SHOP DECRIPTION
The Danny Kass board is a great board for that rider that wants the hole park, hitting big jumps and stomping the crap out of em' , ripping the pipe in half, and jibbing rails, boxes, trees, and anything else that's in you path. This board is you kill it park board, the flex is a little on the stiffer side but has a great feel when you're pressing it out. stability, power, and control is exactly what this boards about. One of the best park boards you can ride!

SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION
Construction Standards and Oddities.
Every Gnu is handmade by snowboarders with jobs in the USA. Gnus are built with tough and fast UHMW external sidewalls and impact resistant end grain internal sidewalls. Ultra-light weight rugged “polymer bumper” sandwich tip and tails are standard on all Gnus. Steel edges are used for control along the contact area and “tucked-in” just past the contacts for minimum spin weight… heavy unnecessary steel edge is eliminated from the tips and tails. Banana Tech, EC2, or C2 BTX Camber/Banana Tech combo and Magne-Traction serrated edges are far from standard but are standard on every Gnu snowboard.
TRUE TWIN SHAPE
Twin (equal length and equal width) tip and tails combined with a centered radial sidecut. Rides equally well in both directions with a focus on freestyle. Park, powder, pipe: perfect..
SNITERED 9900 ALLOY BASE
Continuous compression formed for molecular elongation, preserving its amorphous polymer structure, for maximum wax absorption and durability. Tough and fast.
QUASI GLASS
4 way fiber orientation 0/45/45/90. Triaxial and biaxial glass combo for max pop and control. Vectran liquid crystal polymer was developed as the fiber foundation for inter-planetary Mars lander tires and has 10 times the strength of titanium.
EISS 9 UHMW SIDEWALLS
Tough UHMW sidewalls on the exterior laminated to 9 layers of endgrain birch on the inside. Bombproof and gives the board massive pop. good on rails. ULTRA LIGHT SPIN WEIGHT!
BIO-POLYMER
GNU has made a commitment to using a new earth friendly, bio-plastic top skin made from beans that feature the highest strenth-to-weight ratio of any top sheet in the industry. Whale there is clearly still the need to invade small, helpless, oil producing contries for power and money, this new age of bio-plastics offers hope of a more peaceful and fruity future!
AG2 SUSTAINABLE WOODCORE
MERVIN AG2 SUSTAINABLE WOODCORE: ASPEN / ALT. GENETICS / EISS 9 - Lighter / Stronger. A perfect combination of Aspen, even more ultra lightweight genetically altered wood core and EISS 9. Perfect for freestyle domination. Wood Core Weirdness! In 2008 the world’s fastest growing trees in Gnu’s Altered Genetic forest produced an exceptional harvest of long fibered light weight poppy wood that we call “nature’s fiberglass.” This select crop has been carefully seasoned and built into cores and is the light poppy center of many of our favorite 2011 Gnu snowboards. Got any fungus?.
