The 2023 Gnu Riders Choice is the ultimate freestyle, all-mountain board in the entire Gnu lineup that has been designed and finely tweaked by the entire Gnu team to ensure you get the best board possible. Designed to thrash the park, carve groomers, and slash pow stashes, the Riders Choice is quite possibly the best snowboard Gnu has ever made. With its G3 Lite + Carbon Construction, Level 2 Asym, and C2x All Terrain Contour, you not only get a lively, light, poppy board, but you get an easier to use ride that still performs with the best of them, thanks to all the other tech that Mervin Manufacturing puts across their board lineups. Built as a board for riders, by riders, the Riders Choice will change your perspective on how you approach any terrain you come across and allow you to find your newfound confidence to tackle it with ease.

Rider Level: Intermediate - Advanced
Board Type: All Mountain Freestyle
Camber Type: C2x
Shortened rocker between your feet with lengthened camber to the tip and tail gives you power and pop on groomers and in the park along with float and freedom to charge through powder. More loaded pressure in the tip and tail than regular C2 for a more aggressive and stable ride.
Flex: 6/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Shape: Asym Twin
Identical tip to tail for controlled riding in regular or switch, with an asymmetric construction from toe to heel. Our bodies aren't the same front to back, so why should our boards be? Asymmetrical boards are built with a shorter sidecut on the heel edge and a different core construction from toe to heel, resulting in more precise carves on your toes, and easier and more powerful turns on your heels. This board features an asymmetrical sidecut, core, and contact points.
Core: Asym Unreal G2
The lightest, strongest, and most poppy construction GNU makes. Combines Aspen and Paulownia woods with Triax and Biax alloy glass and carbon power bands to add pop, response and extend the performance life of your board.
Asym Sidecut: Deeper sidecut on heel side for increased power
Asym Contact: Asymmetric contact angles, longer toe side contact for more precise control and shorter heel side contact for more power.
Base: Sintered
Fast and rugged with maximum wax retention.
Mounting Pattern: 2x4 inserts
Additional Features:
Eco Sublimated Poly Top - This topsheet is made using an eco-friendly sublimation process.
UHMW Sidewalls - Tough, fast, and environmentally friendly sidewalls.
Magnetraction - 7 strategically placed serrations along the edges of the board grip onto the snow and hold a strong edge in any condition.
