Description

Snowboard Essential Service

The Essential Service snowboard is a sustainably manufactured versatile freeride model from Gnu. Its construction relies on aspen/paulownia wood, reinforced by glass fibre, providing both power and lightness. The classic camber and somewhat firm flex of the Essential Service offer great high-speed stability and good pop, no matter the terrain. The edges benefit from the Magne Traction technology, to optimise edge hold on groomers and rebound out of turns. If you prefer to trace beautiful lines in pow rather than groomed runs, the directional shape and setback stance will help you lift quickly and float naturally on top of fresh snow.

Tips and advice

Size of your board?

The length of your board is extremely important. Several parameters have to be taken into account : Your height, your weight, your level and your program (allmountain-freeride-freestyle). We created a calculator that will tell you what size of board would suit you best, once you've completed these parameters. You can also call us (+33 4 73 26 98 47) to get a personal advice from our experienced team.

Is my board ready-to-use ?

The snowboards you'll purchase on our website are all factory waxed and tuned. That means it's ready to hit the slopes. However, that doesn't work forever, and in order to keep your equipment at the top performance, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

How to maintain your equipment ?

Maintaining your skis is essential to ensure an optimal glide and grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your board, or on how damaged it is. We recommend that you wax it every 10 riding days, and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't get them overtuned because every tuning takes some of the steel off.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge tuners, etc. You can find them on our website.
