What about powder, we hear you ask? Well, the rocker section of the profile makes this float better than your average twin board, so you can venture into the deep without working too hard. If you’re more of a speed freak in the pow, then this probably isn’t what you’re looking for. If, on the other hand, you like to trick off every natural feature in sight, then the Gnu Riders Choice is definitely a board worth considering.

Tech-wise, there’s a lot of clever stuff at play. The combination of biax and triax fibreglass walks the line between jibby and responsive, while the sintered base fairly whips you along too. The topsheet is made from beans, giving it eco cred that doesn’t compromise performance, and the sidewalls are made from recycled material.

Even in a world where specialist shapes are all the rage, the biggest market is still for the all-rounders that can turn their hand to any terrain. The Gnu Riders Choice certainly fits into that category, so seek this one out if you’re looking for a one-board quiver.

Anxious to skip town and get into the mountains? Screw the shred buds, no time to check the weather, just gotta go?! When that happens, grab the board that takes the place of your entire quiver!

The Asymmetric ATV C2 Riders Choice is the dream board for any condition. It’s got the perfect contours for bold park prowess, Magne-Traction makes it a groomer delight, and you get built-in anatomical intuition with asymmetric advanced geometries. The choice is clear.
