Gnu Finest 148 2023 Snowboard
THE FINEST GNU EVER!
Good, better, best - The Gnu Finest by Max Warbington is almost self-explanatory. With the asymmetric freestyle / all-mountain board from Max Warbington, you can push your limits in the park. However, it also offers excellent lift in deep powder to stomp your freestyle moves in the backcountry with ease.
Riding style
All-mountain/freestyle for advanced riders. You want to have fun all over the mountain? This board does it all, from kickers and rails in the park to deep powder in the backcountry.
Shape
The True Twin shape is perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that's equally versatile when ridden forward or switch. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential. The asymmetrical sidecut has a smaller radius on the heel side and a larger one on the toe side. This makes turns on the heel side easier and also more controllable.
Profile
The C2x profile comes with a short rocker between the bindings, with a large camber underneath the bindings. This combination offers a good edge hold thanks to the camber areas, as well as good lift and unlimited freestyle action without catching an edge.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast board response.
Construction
The G2 Lite construction is an environmentally friendly and very lightweight construction design from Gnu. The G2 Asym core is asymmetrically constructed and made of aspen and paulownia wood. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet is sustainably produced. The sintered base is very fast and stays that way if you take care of it.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
