GNU Upgrade C2 Snowboard 2026

The high-tech resort freestyle board from our lifetime shredder and loyal Mervin MFG board engineer for 30 years, “Hendo” Henderson.

Five years of prototype development and refinement went into optimizing and harmonizing nearly every possible geometric variable of this high-tech directional twin ATV.

"A powerful Directional C2X hybrid profile with a short rocker between the feet, tighter, poppy camber under the rear foot, and longer, floaty camber extending forward to the nose—combined with a gentle early rise... the ride feels remarkably close to a classic camber, but better... the perfect balance between playful and stable." – Hendo

What's inside?
Directional Triple-Serration Magne-Traction – concentrates control on the toes and between the feet, while the tip and tail remain simple, clean, and forgiving.

Directional Triple-Curve “On Demand” Sidecut – combines a medium entry, a gentle middle, and a deeper, aggressive tail sidecut.

Directional Core Profile – a reinforced nose for power, stability, and control in soft snow, and a softer tail for control, carving, and lift.

Setback stance – for perfect balance in hardpack freestyle and extra float in powder.

Micro-rolled nose at the contact points – for edge-free freestyle fun.

And as a special highlight: carbon fibers for extra pop and even more responsiveness.

Optimize your shred game with the benefits of cutting-edge technology... more is more... and you don't have to worry about a thing with this poppy Easy Rider board—Hendo has already done that for you!

For 30 years, our master crafter Hendo has been tinkering and refining the perfect snowboard, and this is his vision

Precisely balanced technology and contour, with all features in exactly the right place.

Magne-Traction

Magne-Traction is Lib Tech's patented edge technology. Seven strategically placed waves along the edge, between the tip and tail, provide incredible edge grip and optimal control, which unfold their full potential especially in icy conditions.

The principle behind this technology is comparable to a steak knife – the serrated edge cuts into snow and ice like a steak knife cuts into meat.

Turns ice into powder!

Magne-Traction technology also offers a decisive advantage for freestylers: thanks to improved edge grip, you can safely soften your edges to avoid edge catches on rails, takeoffs, and landings without having to accept a significant loss of edge grip and control on the rest of the mountain.

The colors on the underside of the board may vary!
