The Duel is the most butterable snowboard we make. A decade of design and refinement, and the 2027 is the most feature-packed one yet.
Three decisions do the work. The flex: soft enough to press deep into the nose or the tail, with enough return that the board holds you up instead of sending you over the handlebars. The Flat-to-Rocker profile: flat between your feet, rocker in the nose and tail, so it stays catch-free and loose. And the 3D Edge: the steel edge sits a hair above the snow for play and forgiveness edge to edge, and the moment you want it, a sharp edge is right there for a carve or a technical butter.
Underneath, it is built like every 2027 GILSON. Full-wrap sidewall, full-wrap steel edge, damping between the edge and the core, and exactly as much epoxy as the layup needs. A park and butter board first. The bonus is that it floats in powder like it was made for it.
For riders who want to play, press and progress, from first tricks to advanced. Not a beginner board, though it is the best board we make if you are one. Built in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. 5-year warranty. 2027 artwork by Taylor Harpster.
