylene sidewalls absorb lateral impacts and protect the structure during collisions with modules or rocks. The Eco-Sublimated Knife-Cut Co-Ex base rounds out the package by providing a wear-resistant glide surface.

Manufacturing Committed to Environmental Sustainability

The GNU WAGYU is handcrafted at the Mervin MFG eco-factory, based in the United States, using a production process that generates no hazardous waste. The wood used for the core is FSC-certified, ensuring responsible forest management. The 2x4 inserts ensure broad compatibility with most bindings available on the market. The graphics, designed by Jadyn Chomlack, give this board a distinct visual identity that aligns with the freestyle world in which it thrives.
