Lib Tech Skunk Ape
The Lib Technologies Skunk Ape Magnetraction Wide Snowboard is the freestyle answer for those with big feet. The Skunk Ape features Magnetraction, giving you increased traction on those icy walls. The Skunk Ape also features a TNT base for speed, UHMW sidewalls for rugged durability and a honeycomb wood Air Core to keep the boards overall weight low since there is a lot of surface area there. This board is built for bigger riders and isn’t going to buckle under you weight like many other boards and has a correct sandwich construction for low spin weight.
If you have big feet or are a heavier rider and have been drooling over Magnetraction, this board is for you. The Lib Tech Skunk Ape is built like a brick shithouse. This thing isn’t going to snap in two when you land funny. Lib Tech makes quality boards and it is good to see them offering MTX on this board. The skunk ape comes in sizes: 157, 162, 167, 172, 180 and a gigantic 190. All of those sizes are wide and all are equipped with Magnetraction.

A friend of mine has maybe 6-7 Lip tech boards.A month ago i ask’d him if I can try his Skunk Ape and when I made my first move on the snow,I fell in love.I searched a couple of times in Internet and I found it on sale FOR ONLY 368$ and just a hour ago I ordered it.The perfect board for a large man,very good for halfpipes and parks and not less on the streets.And if you try it I know that you will love it.

I’m a 240lb man with 10.5 boots, and have found the board that rocks!!!! Riding the board is like floating on air…carves well, and is very stable at high speeds.

I ordered a skunk ape from Melvin Manufacturing for the sole purpose that they gave me an incredible deal on it. I broke a TRS Lib Tech and wanted a bigger board so I got the Skunk Ape. It is an incredible ride for people who love to rip powder, ride the steeps, and drop cliffs. However, be careful in the trees because it’s not the fastest to turn. I went from a 162 to a 172 Skunk Ape so that might be the problem right there. People keep saying it is a great freestyle board, but I would recommend this board for ripping the back country and stomping big cliffs.
