Gnu Velvet (2026) - Description

The Gnu team’s choice for freestyle progression all over the mountain

The Gnu Velvet is your go-to companion for limitless fun on the mountain. Whether it’s pop, float, or precise carving turns, this versatile board delivers impressive performance with effortless elegance in any terrain. Its intuitive geometry reduces fatigue, allowing you to make the most of every day on the slopes.

Riding style All-mountain/freestyle board for advanced riders. Do you want to enjoy the mountain to the fullest? This board excels, from park kickers and rails to deep powder in the backcountry.

Shape The True Twin shape is perfectly symmetrical, offering the same performance whether riding forward or switch. The Magne-Traction® technology offers enhanced edge hold through serrated edges. Particularly on icy slopes, they reveal their full potential.

Profile The C2 profile features a rocker between the bindings and a camber underneath. This combination provides excellent edge hold due to the camber areas, good lift and limitless freestyle action without the risk of catching an edge, thanks to the rocker.

Flex The medium flex is ideal for this board’s all-mountain design. It is stiff enough for powerful turns but still soft to keep a playful feel.

Construction The G Lite 2 construction by Gnu represents an eco-friendly and durable design. The aspen and paulownia wood core balances lightness, sustainability, strength, and pop. Wrapped in bi- and triaxial fibreglass, this construction ensures the necessary stiffness and longevity. The **Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet **is sustainably produced, while the sintered base delivers high speed—and stays fast with proper maintenance.

Why should one buy from refurbed?

At refurbed, we offer you a more sustainable alternative to conventional sports goods. All sports goods listed on our platform are either refurbished or newly made from recycled materials.

What does "refurbished" mean?

These are products that are either used or can no longer be sold as new. Each item undergoes a refurbishment and quality control process to ensure it meets the high quality you can expect from refurbed. By giving these items a second life, we can both reduce waste and offer more affordable sports equipment.

How is “refurbished” classified?

We want to offer affordable and environmentally conscious sports equipment without compromising on quality.

Excellent: Minor, not immediately visible optical defects.
Very good: Minor, visible optical defects.
Good: Visible optical defects.

What does "recycled" mean?

In line with our circular thinking, refurbed Sports offers not only refurbished products, but also new sports equipment made from recycled materials.

By reusing existing materials, we minimise waste, consume fewer resources, and contribute to a better environment.

How does refurbed guarantee the quality of the products?

Only professional and certified refurbishers are allowed to offer their products on refurbed.

You will receive a free return label from the refurbisher by email or in your customer account.

What are my warranty conditions?

We offer you a 12-month statutory warranty. This covers all defects, i.e. everything that is considered poor workmanship of the product and was not caused by your own actions.

Which environmental protection projects do we invest in?

We have planted over 6.6 million trees since our foundin, and we are very proud! We realised that planting trees alone does not tackle all of the environmental issues we a passionate about, however. That's why we now also support projects that
- restore landscapes — ecosystems are repaired and jobs are created, including tree planting along the way
- remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it permanently
- recycle electronic waste and reuse materials
