2026 GNU Gremlin C3 Snowboard
The 2026 GNU Gremlin C3 is a one-board quiver built for advanced riders who want to dominate every condition on the mountain. A floaty directional nose hunts powder while the powerful C3 camber profile drives hard through chop, hardpack, and ice. Magne-Traction® delivers unreal edge hold when things get firm, and the Sintered Knife-Cut base keeps it fast and durable when you're racing to the bottom. This mild volume-shifted design is meant to be ridden 2 cm shorter than your normal snowboard size for maximum agility and float.
Who is this board best for?
Advanced to expert riders looking for a powerful all-mountain freeride board that floats in powder, grips on ice, and charges hardpack with confidence.
