Lib Tech Skate Banana 2027

The Lib Tech Skate Banana is well known in the industry as a legendary, innovative, and rider-friendly board that has solidified its place over the years, catering to a wide range of enthusiasts from beginners to professionals. Featuring the iconic Original Banana camber profile with rocker between the feet for seamless turns, Magne-Traction for exceptional edge control, and a well-balanced flex which is suitable for any terrain. The rocker between your feet ensures float and catch free edges while still maintaining the ease of pressing and buttering in the park. Bridging the best of both worlds, the Skate Banana is a board for any skill level and should not be known as merely a 'beginner, rocker snowboard.'

Board Type: Freestyle - All Mountain

Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.

Flex: 4/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)

Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.

Ability Level: Beginner - Intermediate

A beginner snowboard is softer, lighter, and more stable, making it easier to control and manoeuvre while learning basic skills like turning and stopping.

Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.

Shape: Twin

A twin-shaped snowboard is symmetrical with an identical tip and tail, designed for equal performance riding forward or switch. It’s perfect for freestyle tricks, spins, and jumps, offering balance, stability, and control in both directions.

Camber Type: OB - Original Banana

Mild rocker between your feet with mild camber to the tip and tail makes this the best camber profile to progress your riding. Learn to ride on day one or learn new tricks everyday. Holds an edge on hardpack, floats in powder, and jibs everything.

Width: Standard - Wide

Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.

Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.

Inserts: 2x4 Inserts

These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.

Board Construction

Topsheet: Eco Sublimated Poly Topsheet

This topsheet is made using an eco-friendly sublimation that is both strong and environmentally friendly.

Laminate: Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax Fiber

The Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax alloy glass offers a smooth ride while keeping weight low.

Core: OP - Original Power Construction Core

Light, environmentally nice, and strong. Combines 75% Aspen and 25% Paulownia woods with Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax Fibreglass for a great long lasting ride.

Sidewall: Birch Internal, UHMW Sintered Sidewalls

Durable, high-impact ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It delivers exceptional impact resistance, superior resilience, and a smooth, damped ride.

Base: Sintered Knife Cut Base

This base is made of a fast sintered material with a die-cut base to reduce waste.

Additional Features:

• Magne-Traction

Seven strategically placed serrations along the edges of the board grip onto the snow and hold a strong edge in any condition.

• UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection

By removing the edge around the nose and tail and replacing it with UHMW material, you no longer need to worry about running your nose and tail into objects and damaging the edge. This makes it easy to repair and reduce swing weight.
