GNU Dirty Pillow - 2012

The GNU Dirty Pillow is a uniquely shaped snowboard designed to help big mountain freestylers take their tricks to the backcountry. It has a twin shape and a moderate flex which isn’t exactly what you’d expect from a freeride board. The trick is in the kicks’ uplift and the Dirty Pillow’s geometry which have been designed to maximise float and increase stability at speed. The base of the Dirty Pillow is perfect for showing-off with a tweaked-out method with bottomless powder beneath. Not an out-and-out freeride pedigree but perfect for those riders aspiring to turn natural features into a terrain park like Nico Muller, Jake Blauvelt and Mark Landvik.
