      The GNU Facts is a typical representative of the Banana shape and the most affordable entry to the Mervin factory. "Most affordable" here does not mean a cheap board for the market - the Facts is above the average level of the whole market, with a very good base, a reasonable flex and Magne-Traction.

      The BTX / Banana hybrid profile has rocker between the feet that you can see with the naked eye, with camber zones toward the nose and tail. This is the most reflexive and easiest turning that Skate Banana makes: you shift weight from heels to toes and ride the same day. The board does not catch an edge, floats in soft snow, and the carving is soft and predictable.

      The shape is a directional twin with 0.75" setback - it rides both ways, but has a slight preferred direction. Magne-Traction holds on ice and packed snow, and the base is fast and does not need constant maintenance.

      According to Doychin, with a board like this a person can learn to ride in about three hours, and the more talented even faster. With reasonable bindings and good boots, this setup lasts the next five or six years - on the piste, off it, on ice and in deep snow. It is not a learner board you swap after a season.

      Technical highlights: directional twin; BTX / Banana hybrid; 0.75" setback; Magne-Traction; flex around 4-7 depending on size; freestyle / all-mountain / park; easy to control; a beginner board you do not outgrow quickly.

      Size is not chosen by length alone. Weight, surface area, waist width, profile and effective edge length together decide how a board performs. The table shows the lower weight limit that Mervin gives for each size. A shorter board turns faster and is more playful, a longer one gives more stability and float. The waist should match the boot: at about 24-25 cm, boots are usually up to size 42-43 (EU), at 25-26 cm up to 44-45, and the W versions are for bigger feet so that toes and heel do not drag when carving.

      Not sure which size? Message us or stop by our shop in Golo Bardo, Sofia - we have been riding this stuff since 1997.
