2027 GNU Turbo Gremlin C3 Snowboard
The 2027 GNU Turbo Gremlin C3 is a high-powered evolution of the original Gremlin, now tuned for even more speed, response, and all-mountain destruction. Its narrower outline, floaty directional nose, and mild volume-shifted shape make it easy to slash deep snow and carve clean lines, while the lighter, stronger G Lite 3 wood core boosts agility without sacrificing stability. Carbon Power Bands and a triax/biax laminate bring explosive pop and precision, and the aggressive C3 camber profile locks in edge hold for riders who charge fast and hard from first chair to last. The Turbo Gremlin is designed to be ridden in your normal snowboard size—do not size down like with previous Gremlin models.
Who is this board best for?
Aggressive all-mountain and freeride riders who want dominant camber control, powerful carving performance, and a floaty directional shape for deep days and high-speed lines.

Shape
- Directional – A float-oriented nose and tapered geometry make deep snow riding smooth, fast, and surfy.
- Mild Volume Shift – Slightly wider in the key zones for float and stability, but unlike previous Gremlin models, the Turbo Gremlin is intended to be ridden in your normal snowboard size.
Sidecut
- Magne-Traction® – Seven strategically placed serrations create powerful edge hold, turning icy or firm snow into more predictable riding terrain.
Core
