GNU Velvet Guru EC2BTX Snowboard - Blem - Women's 2013

The GNU Velvet Guru EC2BTX Snowboard is GNU’s first women’s board with elliptical camber in the tip and tail, which rides halfway between Banana Tech and the less subtly cambered C2 boards. This quiver-killing shape is buttery-smooth in all snow conditions and features a jungle animal graphic scheme by Christina “Pika” Burtner. Note: This is a factory blem board and may have slight cosmetic damage.
Rocker Type
EC2 Banana Technology (EC2 BTX) - EC2 rides halfway between Banana Tech and C2. Rocker between the feet, elliptical camber at the tip and tail: It effortlessly floats the pow, kills the jibs, and has the pop and tip-to-tail stability to stomp whatever you launch.
Flex
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) - 4
Medium flex handles everything from corduroy, powder, to big mountain obstacles. It's built for riders who enjoy plentiful response but still need a forgiving board for progressing skills.
Shape
True Twin - Twin (equal length and equal width) tip and tails combined with a centered radial sidecut rides equally well in both directions with a focus on freestyle. Park, powder, pipe: perfect.
Core
A.5 Sustainable Woodcore - Full Aspen with EISS 5 edge pop / strength
Laminates
Bi-Axial Glass - 2 way fiber orientation is engineered to make the difficult easy.
Base
Sintered 9900 Alloy - Continuous compression formed for molecular elongation, preserving its amorphous polymer structure, for maximum wax absorption, and durability: It's tough and fast.
Edges
Magne-Traction™ - This gives better edge hold and makes for an easier ride. Serrated edges cut into the snow like a knife giving you more edge hold and control than ever before. Magne-Traction™ features 7 strategically located and sized bumps along each side of your sidecut.
Graphics
Stay current with your jungle animals by looking at this smooth Christina "Pika" Burtner graphic.
Additional Features
Note - This is a factory blem board and may have slight cosmetic damage.

Comments about GNU Velvet Guru EC2BTX Snowboard - Blem - Women's 2013:

I really like this board! It arrived within days and I didn't notice any blemishes. I am used to a super stiff camber (2006ish salomon ivy) and the velvet guru has a totally different feel. Really fun to ride and I can butter and Ollie on this board and have taken it to the park for small jumps. I did notice it was washy when I am strapping in and going slow, but that is the trade off for banana. the magnetraction was awesome on steep runs, making it a good all mountain board. I rode in powder last weekend and it felt great. A little slow in slush but what isn't? Bottom line: I did a ton of research on rocker and hybrid boards and transitioning from camber to reverse, and decided on this board for the value and its versatility. The ride was what I expected (trade off of stability for surfy fun) and I am very happy with my purchase. I will definitely keep riding a full camber when I want to keep up with my buds on skis though.
