The Curated Take
By the Expert Community
There is seriously not a single board that I love more in this life. This is one of the most playful and intuitive boards I have ever ridden. I have broken my arm twice due to ice, and ever since I got a board with magnet-traction, I have yet to slip out on the ice again. The C2 profile on this board couldn’t be a more magical combo. Plenty of pop for play as well as emergencies and extremely strong edge hold. Enduro carving on this board is not an issue. She loves the park. She loves to butter, spin on rails, boxes, in the air, and more. The amount of flex this board has makes tamedogs (frontflips) a breeze. This board loves it all, and I love it with all my soul. Amazing Lib Tech board that destroys everything you throw at it!

Best in every Situation!
Originally posted at www.lib-tech.com on Mar 21, 2023I have the 2020 Model and i love it. It doesn't matter if you are in the Park or in the Pow between the Slopes, every time a good choice. Also in faster runs good (73 km/h) ;-).

The Best of the Best
5 /5
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kyle and my experience with him on Curated. I’m a pretty hard headed individual and I went into the curation wanting a very specific GNU board. Kyle talked me off that ledge (was far outside my budget) and steered me in the direction of something similar that fit my budget a lot better. I’m stoked about my purchase and am so excited to get out on the slopes!
Kyle was knowledgeable without being arrogant, which is extremely hard to find in the skiing industry. I don’t like to feel pressured into purchasing something without doing my research, and there was no point during our multiple day conversation that he made me feel pressured or rushed. He was patient, kind, and friendly in a way that felt above and beyond for the given task.
If my rave review doesn’t say enough, Kyle seems like a gem of a human. Wishing him and his family all the best!

Super knowledgeable, great experience, tons of options, no pressure… Leo gets it!
5 /5
Skied a fair bit as a kid in the Northeast, then switched to snowboarding when I moved out west 15 years ago, and just getting back into skiing somewhat seriously as my kids are pretty self-sufficient and competent on most runs these days.
We usually rent, but after skiing about 20 days last year, I decided that buying new boots at a minimum was an absolute must. Some days were pure torture… But, I had no idea where to start and was instantly overwhelmed beginning my search on my own.
Enter Leo and Curated. Leo took the time to understand my situation, my skill level, my goals, my preferences, etc. In short order, after I sent back my boot measurements, I received a personalized video with several different options and tons of rationale for my expanded search for skis, bindings, and poles as well. I felt very comfortable that I had a good set of options to choose from for each piece of equipment - with an accompanying wealth of Leo’s deep knowledge and experience to consider as I pondered this large, potential purchase.
I decided to hold off at that point, and Leo made sure I knew he was available to text or chat live as needed - he is super responsive. No pressure at all. I came back to it later the next day, chatted a bit back and forth with Leo, and felt really confident about making the purchase. That’s really saying something given how little I knew about modern ski gear just a night or two earlier.
I highly recommend Leo and will be reaching out to him directly for any future purchases. I won’t hesitate to direct friends and family to him either, and have a hunch my wife will be looking for his help right around the time my new gear hits our doorstep.
Thanks, Leo!

Ryan is very knowledgeable about the tech of snowboards and the areas I frequently snowboard at. He helped me understand the fundamentals about snowboards which helped me in my own independent research. He is super patient and responsive. Additionally, he worked with my budget and snowboarding wants/needs.

I have been wanting to get my own gear since I can remember, having borrowed stuff from my dad and buddies as long as I can remember. However, I waited so long because although I have been boarding for a while, I didn’t know any of the terminology or what brands were good, etc. Kim made this process SO easy, and I am more than confident I will like my gear! 10/10 recommend and if I need to get more stuff I know where I am going

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

Kyle was extremely helpful and patient in guiding me through the shopping experience. He sent me multiple videos reviewing snowboards, boots, and bindings based on my needs. He was open to feedback and questions, and ensured that I made the best choice for my needs. I'd highly recommend Kyle for anyone looking for a friendly expert to guide them through buying their snow gear!

I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.
