GNU Carbon Credit Series - 2012

/images/brands/gnu/logo/gnu_logo.gif

The Carbon Credit Series’ heritage goes way back but the design is band up-to-date. Priced affordably the Carbon Credit has made a reputation for itself delivering freestyle performance and all-mountain versatility to beginners and intermediates. The Banana profile makes powder much easier than old camber designs and improves agility and playfulness in the park. If you spend most of your time cruising the groomers you’ll find the extra grip provided by the Magne-Traction edges a real highlight.

I’m fairly new to boarding…. Looking for a good board to learn and progress on…i need something that can hold up in east coast conditions…. Ice… Ahhhhh.. LOL… Is this a good choice? With union force bindings?

This is the best snowboard I have ever ridden.  I have been riding for 23 years and owned dozens of boards.  This board rocks.  I am riding the wide model because I have big feet, and for a wide board this is more responsive then a narrow board.  This board has re-invented the sport for me.  Mervin deserves an hugeass award for snowboard technological innovation.
