Description
School’s out, and the mountain is in session with the GNU Recess Package Snowboard, available now at Salty Peaks Snowboard Shop in Salt Lake City! Designed specifically for young riders, this award-winning board makes learning and progressing feel intuitive, fun, and completely catch-free. It’s the ultimate setup to turn your grom into a resort ripper, ready for everything from playful park laps to cruising the mellow runs at Solitude or Brighton.
The Recess features GNU’s signature Original Banana (BTX) Contour. This mild rocker between the feet combined with mild cambers towards the tips and tails creates an incredibly easy-to-turn, forgiving, and floaty ride. It reduces edge catches, making linking turns a breeze for beginners, while still providing ample pop and float for more advanced young shredders.
A key to the Recess’s progression-enhancing design is its ASYM Level 1 (Asymmetrical Twin Shape). Recognizing that heelside and toeside turns are fundamentally different, this board features a deeper sidecut on the heelside. This thoughtful asymmetry makes turning more natural, intuitive, and powerful, helping young riders balance and progress their carving skills faster.
For superior edge hold in varied Utah conditions, the Recess is equipped with Magne-Traction®. These seven strategically located and sized edge serrations act like a serrated knife, providing unreal grip on hardpack and icy patches, boosting confidence when conditions are firm.
Built with a soft flex, the Recess is highly maneuverable and forgiving, allowing smaller bodies to easily control the board for learning new tricks, buttering, and general all-mountain play. The G Lite 1 FCS Certified Aspen + Paulownia Core ensures a lightweight yet durable construction, while Triaxial/Biaxial Fiberglass provides the perfect blend of strength and pop.
As with all GNU snowboards, the Recess is Handcrafted in the USA at Mervin Manufacturing with zero hazardous waste, emphasizing an eco-conscious approach without compromising on performance. The Eco Sublimated Co-Ex Base is fast, tough, and easy to maintain, keeping your grom gliding smoothly.
The GNU Recess Package Snowboard is more than just a board; it’s a launchpad for radical progression and endless fun on the snow. Get ready to watch them excel at Salty Peaks!
