Best customer service I’ve ever dealt with. Would highly recommend buying a board from gilson. Even as an intermediate level snowboarder this board performs perfectly, and is not hard to adjust to the raised edge.

The guys at Gilson literally got everything back up and running for a custom Fly powder deck and rushed shipping just to get it to me right before a 5ft storm! Board reminds me of surfing growing up in SoCal, super surfy and honestly one of the most fun boards I’ve ever ridden! I got onto my first Gilson from a recommendation from a friend after ripping the rail out of a Burton board. Gilson’s are so durable and fun to ride it’s stupid! My Duel is on its 4th 100 day + season and it’s still going strong! As a guy that rides a lot and has been on a ton of different equipment I can stand behind the fact that I always end up on a Gilson deck for a reason! These boards are the best I’ve found!

These guys are the best! Customer service is just top notch! They help in every way they can! I’ve had my dual for 2 season now and just absolutely love it! It’s so playful. I havnt had many boards. But I will by far always buy Gilson! The small business aspect is amazing! And I love the grind! I’d love to be apart of the team 😏

Been riding my duel for almost 3 years. Great board. Had a issue with it delaminating, but I called up gilson to ask about the 5 year warranty. They took care of it right away. No issues at all. They take care of there customers.

The people here are absolutely amazing to work with. I purchased a custom board and it was everything I expected and more. Working with A.J. really helped me in designing the perfect custom board. Not only does it look like nothing else, it rides like BUTTER! Thank you to the whole crew at Gilson. You guys are awesome!

This team is amazing. Their customer service is perfect, literally what ever company should strive for. They communicate in a timely manner, they're personable, and knowledge. I've made the switch to Gilson being the only board I'll ride and I'll never look back. The quality is there and riding is believing!!!!

Gilson is the best! I wanted a snowboard for my husband but unfortunately it was sold out when I went to order. However, after a email, Nick at Gilson told me it was no problem to make another, gave me a discount, AND personalized it! The Gilson team is so amazing. They responded to emails within hours and were so helpful with getting the right size as it was a surprise. After you order they give you a link to see the progress they are making on your board too. Step by step from laying the print to the final wax and inspection and showed what team member worked on it. The board itself is beautiful and my husband loved breaking it in! It road just like it described on the cite and is awesome to hang on the wall when not in use! I cannot thank this company enough and can’t wait to get my next board from them too!

Love my Gilson board… It’s been two seasons on my Gilson and I couldn’t be more impressed on the progress I have made with my ground tricks and park ability. The board truly is as forgiving and playful as advertised and is what sold me on it plus that pop is CRAZY!!

We have 2 Gilson snowboards. One for each of our teenagers. The younger one learned on a Gilson board and found it very easy to pick up compared to other brands she had rented in the beginning. Our older child got theirs when they were already an advanced snowboarder. They like how easy the board is to maneuver on the slopes in all terrain, including the parks. The boards look great too!

Love my all mountain board and super flexy park board. Great customer service. Summer snow day is a blast to be around the Gilson crew and learn/see what’s new in the snowboarding/ski game.

These buttery boards are made for groomer days. Lately, deep pow seems to be hard to find. My Gilson Duel has got me excited about snowboarding again. Also, as a 46 year old guy, I can't take the hits from hard crashes anymore. Learning the way of butter is much easier on the body than these 20-30 foot kickers every seems to like nowadays. It's like shifting from wakeboarding to wakesurfing. Similar sport but a whole due skill set that you can work on and challenge yourself with. Also, it's a gorgeous board. Pair it with softer boots and medium stiffness bindings and you'll have a great time.

I am a Deaf Snowboard Rider. I’ve been snowboarding for the past 28 years, but had not been in 15 years until I got back into the sport in 2023. I went out to Pennsylvania in 2021 to go to community college for the summer. I fell in love with the state. When I came back to Phoenix, I knew I wanted to get back into snowboarding again, and not miss out anymore. I decided I was ready to get myself a new set of gear! I couldn’t figure out which board to get myself. I went on Google without any plan, and not knowing what I was looking for. I spontaneously typed in “Pennsylvania Ma & Pa Snowboard Shop”. Gilson popped up as a sponsored page. I was doing my own research to see which board would be the one I wanted to ride. As a 5’10” 220lbs and size 12 feet, I need a wide board similar to K2 Fat Bob model. Gilson offers a similar board called, “the Duel”. So I purchased my first real board with Gilson and I was stoked to see that Gilson has a live page with update notifications on the customer’s board progress. I was impressed to see which stage my board was in. This was all few days before the fire happened... Gilson had a big fire which burned their factory down, and I was nervous to know whether my board had survived or not. I need to know whether I would be getting my board in time to go shredding or not. I had already purchased my full gear, AirBnB and lift ticket, and I wanted to be sure I would be getting my board in time to go shredding. I sent emails asking for updates and reminding Gilson that I understood the fire would have prolonged customer services, dealing with insurance claims, answering questions from every directions, etc. It took Gilson a good while to get back to me, and at one point I was ready to ask for my full refund back... Then I did some research to see some additional news about the Gilson fire. I found articles about the Gilson community, family and friends getting together donating and helping get Gilson back on their feet again. As I type this and every time I share this story, I always get goosebumps. I decided to wait long enough to let someone from Gilson to get back at me, and it was Gage who was the first one to get back to me. He was apologetic and thankful that I waited long enough to hear back. He broke the bad news that my board didn’t survive in the fire, and he offered either a full refund or a better deal on their new ‘23 Duel lineup. Because of the community outpouring during the post-fire and reading everyone’s post about Gilson being a family to the community, I wanted to show my love and support for a local business who goes above and beyond making sure their customers are happy with their products. I went with a new board instead. Gage made sure I was getting my new snowboard in time for me to shred on the day of my birthday (Dec 18th). My board arrived on Dec 14th with free stickers. Ever since I’ve become a Gilson customer without writing a review in the first place. Between 2022 and 2023, Gilson reached out to me a couple of times to invite me to join the family to go on a Getaway Trip. I missed out the 1st Getaway. When Gilson invited me for the 2nd time, I decided to go for it, not knowing what to expect... When I came out to Schweitzer, Idaho and met everyone who is part of the Gilson Getaway, everyone made me feel like a family member. Vanessa Venios who is the Gilson event planner and coordinator, did an amazing job making sure I felt included at all times. She and I worked together on breaking down communication barriers. With that being said, Gilson is big on versatility and inclusion. Gilson is an open arms, warm family. Gilson doesn’t single anyone out or make anyone feel like they’re not on a certain level. No matter how good or bad we are at skiing and boarding, Gilson still loves us and makes sure we’re always having a good time no matter what.

I was looking for a Locally produced snowboard. Gilson has exceeded my expectations in every possible way. From the customer service to board performance every experience has been positive. I even ordered the wrong size board and six months later when I finally got around to mounting it up and realized MY mistake they sent me a replacement size with free shipping on my return no questions asked. I am a customer for life . As a snowboard instructor explaining the camber and flex of the boards to new riders is such a joy because of my wonderful experience with Gilson. Thanks Guys!! Keep making a difference please. It shows

I bought my first board with gilson probably 2 years ago, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. I bought the bundle! I received a call only a few minutes after my purchase went through asking for my height, weight, boot size, and what my intentions were with this board. They customized my experience based on my needs and I couldn’t have been happier with the result. Absolutely awesome feel and feedback from the board I use! Gilson is a great company.

I found this Company by accident about 7-8 years ago and it was the best find ever. Did a demo day and waited patiently for the wide boards to be released. Been in the GILSON family ever since. Great company and they have an amazing following. Look forward to the products every year!!!! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!!!! GILSON for life 🤙🏻

Look no further folks!! I have purchased 3 boards and multiple accessories and gear from Gilson and have been more than happy every time. You can feel the quality of their products as soon as you open the package at home and won’t be disappointed once you hit the slopes!! I also love the fact that you can call them and talk to someone just as passionate about the sport that you are and have any questions answered personally! I’ve ridden all the big brands and won’t be going back to them. Give gilson a try!!

Everyone at the Gilson group was extremely kind and easy-going. I had a blast snowboarding with this group. The Gilson Team was well organized, planning several events for us to eat and socialize with others, and even allowed us to use some of their new boards, which I loved their new duals with flex in the middle. I would definitely recommend joining the Gilson group and I look forward to ordering my new custom design duals board from Gilson.

I purchased a Gilson 2 years ago and it’s by far my favorite board that I have had. I’ve only had it out around 15 times. I previously rode a Ride and K2 and the freestyle rocker from Gilson is way more playful than any other board I’ve used. The butter pad is a lot of fun for playing around outside of the terrain park. I will definitely get another one in the future. Only downside with the flex is I don’t like riding it in icy conditions cause you feel everything in your feet but then again I never really like icy conditions anyway. I also like that they’re a local company as I’m from PA and the cool touches like sending a cutoff from the board with the package when it shipped was awesome.

Gilson changed my ride style! I recently purchased the Duel and have been able to tackle jump and other features with confidence. The flex is perfect and surprisingly stable for a smaller board. The butter pad took a run to get use to but makes flat ground tricks so easy! 10/10 for this board.

Purchased a 2023 Duel after hearing great things about Gilson and wanting to support a PA business. Board is beautiful and drastically helped me to improve my skills as a rider over the last few months. Had a small issue pop up with the board, customer service immediately got back to me and exceeded all expectations. They truly care about their customers and stand behind their products. I highly recommend Gilson to anyone looking for quality boards or skis, you will not be disappointed.

Rode my brand new Duel for the first time today. I’m not a great rider. I’m and old man, 43… tad overweight but I still like to get out and have fun. My hopes was that the Duel with the softer flex and soft edge would help me learn to butter and land tricks for once. Well, I’m stoked! Had so much fun on this board. It didn’t take long at all to feel comfortable on it and I have gained a ton of confidence. The fire has been stoked again!Rode my brand new Duel for the first time today. I’m not a great rider.

I’d also like to add, I ordered my board, realized I ordered the wrong size and they fixed the issue I made almost as fast as I asked for help. The my Duel showed up super fast.

Amazing craftsmanship , customer service is second to none . Their products are also the best I’ve ridden in my 30 yrs snowboarding . I have now spread the “shred” to my son and he is so stoked to have his very own hand made Gilson Nirvana freestyle . Given the quality of my last purchase with Gilson I had to have my son on one as well .You guys keep killing it for us all out here and I’ll spread the word . If any technically proficient riders ever demo Gilson snows equipment , they’d never use anything else . These guys are an amazing group and I’m proud to shred for them.Don’t cheat yourself , treat yourself to the best ride down the mountain you’ll ever have !

I rode my Gilson Duel through the 2019-2020 season going into the next season and it is my favorite board. The soft edge is so nice, I rarely ever catch an edge, the board is super flexible and has an amazing pop, so doing butters is an absolute breeze. You can ride this board on almost all snow from hard pack to powder it's just amazing. I would rate higher if I could.

I wanted to wait until I’d put a good amount of time on this board before writing a review. This thing is amazing! But before I get to that, the customer service from Gilson is incredible. I’ve been snowboarding for about 20 years but I had some questions about their tech before ordering. I sent the number listed on the website a text and within an hour, the owner, Nick, called me back. That alone was different. Obviously that wouldn’t ever happen with one of the bigger companies. We talked boards and riding for a while and when I hung up, I knew I had to buy a board from them; I ordered it the next day. From there, as they custom built my Duel, I got emailed updates of the process and when it arrived there was a handwritten note on a piece of wood that the core of my board was cut from. Awesome. As far as the board itself, the graphics are beautiful and it is extremely well made. I have heard they have an incredible warranty policy, longest in the industry, but I hope to never have to use it. It does ride slightly different than a normal board due to the soft edges, but that was one of my major selling points and why I’ve been interested in the company for years. After a couple hours on it, I felt total comfortable and normal, other than no longer really having to worry about catching my edge on a rail anymore. It’s great because I used to have to file my edges for jibbing, but with the way this board is built, you can keep your edges sharp and still not really stress about catching an edge. Although when you’re carving, the edges are right there to bite into the snow when you need them. I definitely feel 100% in control on my Gilson. It’s quite soft, which is exactly what I wanted. It makes presses and butters so much fun. Nick directed me to get the 149cm, which seemed crazy to me because I’m 6’1” with size 12 feet. I’ve always ridden my boards smaller at about a 155, but he insisted this would be the size for me. Despite my being nervous about it, I trusted him and I’m glad I did. It hasn’t once felt too small for me no matter what I’m riding. And I’m used to having toe drag on pretty much any board I ride, even a mid wide, but I don’t really have any on this! I ride at 15 and -15 and I haven’t ever once felt any toe or heel drag. I ride everything with this board. I spend most my time in the park and it’s incredible on rails, but even hitting 40+ foot jumps that are super poppy I still feel really in control and stable on the landing. It does great on the groomers and is super fun to butter around and it even handles fine in the powder I’ve found so far with it. I feel like Nick and the group behind the boards are a family and really care and want to take care of their customers. You aren’t just a number and your board is built for you. There aren’t many companies left out there giving this kind of service. I’ve ridden just about every brand of board on the market and I don’t see why I’ll ever step onto one again now. This board rips. If you’re on the fence about one, just buy it, you absolutely won’t regret it.

I have Been riding for 20 plus years and am a big time jump and rail rider. After breaking many boards and being disappointed with countless big brand companies like burton. I had then decided to try out a Gilson duel snowboard. Hands down was the best decision I have ever made. With the flex, durability, and the way it rides. It is exactly what I have always needed. I will never go back to a different brand again. This company is the future to birding and I highly recommend it.

Where do I start.... Gilson boards have become a way of life around my house. I was looking to get a custom board and this little shop in PA came up in my search. Well now 10 boards later (not because of any issues I just keep getting more and more) they have become part of my family. My nephew who's new to boarding got a sweet ride for xmas and started crying when he saw that all the guys signed it. Both of my friends that I Hve let borrow boards are buying them. I guess it's about the boards and the product but it's bigger than that. These folks are stand up people and the kind that you would want to get to know, and put the love and care into your board. I feel blessed to get to know these wonderful folks. The stoke goes both ways, and if you want a great ride, and to make some new friends grab a Gilson or 5. Love and stoke always.

Absolutely can’t get enough of Gilson. I just picked up my 3rd Gilson snowboard. The Undead is insanely fun! It has so much hookup when you need it, doesn’t seem to care about ice all, but still has all the butter and play of a Duel. I love it. This is now the number 1 board in my quiver of 6. Thanks guys for making riding so much fun!

So in 2016, 3 years after I met them on their grassroots tour to get funding, I hit them up about a custom deck. Not only did they honor the discount that had expired, but they invited me down to PA for friendsgiving, house me for three days, and guided me through putting my own deck together. To this day, between my two decks, people are still busting tail to keep up. Great people, great products, and genuine thoughtful servic . I wish I could give them a 10 out of 10!

I had done tons of research on my next board. Decided on a custom Gilson, I have the latest in snow technology and it felt like getting a tattoo done, I love my board. Love the way it turned out. That soft edge has made me a better rider and gilson was there every step of the way to make sure that I was stoked with what came out of it. I ended up buying 3 boards from them. The customer support, the knowledge and friendliness. I hope this company lasts forever

The Gilson Duel is my favorite snowboard I've ever owned! It's so poppy and easy to play on, and the soft edge makes hangups on boardslides a thing of the past. I'm buying another board from them soon to handle the backcountry powder. I recommend them to everyone who asks!

I ordered a Gilson Duel 155 last season. When I first went to ride it, it seemed to have friction on the snow. I contacted Andrew at Gilson and he was really helpful. He told me exactly what needed to be done to correct the base finish and offered to pay for it. I had a shop do exactly what he recommended. WOW, when I took it out after that I immediately fell in love with it. I have been riding for 22 years now, have many boards and it is my all time favorite. It's agile enough to use in the terrain park, glades, traverses between pow stashes, etc. I can't wait to get another Gilson! I love having options and Gilson has quickly become my "go to" company when looking for new boards! Thanks to the team for their awesome design and support! A+ company in my book!!!

I just purchased a Gilson Duel 154 extra wide board about two weeks ago. Let me start by saying this board is awesome. After a weekend of riding, I immediately used their special order process to buy a custom designed Duel. Really excited to see the one of a kind finished product! Equally awesome to the tech in this board is the customer service over at Gilson. I am not the type of person to leave a review normally, but Gilson has provided such timely responses and quick turn around times with every customer request I have had that I felt like I must take the time to praise these dudes. Really awesome experience so far with the crew at Gilson!!!!!

The Board 3D Base soft edge is as epic as they say it is. It took me 3 turns to get used to it and a full day of riding to realize that I don't really care for a hard edge board anymore. One reason is all the confidence it give you for rails but the other thing that is not said is there are times while riding that you get a little tired and your knees aren't bent and you're not listening to your music anymore and you stand up and you would normally catch your heel Edge and dump yourself on your head with the soft Edge instead of it catching it let's your foot float backwards. The flex is amazing if anyone wants me to post a video just let me know and I'll strap in and show you how well it flexes. And if you want to try my board or any other Gilson boards come out to Blue Mountain February 3rd Palmerton Pennsylvania

Rode my new duel on the ice coast yesterday at cataloochee ski area. After the first ride, the butter pad and soft edge was very intuitive, the board has great flex and I always felt in control. The duel has a lot of pop on features and caught me off guard a couple times as compared to my early rise tip and tail rocker board. Very impressed and can't wait to ride it more and learn to butter it better. Thanks Gilson for answering all my questions before purchase as there wasn't any chance of me being able to demo one. Don't regret my purchase at all!

I had the amazing opportunity to tour this incredible companies facility yesterday and needless to say, not only are the people incredible, the product surpasses any expectation that I had. I first saw this company on a tv special and was super excited that they were local, so I called up the next day and spoke to Austin and he quickly arranged a tour for us. Upon arriving at Gilson, from the moment we walked through the door we were treated like friends and not customers, during the tour Austin was so excited to tell us about the Gilson product and show us how each board or set of skis come together. I can honestly say as we were going room to room learning about the different steps it takes to complete a Gilson board or skis, it was fascinating! They put so much love and hand detail into every Gilson product, its just absolutely amazing. At the end of our tour I surprised my husband with Austins help!, with a new Gilson Duel board, we took it come that night and it was on the mountain shortly after! My husband is an experienced rider, having ridden for over 16 years, and he was taken back by the technology that this board had, the soft edges have the board an amazing surfy feel on the snow and allowed him to do some amazing buttery presses in the park as well as it just hammered it all across the mountain at our home mountain Ski Roundtop. We were stopped by about 10 other riders who wanted to see this board and a few wanted to try it out lol! I myself then took the board for a spin, and I am a beginner snowboarder and I can honestly say that learning my toe turns has been incredibly hard for me...up until this board, and these soft edges! When I road this board last night, with those soft edges, initiating my turns was so effortless and smooth, that I decided I needed one of these boards myself! I am so grateful to have some across this company, the amazing people in it, and the Gilson products! I can honestly say that I have never ridden a better board, and to know that I am supporting a local company, with not only an AMAZING product, but also amazing people, I'm happy to call Gilson my new snowboard home. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome, and for putting your hearts in to this company, and your products, you are all amazing! Give this company a try, and I can promise you...you will NOT be disappointed.

The people at Gilson are amazing and will help you get a board any way they can. There snowboards are completely different from any others out there offering a 3D base and a pow channel on most of the boards. I got the Nirvana becauase I've always liked stiffer boards and this one doesn't dissapoint with the flex it's insanely poppy.

I have owned alot of snowboards so far in my boarding career and last season I added the Gilson Dual to my assortment...and my Gilson is most definitely in my top favorites. I've taken my Dual to plenty of mountains and rode through different conditions and it has always held it's own. Super flexy and playful board to ride in general, but I've also managed to carve steep moguls easily on it. I get asked about it everywhere I go. The company itself is great, as well. I talked to Nicholas before I got my board and he was extremely helpful with all my questions. Thank you guys for making a board I've had a blast on so far, you rock!

The Whole Gilson company has been incredible to work with. I bought the Dual from them a year or so ago and have absolutely loved no only to board, but the support and appreciation from the company as a whole. I very highly recommend purchase and support of these guys!

Gilson is the most amazing company! I caught up with them for a demo day, and I happened to break my snowboard. They sold me one of the demo boards there that day, and it is truly phenomenal. Gilson boards have a feel like no other and are truly on the front line of snowbord innovation.

I have over 20 snowboards, but there are only 2 I ride regularly, a dedicated powder board, and my Gilson. The soft edge technology makes for a forgiving ride, it's a more surfy feel that makes riding fun. The edge is there when you need it, and the 3d base keeps it off rails, jibs, and ice for a forgiving hang up free ride. Board is light weight, fun to ride, looks awesome, and had tons of pop - rides great in all conditions, but really outperforms other boards in slushy conditions and hard-pack. I bought it untested and unridden and I don't regret that decision at all. Going on season 3 on this board and loving it. Only thing i dislike is scraping off wax, but I feel the same way with a flat base. Find a demo day on their tour, get there early, ride a board, you won't regret it.

I heard about Gilson early on in mine and their career, very curious about their technology I emailed them asking many questions, and getting nothing but kind words and gestures back. Today I am lucky enough to ride Gilson boards everyday, and even lucky enough to be on the team! I can't wait to ride with all these amazing people this winter:)

One of the most unique boards I've ever rode. My Gilson Duel shreds like a champ while the soft edge allows for more technical maneuvers from butters to boxes and rails, Gilson just keeps amazing me. Very community friendly crew who clearly love what they do, and want to spread the love.

Gilson Duel, phenomenal board! This board is so playful it makes riding all mountain easy. Park is just that much easier, the lifted edge helped me not to catch my edge and look like a fool. If you want to butter and press your way down the mountain definitely invest in Gilson!

I have a gilson dual. This board is the direct definition of what it's like to be an american. It's a fun flexable board with a great amoint pop when you need it. This board like america has a forgiving side when hitting the rails and jumps with its soft edge tech giving you vast amounts of freedom and confidence. when you get into it the true edge the board grabs and changes directions like a bald eagles tallons grabbing it's prey. Every time I ride my gilson dual.i stand in front of a mirror and recite the oath of enslitment. This board screms down the slopes like the furious cry of a f22 raptor breaking the sound barrier. I love my dual and I love the gilson company with thier all American product way to go gilson. General Mattis would be proud. I salute you the great people of gilson.

I started snowboarding and my beginning board required so much effort to keep up with everyone but I was also scared about my edges catching and falling. GILSON changed my boarding experience drastically when I got to demo one. It is like no other board I had demoed before. All of a sudden I became fast, and even had to wait for my snow buddies to keep up with me. I pulled the trigger and bought one for myself as my 5 year cancer free gift. Gilson has been responsive with helping me pick out the right board. They are an incredible company because they make a great product. LOVE THEM!

If you are looking for a smooth, well crafted, and durable board that can take on anything the mountains throw at it, look no further than Gilson. I have never owned a board that glides over the terrain like my Gilson Duel. The newly engineered butter pad works wonders on both the parks and all mountain. The flex is amazing and extremely forgiving. Certainly not a beginners board in my opinion but is a competitor when compared to the big boys of the industry like Burton, Ride, & Rome.....

This is the absolute best snowboard and ski shop/manufacturer I have ever seen. Their boards Flex unimaginably well and are easily written by novices and Veterans alike. There are new skis that they just released are epic and I can't wait to hit the slopes and test them out

Just received my duel in the mail about three weeks ago can’t wait to ride it this season. I’ve been itching to ride it ever since I got it. I first found Gilson snowboards on an ad on Instagram and their products really caught my eye. I ordered this board because I wanted to improve my freestyle riding. I’ve heard numerous good things about the company from people I’ve met on the slopes that had a gilson of their own. None of them had a bad thing to say about the company or boards. Living about an hour away from the Gilson farm I decided I would stick with my Pennsylvania roots and purchase a board that was made in my home state! Costomer service at Gilson is beyond incredible. When I received my board they had sent me a piece of the wood that they used when making my board and It had a message on it that said “The time for butters is near, may snow find you well this season!”. This just goes to show that their company goes above and beyond for that extra customer satisfaction. I am so stoked that I made the decision to pick up a Gilson for this upcoming season, definatly will be making purchases with this awesome brand in the future! KEEP IT STOKED!!!

I absolutely love my board! It rides like butter and is by far my favorite board I’ve ever bought!

A little under a year ago I saw an advertisement on Instagram. This ad was for a new and improved modification to the previous 2-Dimensional conventional snowboards. I decided to take a leap of faith and figure out what all the hype was about. I later encountered one of the best years of snowboarding I have had in many and this (Gilson Dual Park Board) took my already "ok" riding to an exponential progression like never before. I was landing tricks, attempting more aggressive riding and featuring a level of confidence I had never associated with my riding style. Upon later understanding of what the board was capable of, and what I was now capable of, I called the company and spoke to Nicholas himself. A very polite, understanding, motivated, and pure snowboard enthusiast. He explained that if it were not for his students, which I do believe he was teaching elementary or junior high; that Nicholas himself would've given up on his dream. I am greatly appreciative for his application and dedication to his dream because, if it were not for the seed that he planted, the flower would've never blossomed. Thank you Nicholas and All MEMBERS of Gilson. You have provided me with an experience like never before attempted.

I got my Gilson duel last Christmas and absolutely fell in love with it! It rides different than any board I've ever ridden before, so surfy and playful. I also love how versatile the board is, with the soft edge I can go to the park and hit rails and jibs without having to file my edges, then immediately go to slopes and still have an edge to carve with. I was even happier with my choice to ride a Gilson after I called to get an update on my board and actaully got to talk to Nick Gilson on the phone. He was so helpful and nice and you could really tell that he cares about his customers and keeping them happy. I will never buy anything except a Gilson again, I can't say enough good things about the company and the boards themselves.

I went down to PA from VT in November of '16 to put together my own custom board. What I found upon arrival was some of the raddest people I have met to date. People like Danny, Austin, John, Hannah, Steve, the owner Nick, and my board artist Ryan (just to name a few) are what make this industry great. They put me up for 3 days and 3 nights. Fed me. Showed me some really cool and exclusive products and allowed me to have my fingers on almost every step of the way in the creation of my board. That is just the people there. The board itself, my 152 Duel, kills the notorious Eastern slopes. On a icy day, Gilson hands down. On a fast day, Gilson hands down. Everyday, Gilson. Hands. Down. Faster, better, stronger. Gilson Snow is the way to go.

I'm extremely happy with my Gilson dual. The flex is amazing and gives you so much control. The soft edge makes the board so fun and playful you can butter with ease. And the board looks great too. I had a great experience buying this board. You call and you talk to the owner Nick. He sets you up!!! GREAT TEAM. I see more Gilson snowboards In My future...
