This board is tailor-made for larger riders who need a board that matches their size and strength. If you're an XL rider looking for a board that offers stability, control, and float in all mountain conditions, the Skunk Ape II is your perfect match. It's ideal for those who love freestyle but need a board that can handle the entire mountain with ease.
Why I recommend these
Wide width, no drag
Nose shape for float
C2 Banana camber
Magnetraction grip
Expert verdict
The Lib Tech Skunk Ape II Snowboard is a beast for big riders who crave power and precision. With its wide width, it ensures no toe drag, even on the deepest carves. The unique nose shape is a game-changer in powder, offering float that feels like you're gliding on clouds. The C2 Banana camber and Magnetraction edges provide a perfect blend of control and grip, making icy conditions a breeze. It's a dream board for larger gentlemen who want to dominate the mountain with style and ease. Just be ready for some serious shredding!

Our experiMENTAL Division’s big guy “dream board”. Constant testing and refinement by Trevor Phillips, Krush Kulesza, Neil Green and Kurt Jensen make this the best larger gentlemen’s power freestyle stick on the planet. A slightly more relaxed longer nose shape for pow float. This ape is absolutely resort ready... hit the rails or put it on rail and trench, your toes won’t drag but your knuckles might. Built in ultra-light HP construction for easy on the front foot chair rides.

Originally posted at www.lib-tech.com on Jul 10, 2024I ride the SKUNK APE 173 UW for its length, width, and all mountain maneuverability!
It’s super fun and helps me lead the charge on those crisp deep POW mornings…
The boards, light, strong and rails around groomers and even ice thanks to the Magnetraction!
I’m a big ape myself, not huge but coming in around 6 foot four, 215 Lbs with a size 12 claw…
I love the upgrades and technology and design for this model and will continue to ride LIB TECH SKUNK APE boards for the Long Haul!!

Spencer is dope
5 /5
Spencer is awesome! He helped me out a ton finding a board. He was able to answer all my questions and recorded a video with all the different types of riding and the boards that go with them. He also explained each of the boards he suggested and why and helped me narrow down the size. Thanks again my dude I appreciate the help!

RICK WAS THE BEST HELP!!!
5 /5
He's extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of snowboarding (female/male gear, beginner/expert, mobility restrictions, etc.). He listened to all my concerns and questions and responded in a timely manner each time! He even checked up on me and asked to help me through the process of making a choice in gear. He never tried to up sell me or force me into something I didn't like/the more expensive or newer version. He only made recommendations based on my specific needs and wants. For which, I am extremely grateful. He was an absolute delight to chat with and discuss snowboarding (amongst other topics). I've never felt so confident in my snowboarding gear. I appreciate all the help I've gotten from Rick. I will absolutely be seeking his expertise in the future when it comes to this sport!

Eric has given me recommendations for a few years now. This is the first year I purchased, but i’ve always appreciated his expertise, honesty, and excitement. He’s introduced me to boards I wouldn’t have thought to purchase and really helped teach me about new tech that I haven’t heard of before. Very excited to try out my new magne traction board on the icy east coast!!

I have skied for many years but always rented. It makes sense for a variety of reasons to finally buy but every time I looked online I felt overwhelmed but no time to go to a store to talk to someone in person. Having Soren guide me through the process was exactly what I needed to cut through the myriad options and find what worked in my budget and for my needs. Will definitely recommend to others!

VINCE IS THE ABSOLUTE GOAT🐐
5 /5
I mean, have you heard of Vince. Cause if you haven’t then boy oh boy, you truly are missing out. This dude was by far the best curator/beautiful human I have ever encountered through my telephone screen. Words can’t describe the joy he brought me along with his amazing smile. I mean are we serious. Having this man answer questions behind a phone screen is a disservice to humanity. This guy needs a ginormous raise or a massive promotion to become the spokesperson for this company. I’d invite him to my wedding if I was to ever have one. Dude definitely has a future in owning his own company or just being an all around amazing dude. We need more Vince’s in the world cause to be honest there truly just are not enough. Vince 2028 🦅🦅🦅🦅(I’ve never left a review for anyone ever but this man deserved it🙂↕️🙂↕️)

Ben was amazing! Thoughtful, knowledgeable, and caring!
5 /5
Ben was incredible to work with in selecting my first pair of skis. He was able to not only demonstrate immense amounts of knowledge on skiing and Taylor fitting equipment to my particular level of keys, but was also extremely caring and patient with helping me feel reassured in picking the right key for me. Ben was responsive and always was open to answering any question that I had about each ski no matter how trivial which made me feel confident and excited about the choice that I ended up picking then is extremely thoughtful and I would highly recommend working with this incredible expert.

Kyle understood my language
5 /5
You know when a ski isn’t quite right and one you used to have was perfect? Well, I used a lot of words that I’m not sure are used to describe skiing, and he completely understood me. The road led back to a brand I love and a ski that seemed to be the new and improved version of one that I lost years ago. Although I was ultimately ready to spend whatever it took to find the best ski, he worked with me for all ranges… full price and sales. I feel I was able to make an educated decision. His written description of the skis were all super helpful. I can’t wait to get these babies under foot.

Great. Knows his stuff. Great recommendations. But I just wasn’t comfortable with short board. But when he got back to me with Carbon Supermatics, he scored with me.

We’ve been messaging back and forth for over a month and as I gave him new information about my background and how I was progressing in snowboarding he continued to give me suggestions until I finally made a decision based on his recommendations. He was very encouraging and helpful the entire time!
