Gnu Riders Choice 2025

The 2025 Gnu Riders Choice is truely a board for snowboarders by snowboarders. It is a top freestyle, all-mountain board, expertly crafted over the years by the Gnu team for optimum performance. This year they have added 3D Delightwood Asym Chips under the inserts to effectively distribute energy to the edges of your board to elevate pop, power, and response. Ideal for shredding parks, carving groomers, and slashing the occasional pow, the Riders Choice is possibly the most well rounded and best snowboard in the Gnu lineup. Its G3 Lite + Carbon construction, Level 2 Asym, and C2x All Terrain Contour make it a lively, light, and poppy board that's still easy to ride, thanks to all the tech Mervin puts into their boards. Built by riders for riders, the Riders Choice will give you newfound confidence to tackle any terrain with ease.

Rider Level: Intermediate - Advanced

Board Type: All Mountain Freestyle

Camber Type: C2x

Shortened rocker between your feet with lengthened camber to the tip and tail gives you power and pop on groomers and in the park along with float and freedom to charge through powder. More loaded pressure in the tip and tail than regular C2 for a more aggressive and stable ride.

Flex: 6/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)

Shape: Asym Twin

Identical tip to tail for controlled riding in regular or switch, with an asymmetric construction from toe to heel. Our bodies aren't the same front to back, so why should our boards be? Asymmetrical boards are built with a shorter sidecut on the heel edge and a different core construction from toe to heel, resulting in more precise carves on your toes, and easier and more powerful turns on your heels. This board features an asymmetrical sidecut, core, and contact points.

Core: Asym Unreal G2

The lightest, strongest, and most poppy construction GNU makes. Combines Aspen and Paulownia woods with Triax and Biax alloy glass and carbon power bands to add pop, response and extend the performance life of your board.

Asym Sidecut: Deeper sidecut on heel side for increased power

Asym Contact: Asymmetric contact angles, longer toe side contact for more precise control and shorter heel side contact for more power.

Base: Sintered

Fast and rugged with maximum wax retention.

Mounting Pattern: 2x4 inserts

Additional Features:

Eco Sublimated Poly Top - This topsheet is made using an eco-friendly sublimation process.

UHMW Sidewalls - Tough, fast, and environmentally friendly sidewalls.
