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!!

Monkey Bars!
Originally posted at www.lib-tech.com on Mar 27, 2024Im 6’1 215lbs, size 13, 43 years old and I ride the SA II 161w. I grew up skate boarding in the 80s on the west coast and The Skunk Ape II reminds me of my old Santa Cruz board of my youth, with the neon rails and slime ball wheels n all. This is my first brand new snowboard and this board doesn’t disappoint. It took a couple of days on the mountain to get used to the sensitivity and coordination of the board. But once you do….oh boy. It is like a dream. A straight arrow on the groomers, then on steep terrain it clings to mountains and stops turns ice i to powder, causing less injuries. Best part is that I will never get stuck powder ever again! Riding switch takes a little finessing but once you figure out the geometry of the board to your advantage, it becomes second nature. I took this board from Tahoe to Colorado and then switch down a half pipe, this season. Resorts beware of this beast of board comes up their lifts. This board roars all over the mountain like King Kong!

I was looking to purchase a new setup (snowboard, boots, bindings, and googles) for the upcoming season. Everything I have is very worn out. The last time I purchased a new setup was ten years ago, and I did not know where to start. So, I went through the "find your snowboard" quiz and was matched with Mike. From there we were able to really dial in my setup. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you Mike!

I'm getting back into snowboarding after a lonnngg hiatus and Leif knew exactly what I needed for both my skill level and the exact mountain I will be spending time at this winter. I had a pretty small budget considering the cost of gear and he found me a board and bindings way under budget. I was thrilled. I was also delighted that I got a personalized video describing my options. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I can in knowing nothing about snowboards and I gave him a weird task of trying to find a board that would work for both me and my brother at different weights. I appreciate how happy he was to help and how he kept checking in on me wanting to help.

I only started my search just recently and I felt Gregory gave me some great insight in selecting the best options for my needs. I can’t wait to hit the slopes this season with my new gear! This is my first time purchasing gear for myself and I feel this was best way I could have went about it. Thank you Gregory for the great recommendations and giving me exactly what I was looking for!

Jay is Awesome!
5 /5
Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to snowboards. If you really want to dive into the differences between the materials, and engineering behind snowboards Jay is the guy to get into these conversations with. I’ve been riding for 25 plus years, and at this point in my life, I really appreciate Jay being there to just talk about the different nuances of snowboarding. I feel he was really able to understand the type of riding I like to do, and where i want to take my riding, and made excellent gear recommendations.

Josh helped me buy my second real snowboard. I was upgrading from a board I purchased on craigslist and rode for several seasons, and Josh was very patient and helpful talking through riding styles and making recommendations. After we narrowed it down to a few options, he even made a video talking through pros/cons of each of the boards - all around an incredibly helpful dude!

Casey is super knowledgeable and speaks from experience. She helped me make the be decision for my purchase and I couldn’t be more excited to head into the season with my new board. Her recommendations were all awesome and she helped me find the best set up that fit into my (small) budget. She was kind and a pleasure to work with.

5 /5
I was looking for a new snowboard. I knew I wanted to get something that excelled in powder but I wasn't sure which board to get. Taylor helped me narrow my selection down to a few options and I ultimately went with his top recommendation. It's really helpful to get a second opinion. Thanks for the help, Taylor!
