Gnu Head Space 2021

The 2021 Gnu Head Space is as popular as ever, satisfying the need for a mid flexing cambered board that can ride all terrain but stand out in the park. Designed (and decorated) by pro rider Forest Bailey, the Head Space is a board that can carve the groomers in the morning and head to the park in the afternoon for some fun laps or serious progression sessions. Featuring an asymmetrical construction, Magne-Traction edges, and the Gnu take on positive camber, the Head Space will hold a solid edge and carve like crazy, while still being soft and playful when you want it to be. This is a jib-focused all-terrain board that boosts progression, in and out of the park.

Rider Level: Intermediate – Advanced

Board Type: Park

Camber Type: C3

Very mild rocker between your feet with powerful camber to the tip and tail. This is Mervins version of traditional camber, offering maximum edge hold, pop, power, and precision with extra float and carve.

Flex: 5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)

Shape: Asym Twin

Identical tip to tail for controlled riding in regular or switch, with an asymmetric construction from toe to heel. Our bodies aren’t the same front to back, so why should our boards be? Asymmetrical boards are built with a shorter sidecut on the heel edge and a different core construction from toe to heel, resulting in more precise carves on your toes, and easier and more powerful turns on your heels. This board is a level 1 on the asym scale, featuring an asymmetrical sidecut and core.

Core: Asym Unreal G1 ECO

A light, environmentally nice, and smooth core. Combines Aspen and Paulownia woods with Triax and Biax alloy glass for a strong, light, and poppy board.

Base: Eco Sublimated Sintered

Strong, fast, holds wax well, and environmentally friendly. Glide over flat spots and wet spring snow with less drag and more speed.

Mounting Pattern: 2×4 inserts

Additional Features:

Eco Sublimated Poly Top – This topsheet is made using an eco-friendly sublimation process.

UHMW Sidewalls – Tough and fast sidewalls.

Magnetraction – 7 strategically placed serrations along the edges of the board grip onto the snow and hold a strong edge in any condition.
