The GNU Facts Banana Wide snowboard is a versatile freestyle board designed for riding on the slopes, in the snowpark, and off-piste. The Twin shape combines the symmetrical characteristics of a freestyle board with a design optimized for confident riding in a variety of snow conditions. The BTX profile with a pronounced rocker contributes to playful handling, easier turn initiation, and smooth riding with less risk of accidental edge catch.
