Snowboards of Lib Tech

Lib Tech - Out of this World Snowboards

Liberace Technologies , or Lib Tech for short, are famed for their innovative snowboard technologies and radical designs . The brand was founded by Mike Olson in 1989 under the umbrella of Mervin Manufacturing and, to secure its future, was sold to Quiksilver in 1997, the necessary - and correct - choice.

Working with Mother Nature for the Most Innovative Technologies

Lib Tech snowboards are still made 100 % by hand in their own factory in Sequim, Washington . Their incredibly environmentally friendly production processes like their very own wood recycling system, natural glues, and eco-friendly lacquer substitutes make the brand one of the greenest snowboard manufacturers not just on the market but on the whole planet. Lib Tech understand that this is the only way can we hand over snowboarding as we know and love it to the next generation of shredders. With the input of renowned riders like Travis Rice, Eric Jackson, Mark Landvik and Jesse Burtner , the development process of a Lib Tech snowboard takes place directly on the mountain. Jamie Lynn , Lib Tech's first designer and long-time friend has also played a big part in the brand's development. Lib Tech's definitive breakthrough on the snowboard market came with the Skate Banana snowboard, the first board series to feature the award winning Banana Technology and unique Magne-Traction edges, two technologies that the snowboard industry has fully embraced ever since.

The Perfect Lib Tech Snowboard for You

Since then, Lib Tech have combined Banana Tech with a whole range of different camber variations, creating the perfect Lib Tech snowboard for virtually any kind of rider out there. Banana Tech reverse camber (rocker) makes boards more playful and ultra floaty in powder and means you don't have to worry about catching your edges any time soon. Serrated Magne-Traction edges feature seven contact points to make even the hardest ice patches feel like powder. You never have to worry about slipping out on icy pistes again. The combination of these two technologies is an absolute dream. Lib Tech now offer you the choice of eight different camber profiles according to your riding style - you should definitely try at least these four: BTX boards feature a light rocker between the feet with a flat to mild camber towards the nose and tail for a playful, reactive ride in the park or on piste. You'll find this shape on jib and freestyle boards like the Skate Banana or Burtner's Box Scratcher. The C2 is a camber/rocker blend with rocker between the feet and a more aggressive camber to the nose and tail for top notch edge hold when you need it most and a playful board the rest of the time. This shape is featured on freestyle and all mountain snowboards like the T. Rice Pro or the Skunk Ape . The Skunk Ape is also available as a splitboard for the ultimate backcountry experience. !BTX! is an enhanced, magical blend of technology with an enhanced rocker between the feet and a lighter camber to the nose and tail contact points. Ideal for an unforgettable day in powder, this shape is found on all mountain and freeride boards like the Banana Magic . C3 improves on traditional camber by adding a light rocker between the feet, giving you maximum amounts of pop and aggressive edge hold. Freestyle and all mountain boards like the Hot Knife and the Phoenix Jamie Lynn guarantee a controlled ride in every situation. Whether you're jibbing, shredding the pipe or park or sending it in the backcountry, Lib Tech's Magne-Traction and Banana Tech can handle it all.
