Hand-built in the USA at Mervin Manufacturing’s Washington facility, the GNU GT (Grand Touring) Snowboard is a classic piece of late-1990s and early-2000s snowboarding history. Built for all-mountain freeriders who wanted speed, precision, and stability on hardpack and deep snow alike, the GT series embodied GNU’s commitment to rider-driven design, bold retro graphics, and eco-conscious manufacturing.

Designed with a balanced directional outline and a damp, powerful flex, the GT allowed riders to charge steep lines, carve turns on resort groomers, and float through backcountry powder. As a staple from the era of Mervin’s early wood-core innovations, it remains a celebrated piece for vintage collectors and snowboarding purists.

⚠️ Collector / Retro Vault Note: As an archival vintage model from GNU, the GT board features classic 4×4 insert geometries.

Patents & Technology

The GNU GT brought together Mervin’s signature hand-laminated construction and progressive sidecut geometry.

• Hand-Crafted Full Wood Core: Built with sustainably harvested wood laminates that absorb harsh mountain chatter and deliver lively spring pop out of turns.

• Directional All-Mountain Geometry: Features a subtly elongated nose and setback stance to generate effortless float in powder while maintaining solid tail support.

• Traditional Full Camber Profile: Full-length camber engagement from contact point to contact point provides maximum edge bite, powerful turn initiation, and rock-solid stability at speed.

• Heavy-Duty Biaxial / Triaxial Glass Layup: Reinforced with multi-angle fiberglass weaves that enhance torsional stiffness and structural integrity.

• High-Speed Sintered Base: Engineered with a porous, wax-absorbent base material for low friction and sustained glide across cold winter snowpack.
