GNU Gloss Write Up Review by The Good Ride

This true twin would make for an affordable park board, or all mountain freestyle board. This medium flexing board is also good for icy conditions since it has GNU’s magna traction tech along the sidecut.

Flex

The Gloss comes with a medium flex that keeps it feeling somewhat playful but also gives it a bit of stability for all mountain riding and pop in the park.

Camber Profile

It comes with GNU’s C2e camber profile. Which is an easy to maneuver hybrid rocker profile. So you get a mellow rocker between the feet and somewhat mellow positive camber under the feet. The Gloss has a nice mix of being catch free and playful, while still giving you a bit of precision and control with the positive camber zones. But it is a pretty mellow ride overall.

If this Gnu Gloss review helped, we’d appreciate if you:
