Back in 1999 the scientist skateboard nerds at Lib Tech became frustrated with 7 ply maple skate decks that lose their pop, get dead and break after a week of skating. With 31 years of composite experience, and a love of wood, the scientists set out to make the world a better place. The result was our world record setting vertically laminated wood/carbon composite construction. Now you have an option! Ride obsolete 7 ply decks or ride Lib Technology.

New Complicated Confusing Snowboard From Gnu Naturally Makes Snowboarding Easier And More Fun!
Seattle, WA (January 31, 2012) – In a special very early release coming out mid-February 2012, GNU re-evolutionizes snowboarding with the most technologically advanced snowboard ever, the new GNU Impossible Asym. Sym. Sync. Pickle. Balance through asymmetry is taken to the next level, with the Impossible’s new asymmetry for ducks then combined with Mervin Mfg’s latest and greatest technological innovations. Customized core construction, sidecuts and contact angles are designed to allow the body and board to synchronize into perfect harmony through nearly “imperceptible perfection.”
In addition to Asym Sym Sync, elliptical EC2 camber/banana with Magne-Traction underfoot creates a fun, all-mountain ride. Impossibly strong, ultra-lightweight magnesium fiber, rugged Bio Beans topsheet material, black and blue swirl sidewalls, lightweight Colombian Gold eco wood core and a sintered base combine are brought together in the Gnu Impossible for the most technologically advanced snowboard being built today.
Asym Sym Sync is designed with the body’s asymmetry front to back, but symmetry side-to-side in mind. Snowboard turn mechanics are completely different on your toe side than on your heel side. The Duck Asym of the Asym Sym Sync balances the amount of board contact behind and in front of your feet for stable, balanced pop and float.
On the heel side, a shorter contact length allows for turns and reactions with power that are taken at an inherently lower angle. A softer flexing core construction on the heel side allows the board to flex into a tighter arc at a lower angle. On the toe side, anatomically its possible to tip a board up into a very aggressive angle of attack. The Asym Sym Sync’s mellower toe side sidecuts and longer contact are designed to balance this asymmetry creating toe edge stability and a range of turning arcs that align perfectly with the heelside turns. A firmer flexing core on the toe side provides added stability and control necessary with finely tuned toe side turn mechanics.
Curious Science and Anatomical Facts:
Available in 155cm only, for mid-February 2012 very early season release. Full size run and greater availability fall 2012.

Seattle, WA (September 1, 2011) – Gnu introduces the special, early release of “Ladies Choice” a snowboard designed for and with full input from Jamie Anderson, the world’s most progressive female freestyle rider. Starting this fall in a limited edition run, Gnu shares the snowboard that helped Jamie to win virtually every major slopestyle competition last season. The Ladies Choice blends Jamie’s favorite shapes, flexes and geometries with many of Gnu’s award winning technologies including Magne-Traction, Pickle Tech and C2 Power Banana contours for a proven winning combination.
“It’s amazing! This board is designed for my riding style and everything I like to do,” Jamie says of the Gnu Ladies Choice. “It’s the best board I’ve ever ridden. I couldn’t be happier!”
No woman in the history of snowboarding has dominated slopestyle and freestyle snowboarding to the extent that Jamie has over the past five years. The snowboarders with jobs at Gnu were very excited to work with her to create the ultimate freestyle performance board.
“It’s been amazing to watch Jamie progress over the years and grow into the rider she is today,” says Barrett Christy, Brand Manager for Gnu Women’s. “She has such smooth style, total confidence, and she loves snowboarding. We worked together to blend her favorite shape, flex, and tech into this really fun freestyle board. I can’t wait to see what Jamie does next on her board!”
Jamie spent her summer at home in Tahoe enjoying California’s extended winter and making subtle refinements to the “Ladies Choice” before introducing it to the world. Then she put it to a final test at the New Zealand Open and came away with first place in slopestyle, her fifth title at the contest and the MINI Creative Use of Space award for her half-cab 5-0 to b/s 180. Looking to repeat a TTR World Tour championship for the third straight year, Jamie is leading the tour rankings following this summer’s win.
Technology included:
Pickle Tech: Balance through Asymmetry. Jamie knows there’s a huge difference between your turn mechanics on your toe-side and heel-side edges. Gnu’s Pickle Tech asymmetric sidecuts perfectly balance nature’s asymmetry.
Magne-Traction: Serrated edges give great edge hold, slide boxes and rails with ease and allow Jamie to set up for big park jumps with complete confidence.
C2 Banana Technology: Camber / Banana combination contour gives the best of both worlds. Camber at each end offers stability during big landings and takeoffs at speed, while banana goes between your feet for catch-free freestyle, unreal float in pow and great carving even on hard pack and ice.
Also features: Quasi Glass, AG 1 lightweight, poppy, farmed, sustainable wood core and a sintered base
