Dominate every inch of the mountain while supporting a great cause with the 2024 Gnu Essential Service Snowboard. Designed with artwork by pro rider Forest Bailey and handcrafted in the USA by Mervin Manufacturing, this versatile directional twin resort charger is built to slice through fresh groomers, blast through powder stashes, and lap the park. Even better, a portion of the proceeds from every Essential Service board sold goes directly to @theserviceboard, an organization dedicated to mentoring youth through outdoor adventure and social justice.

The Essential Service features Gnu’s most versatile C2 Hybrid Contour Profile, placing a rocker section between your feet for effortless turn initiation and float in deep snow, paired with powerful camber zones underfoot for pop, precision, and high-speed stability. To eliminate slipping on firm snow and ice, Mervin’s signature Magne-Traction® serrated edges provide seven strategic contact points along each sidecut, locking your edge into hardpack with effortless control and confidence.

Under the hood, the board utilizes a lightweight, snappy G Lite 2 Eco Core made from sustainably harvested Aspen and Paulownia woods. Wrapped in a combination of Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax fiberglass for dynamic energy return and dampness, the board retains a medium-to-stiff flex that absorbs chatter at speed without feeling overly punishing. Finished with an ultra-fast, durable Sintered Base and tough UHMW sidewalls, the 2024 Gnu Essential Service stands as a true one-board quiver for all-mountain riders.
