Fiction Snowboard + Ultra Binding + Kinsley BOA Boot 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I put this setup together for a rider working on building confidence across the whole mountain, and it was the right call. The Fiction's forgiving rocker makes turn initiation easy, and the Magne-Traction edges keep things honest on hard snow. The Ultra bindings absorbed chatter on rougher runs without feeling mushy, and the Kinsley BOA boots were quick to dial in and comfortable all day long."The Fiction Snowboard + Ultra Binding + Kinsley BOA Boot is the setup for riders who are still figuring out what kind of snowboarder they want to be, and having a great time doing it. The GNU Fiction is built around a directional twin shape and Original Banana hybrid rocker that makes every turn feel more natural than the last. Rocker between the feet keeps the nose floating and reduces the chance of catching an edge, while mild camber underfoot adds enough pop and stability to start pushing into new terrain. Magne-Traction edges with seven contact points grip when conditions firm up, and the FSC-certified G Lite 1 core keeps the whole thing light enough to ride all day without wearing out. GNU builds every Fiction by hand in Washington State, and that care shows up in the way it rides. The Union Ultra bindings bring a suspension-inspired baseplate into the equation, letting the board flex naturally while absorbing the vibrations and hard landings that come with a day of exploration. At 6/10 flex, they offer enough support for committed turns without stiffening up the playful character the Fiction was designed around. The K2 Kinsley BOA boots finish the package with a dual BOA lacing system that adjusts precisely on the chairlift, an Intuition Control Foam 3D thermo-moldable liner that shapes to the foot for a custom fit, and a Harshmellow footbed that cushions every landing. This is a complete, confidence-building setup ready to grow with you.
