Intermediate
Strength:
Nice edges, great flex, very strong board. I broke my ankle riding this beast and I don't think it even noticed.
Weakness:
The front and back lip are a tough plastic that is relatively easy to mar or damage on some surfaces. The board is wide for great control, but somewhat heavy because of it. Beautiful board. That's why I picked it over the similar ones I was considering. It's a great all around board for intermediate to advanced boarding. If you specialize in parks or speed, this board may not suit you though. Similar Products Used: Numerous cheap rental boards - this is the first board I've owned. Naturally it's far superior. |

Advanced
Strength:
Flexible yet durable, sweet graphics, holes for bindingas are perfectly set on board. good core, base it very scratch resistant with the right wax.
Weakness:
No edes on base tip and tail of board...that is the only thinkg i think gnu should work on cuz none of there boards have tip and tail edges and the edges start to peel away and chip when there isnt an edge! This board is an all around good all mountain freestyle board. it will take on the pipe, park and the backcountry kickers! Similar Products Used: -Burton Custom -Salomon Driver -Burton Powers |

Strength:
light responsive flex, but not too stiff high quality
Weakness:
none This board is definitly the best board i've ever ridden. It is strong in every terrain: powder, park and on the slopes. You can even carve to your limit. I love it, it's a great board to ride the hole mountain.

Strength:
None This board is sick (163). The graphics are insane, it holds well at any speed, you can ride over anything, and its nuts for riding pipe. Similar Products Used: NONE |

Strength:
None Sweet rig (163) I ran the lib tech pacifier last year and that thing was a piece of cardboard. Delamed in no time. Air core and extruded base are weak unless you ride park/pipe/groomer exclusively or weigh 140. Go with the solid gnu core and beefier sintered base if you ride the whole mountain. Excellent high speed stability without sacrificing low speed manueverability. Pacifier is sketchier at high speeds, ie. more sidecut. Perfect all around board for my size 11 boot. Customer Service huh? Similar Products Used: lib tech pacifier, burton floater |

Strength:
None This board is THE BOMB!!!!!!!I just love this board. Its wicked for park and pipe, but its also good for all mountain riding. The graphics are sick! i''d like to give GNU compliements on it.The board''s Correct Cap makes the board very light and responsive with a good edge hold on icy pipe walls and it''s sinthered 9900 makes it super fast so its good for launching you out of the pipe walls or off a kicker.
