In short

The Gnu Head Space is the Forest Bailey pro model. This board was designed to perform anywhere, but to dominate the park. This asymetrical twin has a medium flex for diversity in the park and on the slopes, with an aggressive C3 camber that provides enough stability. The board is designed by and after Forest Bailey. So if you are a fan of his style, this is your go-to board!

In detail

PROFILE

  • C3Camber
    C3 is the most aggressive shape from the Mervin factory. Still a rocker between the feet but with a lot more emphasis on the camber under the bindings. This gives you a board that rides more aggressively, is more precise and has more pop and still manages to create some float.

  • Asymmetry
    Anatomically speaking, you are better able to balance on your toes than on your heels. This has to do with the way you bend your knees. Since this makes it more difficult to exert good pressure on a whole side turn, Gnu has made boards with an asymmetrical design. The sidecut is shorter on the heel side and the core has been constructed differently. That means heel- and toe-side turns with almost the same precision and strength.


CORE

  • G2 Asym Eco Core
    This is a light, asymmetrical variant of the Eco core. The distribution of the wood has been modified in the core, with extra use of Paulownia wood on the heel side to give it a more natural feel. The core consists of aspen and Paulownia wood, which is strong, poppy and light. The Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax fibreglass keeps the weight low and makes the board responsive and precise. All Gnu cores are Mervin Made, meaning they are environmentally friendly.


REINFORCEMENTS

  • Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax
    A layer of Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax fibreglass is added to the Gnu boards. This triaxial/biaxial reinforcement ensures extra responsiveness and a more active snowboard in all types of terrain.


TOPSHEET

  • Eco Sublimated Poly Top
    Strong polyester topsheet made in the Mervin factory. Eco-friendly, with a beautiful design.


BASE

  • Sintered Knife Cut Base
    This is Gnu's sintered base. This base is fast, durable and absorbent. Like other sintered bases, the wax absorbs quickly and improves the glide.


SIDEWALL & EDGES

  • UHMW Sidewall
    A fast and strong sidewall that can handle some heavy-duty work.

  • Magne-Traction
    Magne-traction is a wavy-edged snowboard. Just like a serrated knife that cuts through bread, Magne-Traction cuts through the snow. Gnu uses seven tactically placed waves in the steel edge, which results in a lot of grip in icy and tough conditions.
