Lib Tech snowboards have been making great snowboards for a long time. From day one, Lib Tech has been a brand made by snowboarders – for snowboarders. Also known for the first functioning rocker board on the market: the Lib Tech Skate Banana.

The belief at Lib Tech snowboards is that anything is possible. If you can dream it, you can make it. With the so-called 'kraftsmen', they have been building the best handmade boards for years. These kraftsmen are all snowboarders themselves who want to create the best board for you.

They do all this together cheerfully in the Mervin factory, prioritizing the climate. All Lib Tech boards are made with environmentally friendly materials, and Lib Tech snowboards are among the few snowboard brands that are completely recyclable. According to Lib Tech, they create the world's best boards: 'The dream boards'.

For this season, the guys at Lib Tech are coming up with an awesome collection of snowboards again. In addition to well-known models such as the Orca, Skate Banana, and Travis Rice Pro, they are introducing a new pro model for the upcoming seasons. The Lib-tech Golden Orca. This Orca performs even better in fresh powder. The nose and tail are just a bit longer than the current Orca.

Structure of Lib Tech snowboards

At Lib Tech, they work with 3 different shapes.

  1. Original Banana shape

Rocker between your bindings and a mild camber outside your bindings. This ensures a natural turning shape and a lot of pressure on the edges, providing plenty of grip. This shape also allows for a lot of float, giving a surf feel in untouched snow. The camber provides more control and pop in the board.

  1. C2 “The perfect hybrid”

This board is developed for regular snowboarding. The C2 shape has significantly more camber outside your feet than the banana shape. However, the C2 still features rocker between the bindings. More camber results in greater control and precision while snowboarding. Additionally, more camber leads to more pressure on the edges and increased pop. The C2 comes in 2 variants, the C2X (xtreme) and the C2E (easy). The difference between the two is the amount of camber in the board.

C3 “The world’s best camber”

This board is developed for serious work. The C3 camber features a very mild rocker between the bindings. Additionally, this board has extremely more camber outside the bindings than the Banana shape. This results in more grip, stability, and pop. However, it requires more strength and technique to ride comfortably on it. Not afraid of a challenge? Be sure to check out these boards.

In addition to the shapes mentioned above, there are of course more beautiful technical features in the snowboards from Lib. One of the most well-known is, of course, Magna Traction. These serrated steel edges provide more contact points with the snow; as many as 7 contact points, compared to the 2 you would expect from a traditional camber. This gives you more grip on ice and hard pistes.

The snowboards from Lib Tech are also equipped with various beautiful types of wood, such as Aspen, Paulownia, Beech, and Balsa wood. These are all distributed across the different constructions with names like Firepower, Horsepower, Climax, and the Original Power Construction. There are also various methods of fiberglass inlays and types of bases.

Lib Tech skate banana

The most famous board from the line of Libtech snowboards is of course the Lib Tech skate banana. This typical rocker board was one of the first functioning rockers on the market. This is due to the BTX banana shape. This allows for super easy rotation on your own axis and the board grips on any terrain. With the addition of Magne-traction to the skate banana, you also have incredible grip. Even on ice or hard snow, the board maintains grip. Magne-traction works like a serrated knife on the snow. This feature is found on all Lib Tech snowboards.

Lib Tech T Rice pro

In collaboration with Travis Rice, Lib-tech has released several pro boards. The most famous are of course the Lib Tech T-rice pro and the TRS. Since 2018/2019, the Lib Tech Orca has been added to this lineup. This latest board is a true all-rounder that really feels at home off-piste.

In addition to Lib Tech, Mervin also manufactures snowboards for Gnu and Roxy, as well as Bent Metal snowboard bindings. These bindings fit perfectly on Lib Tech snowboards in terms of specifications and color schemes. So if you’re looking for a snowboard set from Lib Tech with good snowboard bindings, definitely take a look at Bent Metal bindings.

How to sharpen Lib Tech snowboards?

Due to the snowboards being equipped with Magna-Traction, the steel edges are a bit more challenging to sharpen. If you want to sharpen your Lib Tech board yourself, you will need a short file. If you do not have a short file, you can tilt a longer file in the holder. Shorter files are easier to maneuver over the 7 bumps. If you use a file that is too long, you won’t be able to access the entire steel edge. Don’t have experience withsharpening a snowboard? We are happy to help. We can maintain your Lib-Tech snowboard or demonstrate how to sharpen and wax it so that you can do it yourself next time.

However, all boards still featureMagna-Traction and where possible, a rocker between the bindings for easier turning.
