2021 GNU Snowboards Overview | Snowboarding Profiles

Below is a quick overview of the 2021 GNU snowboards lineup.

First I will take a look at any new boards for the 2020-21 season, and any old 2019-20 boards that aren't getting a 2021 model.

Then I'll look at each board and put them into the categories that I see them belonging to.

New 2021 GNU Snowboards

The new boards for 2020-21 are:

GNU RC C3 - New C3 Camber version of the Rider's Choice
GNU T2B Directional - By name it sounds like the old T2B from 2020 and 2019, but it's a very different board - the T2B 2020 model was an asym twin - the T2B directional has a tapered directional shape, basically the opposite kind of shape. The T2B directional has a C3 Camber vs the C2 on the old T2B. And there isn't really anything similar about the other specs either. Similar sidecut and looks to be the same or similar core. The rest is all pretty different though - so not just a name change.
GNU Fun Guy - New short/wide directional model (though I think there was a late release with a 2020 model).
GNU Gremlin - New short/wide directional model
GNU Gorp - New splitboard. First time I've seen GNU with a splitboard, so a nice addition to the lineup
GNU Barrett - New women's pro model from Barrett Christy. Directional freeride C3 Camber

Exiting 2020 GNU Snowboards

The 2020 boards that aren't returning with a 2021 model:

GNU T2B By name being replaced by the T2B Directional, but not very similar - see above for more details
GNU B Pro - Quite surprising to see this long standing model drop out of the lineup.

All 2021 GNU Snowboards by Category

I have categorized GNU's 2020-21 collection below. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and not necessarily the same as how GNU labels them.

Of course these are only broad categories as every board is different, but this is a rough guide.
