THE REVOLUTIONARY ALL-TERRAIN SNOWBOARD THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

The award-winning Skate Banana can do it all, it's easy to ride, easy to turn, forgiving, it floats over powder and offers unreal jib/freestyle performance. The Skate Banana is an ingenious all-terrain freestyle board and will never become obsolete in your equipment.

Riding style
The skate banana is a freestyle board that you can do absolutely everything with. Whether you are beginner or expert, this board will make sure you'll have fun.

Shape
The True Twin shape is perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that's equally versatile when ridden forward or switch. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential.

Profile
The original Banana profile comes with a rocker between the feet and a faint camber underfoot. This makes it easy to ride and cruise, but also neat for jibbing and ripping in deep snow.

Flex
The soft-medium flex is playful and forgiving. While there is also enough pop to allow for controlled freestyle moves.

Construction
The Original Power Construction OP is a very lightweight, environmentally friendly and durable construction design from Lib Tech. The core is made of Aspen and Paulownia wood. A perfect combination that is robust and scores with a lot of pop. The Eco Sublimated Poly Topsheet is sustainably produced and recycled material was also used for the UHMW Sidewalls. To make sure your board suffers less in the park, it is protected by the UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection. The TNT base is solid, fast and virtually maintenance-free. This is made from two layers of special fluoro material and can also cope well with the odd day without wax.

Subject to alterations according to the manufacturer. Image is non-binding.

 

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.
