GNU Snowboards 2011-2012

Inside Mervin Manufacturing’s umbrella lies GNU Snowboards, handbuilt in the US by snowboarders with jobs and designed for snowboarders who rip pow, parks and pipes.  Both the GNU women’s and men’s line-up is dialed with models that work for a variety of riders featuring a variety of technology from straight up BTX for the park rats to C2 for the freeriders, to EC2 for those wanting something more.

For 2012, there is a new board on the block with the impossible series featuring EC2 (only GNU board to have it), the riders choice gets an asym version and Forest Bailey gets his pro model with the Forest Bailey Psych Pickle.
