The Wagyu is a directional twin on a smooth C3 camber profile, which keeps most of the board cambered for drive and snap rather than trading it away for forgiveness. Carbon power bands run through a Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax fiberglass layup, and that combination is what produces the snap on takeoff and the stability on landing.
The G Lite 2 core is FSC Aspen and Paulownia, light enough to swing but strong enough for repeated hard landings. At 158cm with an eco-sublimated sintered Co-Ex base, it suits a rider spending the day between the park and the rest of the mountain rather than committing to one.
Mervin Manufacturing builds Lib Tech and GNU boards in Sequim, Washington, on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and is one of the last snowboard makers that never moved production offshore. The factory runs on a zero-hazardous-waste process the company has built its identity around.
