The 2024 Gnu Essential Service makes its return as your one stop shop when it comes to am all-mountain board with a directional twin shape, making it one of the most versatile board shapes on the mountain. Designed to be a one board quiver killer, the Essential Service can do it all thanks to its perfect all-terrain C2 contour, mid stiff flex and slightly setback stance, anything you throw at this board it can handle; whether its crisp morning groomers, steep and deep pow stashes, or any feature in the terrain park. A portion of sales from the Essential Service goes towards 'The Service Board', a youth-led organisation that are on a mission to mentor teens to conquer personal and cultural challenges through positive public service and outdoor adventure, like snowboarding!
