The perfect combination of freestyle and freeride board - the Swiss knife for versatile riders
Fredi Kalbermatten wanted an all-terrain freestyle stick that was precise, powerful, playful, jibby, carvy and kills it when the pow gets good. Fredi and LIBTechs experiMENTAL Division combined a floaty nose with a C3 camber to create his dream stick.
Riding Style
This board is ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who are looking for an aggressive board to bring their freestyle riding to big mountain terrain.
Shape
A Twin shape with Taper. Nose and tail have the same length and the bindings are mounted in the middle (no setback). The snowboard rides equally well in both directions, whether switch or forward. A tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, this enhances deep snow flotation.
Profile
The C3 profile is a classic camber profile with a mild rocker between the bindings. This offers precise edge control from nose to tail and maximum stability for high airs and landings. The mild rocker makes the board a bit more playful and offers more float than conventional camber profiles.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides you with a lively board that allows you to stay in control at all speeds and pop over everything.
Construction
The 'Horsepower construction' HP is lighter than the 'Original Power Construction' OP, environmentally nicer due to the usage of bio beans and basalt fibre and offers an extremely smooth ride. The Aspen and Paulownia wood core is robust with a lot of pop. The top sheet is made of Eco-sublimated bio beans. The sintered Base is very fast but requires careful maintenance.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
