Gnu Women’s Velvet Snowboard 2022 Gnu

---

Profile: Hybrid Camber

Terrain: Park/Resort/Pow

Response: Medium Responsive

---

The Velvet is the choice of Gnu team riders who approach the whole mountain like their park. It’s snappy flex and 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 textured poly top is durable, sheds snow and gives the eco-sublimated graphics by Hannah Eddy 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. Plant-Based graphic conceptualized by Naima Antolin and designed by Hannah Eddy.

Profile:

Hybrid Camber

The perfect rocker/camber hybrid. Shortened rocker between inserts and camber underfoot with rockered tip/tail for control/precision/float.

Central rocker builds in carve, edge hold, and float. Cambers builds in stability and control. Full contact and control in all conditions.

Shape:

Twin

A completely symmetrical shape, which thrives in a variety of freestyle situations. At the core of its design, the twin shape features an identical nose and tail shape, which provides an identical feel and predictable maneuverability whether riding regular or switch. Although originally developed with park riders in mind, twin shapes have also grown to be embraced by many all-mountain riders that like to bring a skateboard style riding out of the park and onto the entire mountain.

Asymmetrical

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!
