The Bounty Hunter first caught our eye thanks to its “Ronin” Japanese Samurai-influenced artwork. While it does come in four graphic choices, and six size options, the Ronin option is definitely our favorite. The Bounty Hunter lends itself to an all-mountain riding experience and features a full, positive camber profile that’s stable at both high and low speeds. Snappy and lively, this deck carves like a dream, and has plenty of pop for riding through the park. 

INSIDER KNOWLEDGE: Offered in both flat base or their 3D base, the folks at Gilson are a true Made in America brand, who pride themselves on customer satisfaction, and encourage involvement with their brand, which brings up perhaps the most unique characteristic of the Bounty Hunter, an interactive experience that you can participate in after buying this deck. Gilson created a truly one-of-a-kind game called the “Bounty Hunt” that allows the first 500 people to buy the board a chance to earn “bounties” by performing tasks, kind of like a scavenger hunt. Once 10 bounties are reached, they are rewarded any FREE board from the Gilson line. More info here.
