How Much flex does the 2009 GNU CHB have? - Snowboarding Forum

How flexy is the 2009 gnu chb? I was planning on making the chb in 150 my new jib board/all mountain freestyle board wit some park thrown in there. I was wondering if it could lock on rails and hold presses on boxes but still kill it outside of the park.

I had a 07-08, not sure if they changed much. It's more of an all mountain freestyle board, mid flex
so it can hang outside the park no prob

i just bought an 09 154 chb with banana and magnetraction only used it twice so far this year. unfortunately i haven't rode any park yet because it's kinda early season on the east. but i can tell you that i was bombing down blacks and i thought it was stable. it seems like it should be a decent park board.

150 is fine for you. You could go lower too. 147 or 148 is a really nice balance for you. More control for the park too. Stick with the 150 if you plan on doing more powder runs.

Here is a 150 Blem (explanation on site if you don't already know)
