HP means light, tech and strong… perfect for today’s progressive free- style or powder Ape with a job and some free time. Kyle Phillips talked us into this one… he kept saying that big guys need light set ups, their boards are always wide and long so a lightweight construction really makes a difference in the pow, on the chair, or when you are spinning after one of those tricks that got away. He is huge, we couldn’t say no.

TECHNOLOGY:
C2 Power Banana Camber / Banana Blend (C2 BTX)
Travis Rice’s favorite blend for aggressive power snowboarders pushing the envelope. Rocker between your feet blended with a radial camber to contact points. Focuses pressure between your feet for easy turns, great edge hold on ice and a solid amount of pressure to the tip and tails for power end-to-end stability, pop and maximum control in critical situations while maintaining float.
Twin All Terrain Freestyle Freeride
Excels: in all conditions.
Epic: big landings & critical lines.
Magne-Traction (MTX)
Magne-Traction serrated edges cut into the snow like a knife giving you more edge hold and control than ever before. Magne-Traction features 7 strategically located and sized bumps along each side of your sidecut. The Biggest bumps are at and between your feet where your balance is centered adding maximum control and power where you need it most. The bumps outside your feet are smaller and less aggressive providing tip and tail control but maintaining freestyle freedom. Magne-Traction is wiggles that work. Viva Technology.
MAGNE-TRACTION FREESTYLE ADVANTAGE:
One of the best things about Magne-Traction is that the extra edge hold you get allows you to ride your board de-tuned for the park and rails and still get great edge hold all over the mountain. Take a file and round your edges so they don’t hang up on the rails, boxes, or ledges. Then go ride everywhere!
Directional Twin
Effortless freestyle and freeride geometry. Twin chassis (from contact to contact) but with an ever so slightly longer nose than tail. Floats on powder and blasts thru crud, a Twin with an advantage.
Columbian Gold Core
Experimental new dead tree with the highest compression response ever used in a snowboard.
Sintered UHMW Base Material
Super tough base material that holds wax well due to its compression formed amorphous polymer structure. Super fast when waxed with Oneballjay.
Correct Sandwich
SUPER LIGHT SPIN WEIGHT! The perfect blend of pickles and mustard. UHMW sidewalls, Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls, torsionally loose. The new kids think they are new!
Double Sintered UHMW Sidewalls
A Lib Tech innovation. Twice as sintered as any other sidewall. Tough, handsome and light.
Basalt
Basalt is produced in a clean, pure process consisting of high heat and absent of toxic additives. Not only is it safer for humans, it’s easier to recycle. Basalt fiber has strength properties much higher than fiberglass and better damping properties for a smooth ride.
Bio-Plastic Beans
ExperiMENTAL division leader Mike Olson loves beans! When he’s not eating them he’s buying plastics made with them. Lib Tech has made a commitment to using a new earth friendly, bio-plastic top skin made from beans that features the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any top sheet in the industry.
Horsepower Construction
Features all BASALT, no traditional fiberglass, BEANS top material, and Columbian Gold Eco Timber Core. Volcanic Organic Power Banana performance.
Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls
The same futuristic power 90º pop technology from our world record setting skateboards and power transfer spines only this time we have placed it along the sidewall of your board to add board control to our sandwich construction. Stronger, more pop, and more control brought to you by our Woodshop!
