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.
