LIB x MAYHEM COLLECTION
The Lib x Mayhem program is a special one for us, combining our mutual love for board building across both surf and snow. Matt "Mayhem" Biolos’ high performance shapes and his world class surfing program have always made …lost feel like board sports family. Work hard, play hard, think outside the box and push the dream board envelope for ourselves and our community of rippers. Matt pulls his highly competitive world tour shaping experience and firm grasp of the everyday needs of recreational surfers together allowing him to create amazing shapes that elevate performance and fun for every level of surfer. Layer into this his 30+ year snowboard obsession that takes him from his mountain home base of Mammoth, CA to Japan and beyond for epic days on frozen water that rival his best in waves. This die hard snowboarder brings the same attention to detail, performance and fun when shaping, designing and decorating his line of Lib Tech x Mayhem snowboards as he does to every surf shape he's ever created. That's Lib Tech x Mayhem...the design mastery and experience of Matt Biolos, our environMENTALy friendly, darn difficult to ding American made manufacturing and both our shared passions for radical fun and experimentation on the world's best boards.
"It's a very symbiotic relationship... They offer me the opportunity to work with really progressive materials and creative, alternative ideas. That mad scientist Mike (Olson) is always coming up with new ideas and it really inspires me. And at the same time all the work we do with athletes and surf board building around the world brings designs, shapes, models year after year that mesh so well with the Lib Technologies construction." - Matt Biolos
THE LIB x MAYHEM 22/23 SNOWBOARD COLLECTION
Matt's snowboard shaping acumen is heavily influenced by what he's learned while creating his global blockbuster surf shapes. What he learns in surf he immediately starts brainstorming on how to apply that to snow. This surf / snow - shaping / testing feedback loop creates crossover performance characteristics that are truly amazing and unique to the Lib x Mayhem Collection.

The surf industry was in a 20 year performance design rut when in '94 and '95 Matt Biolos experimented with multiple variations of fish for himself, Chris Ward and Cory Lopez that became the building blocks for a performance hybrid revolution. “I’d never before had so many surfers and shapers ask me what are you riding?” Now in the name of great surfing and surfboards Matt has applied the past 25 years of board building to create a better surfboard faithfully based on but not exacting to the 96 RNF versions.
