Product Info
The GNU Banked Country snowboard is the ultimate resort shred stick for advanced rippers who love to score ridiculous amounts of pow, but rip everyday regardless of the conditions. Designed by legendary Billy Goater Temple Cummins and his son Cannon, this fantasy father-son project is a refined high performance ATV with one eye on float, the other eye on fly, and the third eye on more Baker Banked Slalom gold duct tape. A big floaty nose, a powerful responsive construction, directional camber set back 1.5", mild taper angle, a nice switch friendly tail and exclusive all NEW Directional Progressive Pro Magne-Traction®. The GNU Banked Country is what you want to ride and where you want to be. *Artist - Cannon Cummins @cannon_cummins

Directional Shape w/ 2mm Taper
Directional shape is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float in powder. A softer nose allows for a smoother roll into your carve, while a stiffer waist and tail provides better control through the turn and a stronger finish.
C3 Camber
Built with traditional contact points, C3 is the closest you'll get to real camber with the addition of rocker. The board bows up off the ground between the contacts points, but also has a mild amount of rocker between the feet. This allows for increased edge contact between the feet throughout your turn.
Skill Level
The intermediate+ to advanced rider who is looking for a quiver of one board that dig some trenches and rip everywhere, no matter how demanding the terrain.
Flex Rating
The Banked Country is closer to the stiffer side of the scale. Very capable and charges through every kind of terrain you throw at it. Stomp the cliffs, hit the big lines, and dig some trenches.
Progressive Pro Magne-Traction® Edges
Teeth in the tail! Combination of radial entry side-cut and strategically located edge serrations provide smooth entry and powerful “fin like” edge hold in the tail. Allowing you to lay down your edge confidently on the iciest days.
G lite 3 Core w/ Carbon
FSC Certified aspen wood core with even more paulownia stringers than the rest for increased pop and edge to edge response. Now with three wide Carbon Power Bands running tip to tail for added pop & response while extending the life of the board's performance.
Tri-Ax / Bi-Ax Glass
A combination of Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax glass allows for flex where you want it, but stability, strength, and pop when you need it.
