Product Info

Dug up from Mike Olson's 80s quiver, you may recognize the GNU Retro Swallow Tail Carver C2X Snowboard from GNU's past, or from its 2016 Mt. Baker Banked Slalom victory. That being said, this bad boy has been properly revamped with 21st century tech to make it so much more than a nostalgia piece -- Magne-Traction® edges, industry leading eco-friendly construction and a triple density core propel the Swallow Tail Carver into the future of snowboard design. Experience first hand why there truly is no school like the old school and mount up your favorite binders on the GNU Retro Swallow Tail Carver C2X Snowboard.
