GNU Upgrade Snowboard - Winter 2026/2027

Lifetime shredder and 30 year Mervin craftsmen Jeff “Hendo” Henderson’s high tech resort freestyle stick. 6 years of prototyping and refinement went into blending, optimizing and harmonizing almost every geometry variable possible. Built around a Directional Twin Hybrid shape and GNU’s powerful C2X contour, the Upgrade blends precision carving, freestyle versatility, and effortless powder float into one highly refined package. A longer float-oriented nose, mild early rise, and directional setback work together to improve soft snow performance, while directional Magne-Traction® focuses edge control where it matters most. Finished with Carbon Power Bands, an upgraded carbon-enhanced sintered base, and lightweight G Lite 2 construction, the Upgrade delivers premium all-terrain performance with a distinctly freestyle personality.
