Upgrade 2026
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This board has the perfect balance—playful enough for freestyle but stable enough to charge steeps. It’s one of those decks you can ride all season without feeling like you’re missing out on anything."The Gnu Upgrade Snowboard is a pro model directional twin designed to be the ultimate resort and all-mountain freestyle board. With years of design refinement packed into its construction, it blends precise control, powerful response, and catch-free playfulness into one versatile ride. Its C2X hybrid profile features short rocker between the feet for easy turn initiation, camber under the back foot for pop and stability, and a longer camber extending into the nose for float in soft snow. Directional triple serration Magne-Traction edges enhance edge hold exactly where you need it, while the carbon fiber reinforcement boosts energy transfer for lively performance. From groomers to side hits and powder stashes, the Upgrade is built to handle it all without compromise.
