- ▼Product Description
The 2027 Gnu Velvet is a women's all-mountain freestyle snowboard built for riders who treat every part of the mountain — groomed runs, park laps, banked slaloms, and street sessions — as creative terrain, suiting intermediate to advanced riders looking for a versatile, playful ride. The hybrid C2 Contour profile combines camber snap with rocker relief to deliver a balance of pop and catch-free float, while Magne-Traction® edge technology keeps the board locked in and responsive on hard pack and variable snow. The Velvet's twin shape and medium flex (5) make it as comfortable throwing tricks in the park as it is charging through crud or holding a clean line on groomed runs. Gnu handbuilds the Velvet in Washington State using an FSC-certified aspen and paulownia core with eco sublimated plant-based graphics, giving riders performance they can feel good about environmentally as well as underfoot.
