All about the Lib Tech Skate Banana
All about the Lib Tech Skate Banana
The Lib Tech Skate Banana is a pioneering snowboard known for its playful and versatile performance.
Magne-Traction is a patented technology that creates wavy cutting edges on snowboards for improved grip on icy and hard snow. These waves create additional contact points that increase stability and control.
"The board that can make any situation memorable. Whether you are hanging in the air, cutting powder or sliding over metal, it makes everything fun. I always get off the board smiling. Well, I always smile after I fall, too, but either way, the board is fun." - Brandon Reis.

All-mountain freestyle snowboard that pushes your limits.
The Skate Banana feels at home everywhere, but excels especially in the park and on the slopes. Its construction offers not only great performance, but also excellent floatation characteristics. In addition, the Lib Tech Skate Banana is equipped with the signature Magne-Traction system. The seven wavy edges cut through snow and ice like a hot knife through butter, giving you unparalleled grip on all types of terrain.
This snowboard features an OP-core (Original Power construction), which is lightweight yet strong. The fiberglass is carefully placed in bi-axial and tri-axial patterns, and the board uses a combination of two woods to enhance performance and versatility. Whether you're turning your first turns, perfecting tricks in the park or just enjoying every descent, the Lib Tech Skate Banana snowboard is synonymous with innovation, fun and endless possibilities.
