The board that started it all. The Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX Snowboard was the originator of Lib Tech's signature Banana rocker technology. By placing cambered pockets under each foot with a rockered section in the middle, the Skate Banana lets you pop and pivot at will, enjoying all the benefits of both rocker and camber. With Magne-Traction enhanced edging on groomers and a park ready twin profile, this board is simple, intuitive, and ready to do it all in the resort.

Base
Eco Sublimated TNT – The highest density UHMW and fastest base material without wax. TNT features a unique dual-layer thermal fusion “phase alteration” process which aligns the molecular chains into an engineered crystalline structure. The titanium layer reflects light and heat, keeping the base at or near snow temperatures. The crystal layer is the fastest base material without wax, making it a very consistent sliding surface in a wide variety of conditions and wax wear lifecycles. Wax to conditions as normal, but the board will remain fast even as wax wears. TNT produces optimal graphic reproduction with the proprietary water based eco sublimation process. Easy to maintain easy to repair.
Edges
Magne-Traction® – Strategically located edge serrations provide unreal edge hold and control in all conditions. Turns ice into powder.
Topsheet
Eco Sublimated Poly Top – High strength, impact resistant, lightweight dimensionally stable UV and temperature resistant top material decorated using an environmentally friendly eco sublimation process.
