GNU Something GNU Snowboard 2026

When yesterday’s tech meets tomorrow’s innovation, you get the GNU Something GNU Snowboard – a sidecut-pioneering heritage board that blends 40 years of evolution with Mike Olson’s groundbreaking ’80s designs. The progressive sidecut blends a forgiving tip shape with tenacious tail grip that carves trenches through hardpack and pow alike. A directional C2 profile keeps things business casual in the front and power party in the back—creating a historically-inspired future flash that dominates resort terrain of every flavor.

  Terrain

  Freeride
  Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction. Powder
  Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

  Ability Level

  Advanced-Expert
  Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

• Rocker Type:
  Roc/Cam/Roc/Cam/Roc

  Rocker Type

  Roc/Cam/Roc/Cam/Roc
  This is a blend of camber and rocker, for the best of both worlds: rocker overall, including between and outside your feet, enhances playfulness and float. Underneath the bindings there are camber zones for focused edge-control for added pop and power through turns.

  Flex Rating

  Stiff
  The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboardflex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand.Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
