GNU Upgrade C2E vs Ride Kink

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. The GNU Upgrade C2E uses a directional twin shape while the Ride Kink is twin. The GNU Upgrade C2E has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Ride Kink uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The GNU Upgrade C2E is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
