This is the 153cm Free Spirit, GNU’s freestyle and park board, in the women’s fit. Mervin lists it with: Directional C3 camber profile: Provides power, stability, and responsive edge control, with float in powder and control on hardpack; Slightly volume-shifted directional shape: Allows riding a shorter board length for maneuverability and freestyle spirit in big mountain and powder terrain; Carbon Power Bands construction: Adds radical response and pop for aggressive riding and big landings.
Length is the first thing to get right on a snowboard – it is matched to rider weight and boot size, not to height alone, and a board cut at 153cm rides differently from the same model two sizes up. Mervin also notes: G Lite 3 FSC Aspen and Paulownia core: Delivers a lightweight, strong, and poppy ride with durability. Check the size chart against your own weight before ordering.
Lib Tech and GNU are both Mervin Manufacturing brands. Mervin has been building snowboards since the 1970s and runs a zero-hazardous-waste production process it has made central to how it operates.
