Product Info
On Mt. Weird (located somewhere in the PNW) it is not impossible to imagine that GNU builds insanely rad freeride boards through an environMENTALLY friendly process. In fact, they do it all the time. Take the GNU Eco Impossible ASS EC2 PBTX Snowboard, for example, which features the hottest ASS technology to date. Asymmetry's unique ergonomically-correct design syncs with your body's every move, to make your ride easier and more fluid than ever. Hidden beneath the Bio-Beans Polymer Topsheet is an FSC certified core that consists of Paulownia, Aspen, and Poplar - all sourced from sustainable tree farms. The core works in unison with the Magnesium fiberglass laminate to create a snappy and lightweight deck that provides a totally vibration-free ride. Just take a lap on the GNU Eco Impossible ASS EC2 PBTX Snowboard and find out for yourself that the possibilities are endless.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EC2 BTX – Made for easy riding, EC2 BTX places rocker between your feet combined with mellow elliptical cambers out to the contact points. This is the perfect rocker profile if you want to slay everything!
Flex
Flex Rating: 6 - 6.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – A medium-stiff flex is ideal for a wide variety of conditions, and riding styles from groomers to powder.
Shape
A.S.S. Twin – This board is asymmetric, yet still symmetric at the same time. It might sound a little odd, but it works with how your body moves. By having symmetry in the board's sidecut, wood core, contact points, and the tip/tail design it makes riding a lot more fluid and easy.
Core
Asym Eco-Unreal – A strong, powerful, and durable Aspen spine has playful and snappy Poplar on the toeside and regenerative, lightweight, vibration reducing Paulownia at the heelside edge.
Laminates
Liquid Crystal Polymer – Plastic as strong as titanium created through a tempering process that aligns molecules in hyper strengthed polymer chains.
Magnesium Fiberglass – This lamination technology is impossibly lightweight for its insane strength!
Sidewalls
UHMW Sidewalls – Ultra High Molecular Weight exterior sidewalls made from soy-based elastomer are laminated to five internal wood layers for totally bombproof sidewalls.
Base
Sintered Base – This base material was made through an environmentally-friendly process without the use of toxic solvents or curtain coats. Compression hardened amorphous UHMW creates the toughest, fastest best wax holding base material around. For best results, wax regularly.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Edges
Mini Magne-Traction® – A mellower serrated edge gives great edge hold with a bit more play in your turns.
Topsheet
Bio-Beans Topsheet – No toxic chemicals or coatings, just beans! Gnu has made a commitment to using new earth friendly, bio-plastic top skin made from beans that feature the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any topsheet in the industry.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Freeride
More
Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice. Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.
- Shape: Asymmetrical

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
