Description

ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL TWIN

Our experiMENTAL Division’s big guy “dream board” project gets a nose job! Constant testing and refinement by Trevor Phillips, Krush Kulesza, Neil Green and Kurt Jensen make this the best larger gentlemen’s power freestyle stick on the planet. A slightly more relaxed longer nose shape for pow float. This ape is absolutely resort ready... hit the rails or put it on rail and trench, your toes won’t drag but your knuckles might. Built in ultra-light HP construction for easy on the front foot chair rides.

Flex

How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

Ya Sir

“Pow Floater”

I owned this board loved it in the powder! It will stay on top of the snow better than others, that I have ridden on lib techs line up in the past. The wide part of the board is nice for bigger feet which inturns helps on pow.... Dislikes. Flatbasing this bad boy at high speeds are a bit unnerving. Almost like your on a flat plate if you wasn’t a comfortable rider it might scare you just find the edge and fly! Other is when at the top of the hill putting board on and moving @ slow speed this board being wide is a bit tougher to turn These are my personal opinions I’m glad to see we can review these bad boy toys on there website now! Big plus to help other decide

Lib Tech Skunk Ape

This board is so amazing - I keep telling my friends you have to get a skunk ape. This board absolutely dominates deep snow - effortlessly.

My Mountain Surfboard of Choice

Huge skunk ape fan! Nothing else matches the smooth buttery flex & surfy responsiveness. As a surfer, I want something that holds a carve all the way through (roundhouse cutback) and releases beautifully (off the lip snap). Yes it's loose AF, but massively articulate when carving/choosing lines. It excels in powder/groomers and has a flexy feel like there's no board and you're barefoot. Surfers call this a magic board. I ride a 170UW skunk ape, and highly recommend to anyone with a Sasquatch build (6'2", 230lbs, size 13 boots) like me.

Pure Gold

Skunk Ape is the best larger human shred sled I've ever ridden. I'm on my 3rd one and it's perfect in pow or on groomers. My size 14 boots fit with no toe drag. Paired this up with the Bent Metal "Solution" binders for unrivaled badassery!
