Near Canada, USA (August 22, 2013) – Gnu has calculated the physics for moving forward while standing sideways and applied this science through the space time continuum to bring you their 2013 / 2014 line-up. These wild, weird, and magical high tech formulas for snowboard propulsion on the variable planes have been taken from their theoretical forms in lab of Dr. Weird to their physical forms in Gnu’s snowboard factory--- hand built in the USA by weirdos with jobs. Gnu’s award winning snowboards with the newest technologies including C3, XC2, and A.S.S. Pickle contours, Easy Rider Bindings, and Weirdwear are now available at retail stores and online gnu.com!
For 2013 / 2014
Forrest Bailey gets weirder by adding the proven the power of A.S.S. to his Space Case pro model!! The
Space Case A.S.S. PBTX incorporates Gnu’s A.S.S. Pickle Technology, asymmetrical, symmetrical, synchronization to balance the front and back asymmetrical build of the human body. Go left, go right!
This year American Weirdo
Danny Kass has taken his Olympic medal winning
Pro Model to the Xth dimension where he found the perfect balance of camber and Banana, with new XC2 BTX! A tight radius rocker between the feet combined with lengthened cambers running out the tip and tail gives aggressive riders increased control while retaining the catch free characteristics of Gnu’s original award winning Banana geometry! Now with Gnu’s new Liquid Crystal Polymer to smooth out the taco chatter!!
Gnu is proud to add to the
Beast to the 2013 / 2014 snowboard line-up, four time Mount Baker Banked Slalom champ Temple Cummins’ new directional destroyer. Featuring a longer nose to keep the tip up in deep snow and C3 BTX to hold solid when the throttle is wide open, the Beast will become an instant favorite of those looking to not be seen. Temple’s signature
Billy Goat now also features new C3 BTX technology!! Snowboard camber the way it always should have been designed, the worlds best camber snowboard is a Banana!
Keeping tabs on the Beast, X Games Champ

Beauty featuring a longer nose profile to keep the tip up in powder and variable conditions, and C3 BTX contours for high speed, aggressive maneuvering. Barrett’s award winning
B-Pro is now also available with new C3 BTX technology, as well as the award winning C2 BTX contour.
