This is going to be a quick overview of all the 2020 GNU snowboards.
First I will highlight any new boards for the 2019-20 season, and any old 2019 boards that are dropping out.
Then I'll take a look at each board and put them into the categories where I see them fitting.

Summary
So there you have the 2020 GNU snowboards.
One shift in the GNU line is the move to a more camber (C3 camber) dominant line. This is the trend for a few snowboard brands at the moment.
Although this is actually more subtle than it looks. Even though 4 of the new boards to come in are C3 camber, 3 of those to drop out were also C3 camber. So there is only essentially a difference of 1. A slightly higher ratio of C3 camber.
Are any GNU boards on your radar? Any of the new offerings? Feel free to leave a comment or question in the comments section below.
