The Scorp is a cambered park twin built around pop, speed, and control, with a feel that stays sharp no matter how hard you push it. It’s quick edge to edge, loads up with real tension through the centre of the board, and releases cleanly off the lip. Ideal for park laps and side hits, but with enough drive to keep the board feeling composed when you open it up elsewhere on the hill.
True twin geometry keeps things balanced switch, while GNU’s C3 camber profile gives the board a powerful, spring-loaded feel underfoot with solid edge hold when you put it on angle. A lightweight poplar and paulownia core is paired with UHMW tip and tail sections to pull swing weight down, making spins come around faster without sacrificing stability on takeoff or landing. The glass layup keeps it responsive without feeling twitchy, and the extruded base is built to take daily park abuse with minimal maintenance.

About The Brand
GNU is one of the original innovators in snowboard design, with roots going back to the late 1970s. Still built in the United States by Mervin Manufacturing, GNU has spent decades challenging established ideas around how snowboards should be shaped, constructed, and ridden. Many of the design concepts that underpin modern snowboarding trace back to GNU’s early experimentation with sidecuts, camber theory, and edge technology, making the brand a foundational part of the sport’s technical evolution.
Alongside its technical legacy, GNU has always placed strong emphasis on creativity, rider expression, and responsible manufacturing. The brand works closely with artists for its graphics, supports a progressive and influential team of riders, and remains committed to environmentally conscious production practices. GNU’s identity is defined by independence, curiosity, and a long-standing dedication to snowboarding as both a craft and a culture.
