Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for freestyle and all mountain riding. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The GNU Gloss is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $429.99 vs $549.99 MSRP, the GNU Gloss is the more budget-friendly option.
