Quick Rider Snapshot
Skill Level: Intermediate–Expert
Riding Style: Freeride / Powder / Trees
Camber Profile: C3 Camber
Flex: 6.5–7/10
Personality: Powerful & Surfy
The 2027 GNU Gremlin is proof that you don't need a long snowboard to ride big terrain. This volume-shifted freeride favorite packs the float of a much larger board into a shorter, wider platform that's incredibly quick edge-to-edge. Whether you're carving icy groomers, weaving through tight trees, or surfing powder, the Gremlin delivers powerful performance with a playful personality that keeps riders coming back season after season.
Built around GNU's C3 Camber, a tapered directional shape, and legendary Magne-Traction®, the Gremlin thrives in challenging conditions. The directional nose floats effortlessly in soft snow while the camber profile and serrated edges inspire confidence on hardpack and ice. Its wide platform eliminates toe drag and creates exceptional stability without sacrificing maneuverability, allowing riders to size down from their normal board length while maintaining plenty of surface area.
The Gremlin has earned a loyal following because it simply makes freeriding more fun. It carves like a much longer board, floats surprisingly well on powder days, and remains agile enough to weave through technical terrain with ease. If you're looking for one board that can handle nearly every condition the mountain throws at you, the Gremlin deserves a serious look.
Who Is This Board Best For?
Intermediate to expert riders
Freeride and all-mountain riders
Riders who enjoy carving and powder equally
Snowboarders looking for a volume-shifted board

Personality
The Volume-Shifted Freeride Favorite
A short, wide charger built to carve hard, float effortlessly, and make every powder stash and tree run feel even better.
Shop Recommendation
Riders considering the Gremlin should also look at:
GNU Antigravity for a more traditional all-mountain freeride ride.
Lib Tech Dynamo for a directional charger with a narrower feel.
Nitro Alternator for another premium camber-driven freeride option.
Rome Viper for riders who want a directional twin with more freestyle versatility.
The Gremlin has become one of GNU's most beloved freeride boards because it challenges traditional sizing. By combining a shorter length with extra width, it creates a board that's incredibly maneuverable in trees, surprisingly playful across the resort, and exceptionally capable on powder days. If you enjoy carving, exploring technical terrain, and hunting fresh snow, the Gremlin is hard to beat.
