In detail

PROFILE

  • C3 Camber
    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.
  • Thin Tip and Tails
    A thinner tip and tail, which results in a lower swing rate and less weight in your board.

CORE

  • Splitboard Construction
    Splitboard Construction is made for going into the backcountry. This core had to be light and strong. The core consists of: 95% Paulownia and 5% Aspen. Two layers of tri-ax fiberglass with a basalt webbing provide the torsional stiffness and cushioning when you're not in hip-deep powder. A core you can rely on on the way down in varying terrain, but also light enough for touring.

REINFORCEMENTS

  • Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax Glass
    GNU combines tri-axial and bi-axial fiberglass to give the board a strong, poppy and responsive ride. The bi-axial glass keeps the flex smooth and manageable, while the tri-axial glass adds power, precision and edge-to-edge response. Together they create a construction that feels active without becoming nervous.

TOPSHEET

  • Eco Sublimated Poly Top
    GNU’s Eco Sublimated Poly Top is a strong polyester topsheet made in the Mervin factory. The sublimated graphic process keeps the artwork clean and durable, while the material itself is built to handle regular mountain use. It gives the board a tough, clean finish with a more environmentally considered construction.

BASE

  • Sintered Knife-Cut Base
    GNU’s Sintered Knife-Cut Base is built for speed, durability and strong wax absorption. The sintered structure holds wax well, helping the board stay fast when properly maintained. It is a tough, high-performance base for riders who push hard and want reliable glide across changing snow conditions.

SIDEWALL & EDGES

  • UHMW Sidewall
    UHMW is used in the sidewalls, tips and tails to create a tough and fast construction around the board’s edges. This durable material helps protect the core from impact while keeping the board strong through heavy use. It adds the kind of reliable edge-zone strength you want when riding hard across the whole mountain.

SPLITBOARD TECH

  • Karakoram Ultra Clips 1.0
    The Ultra Clips 1.0 remain some of the strongest and lowest profile clips in the industry. They are adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
