Below is a quick overview of the 2019 GNU snowboards that GNU will be introducing for the 2018-19 snowboard season, separated into categories.
A lot of GNUs mainstays return for the 2019 models plus there are some new models and a couple that say goodbye.
New Boards
The new boards in the line for 2018-19 are:
- GNU T2B Asym (all-mountain freestyle) – but this is essentially the Gnuru with a new name and a new core
- GNU Spasym Asym (directional asym freeride – comes in a goofy specific and regular specific option, courtesy of being both directional and asym)
Those That Bow Out
GNU aren’t going to be producing the following in 2019 models, which were available in 2018 models:
- GNU Swallow Tail Carver (which was new in 2018 so was only around 1 season)
- GNU Hard Candy
- GNU Metal Gnuru – replaced by the T2B which is essentially this board with a new name and an upgrade core
