GNU Upgrade Snowboard

The Upgrade is a highly refined directional-twin freestyle board built for resort terrain. Its directional C2X contour combines a short central rocker, a tighter camber zone under the back foot, longer camber toward the nose, and mild early rise. Directional pressure mapping, a triple-curve sidecut, and carbon reinforcement create a precise balance of playfulness, stability, float, and pop.

Directional C2X Contour
Short rocker between the feet, tighter rear-foot camber, longer forward camber, and mild early rise produce a near-camber ride with added float and forgiveness.
Directional Triple-Curve Sidecut
Medium entry, a mild middle, and a deeper tail radius combine smooth turn initiation with aggressive finish and control.
Triple-Serration Magne-Traction®
Directional serrations focus control at the toes and between the feet while leaving the tips and tails cleaner and more catch-free.
Mapped Core & Carbon Response
A stiffened nose and softer tail tune float, carving, and control; Carbon Power Bands add pop to the light G Lite 2 core.
Freestyle-Focused Details
A setback stance, micro-rolled nose contact, easy-entry nose geometry, and a tighter directional tail curve support resort freestyle performance.

Base Cleaning & Waxing
Clean the base as needed and wax it regularly with a snowboard-appropriate wax matched to conditions. The sintered base absorbs and holds wax; scrape and brush after waxing, and have deep gouges or base separation repaired by a qualified shop.
Magne-Traction® Edge Care
Dry the edges after riding and inspect for rust, burrs, cracks, or impact damage. Remove light rust and small burrs with an appropriate diamond stone; avoid aggressive filing and leave major repairs to a snowboard technician. Preserve the directional triple-curve sidecut and factory serration pattern.
Topsheet, Sidewalls & Inserts
Inspect the topsheet, UHMW sidewalls, tips, tails, and binding-insert areas for delamination, cracks, or water intrusion. Repair damage promptly and keep binding mounts and inserts clear of debris.
Bindings & Stance
Check mounting screws before riding and tighten them evenly without over-torquing. Use compatible hardware and follow the 0.75 in / 1.9 cm setback and length-specific stance ranges as setup references rather than forcing an unsuitable stance.
Drying & Storage
Wipe the board dry after each session and let it air-dry at room temperature away from heaters and prolonged sunlight. Store it clean and dry in a cool, ventilated place without heavy loads on the contour; apply a storage wax for the off-season and remove it before riding.
