Game Changer
This is my first new board in 15 years. I am blown away by its low weight, comfort and maneuverability. My only complaint is the additional time spent fighting off hordes of board admirers in the lift line.

FREESTYLE / ALL MOUNTAIN - TWIN
20 years of Skate Banana!
”It feels like yesterday that we turned snowboarding upside and elevated the fun meter to include an entirely new “hybrid’ rocker camber category with this sweet, grippy, slippery good times all terrain plantain.” - Pete Saari
“The rocker between your feet counterintuitively fulcrums tip and tail pressure to your contacts creating a dynamic camber and stability on hard pack and pure float in the pow” - Mike Olson
“The Magne-Traction® serrated edges with the grippiest teeth between your feet add knobby tire moto mountain bike edge hold and control in the soft pack and act like little grippy mini precision ice skates on firm snow and ice.” - Steven Cobb
Since we launched it, the Skate Banana has won countless contests, awards, stacked NBD clips, prevented over 15000 scorpions, inspired countless imitation variations and miles of smiles.
If you are new to the game, the skate banana is the most fun, user friendly, resort minded, ATV freestyle board ever to hit the slopes. Our 20 year model stays true to the original revolutionary award winning “Banana Tech” rocker/camber hybrid contour that redefined modern snowboard design. This fun, easy to ride, high performance dream stick rips hardpack, carves ice, jibs, and floats effortlessly in powder. Loaded with features like an FSC® certified Aspen/Paulownia core, sintered knife cut base, Magne-Traction® serrated edges, this is the perfect board to progress on whether you are just getting started, know the game and love good times or are a pro like Brandon Reis stacking clips.

Easy turns and a grippy edge
The skate banana is now my favorite board, I love how easy it turns and with the banana shape I rarely catch an edge. Speaking about edge, the serrated edges on the skate banana are great when you hit that icy patch, it grips.

Sick daily
The time honoured skate banana. I've had 2, they're so great for playful days in the park or getting crazy on the side hits. If you're having trouble with butters, grab one of these bad boys and go ham.

Skate banana is a great value
Love this board. It’s made me a better switch rider and is a great board for the money.

Lib tech skate banana 159w
The shape of the skate banana has been awesome all over the mountain. It has helped me learn to ride switch and butter up some spins. The magnatraction is legit. Great board, great value.
