Are Gnu Snowboards good?Gnu is putting out quality boards. While some companies are putting out snowboards that have the topcoat crumble like cookies, you don't find that from Gnu. Just good old U.S. manufacturing. The edges are sharp, some bases could be a bit harder but overall they have years of knowledge put into their boards.
Is GNU made by Lib Tech?Mervin Manufacturing is an American snowboard manufacturer. Mervin is the parent company of Lib Technologies (aka Lib Tech), GNU Snowboards, Roxy Snowboards, and Bent Metal bindings.
What is new in snowboarding technology?The new rocker-camber technology will change the way snowboarders ride. The basic premise of this new tech is to use smaller, more lightweight boards that combine alternating points of flexibility and firmness to float over snow without the dreaded edge-catches.
Where are GNU bindings made?Handbuilt in the USA at Mervin Manufacturing ZERO HAZARDOUS WASTE since 1977.
