Gnu Essential Service 155 2023 Snowboard

ALL-TERRAIN GNU POWER FOR BACKCOUNTRY RIDING AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

The Gnu Essential Service is designed for the perfect powder session and long days at the resort. Whether you're shredding a perfect pillow line, making long carves on the slopes or doing some park runs, the Essential lets you unleash your freestyle skills all over the mountain. 

Part of the proceeds from this model will be donated to theserviceboard.org. This is an organisation dedicated to helping socially disadvantaged teenagers to meet personal and cultural challenges through outdoor adventure, environmental and social justice education and public service.

Riding style
The Essential Service is aimed at the intermediate and advanced rider who enjoys the powder and the whole mountain and is looking forward to a new riding experience. 

Shape
The Directional Twin Shape is perfect for all-mountain with a touch of freestyle. The shape is symmetrical, but the bindings are slightly offset to the rear to give you more float in powder. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential.

Profile
The C2 profile is a classic camber profile with a subtle rocker between the bindings. This provides precise edge control from nose to tail and maximum stability for high airs and landings. The rocker makes the board a bit more playful and offers more uplift than conventional camber profiles.

Flex
The medium flex ensures precise control and fast responsiveness of the board, but remains playful enough to bust out freestyle moves. 

Construction
The G Lite 2 construction is environmentally friendly, robust and a lightweight construction design from Gnu. The core of aspen and paulownia wood is very light, sustainable, robust and poppy. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The topsheet is made from eco-sublimated organic beans. The sintered base is very fast and stays that way if you take care of it.

Os snowboards são normalmente entregues prontos a utilizar, com cera na base e cantos ajustados. No entanto, isto é chamado de tuning de fábrica, com durabilidade menor. O teu snowboard deve ser encerado apropriadamente após alguns dias, e feita a manutenção regularmente.
