Lib-Tech Men's Stump Ape Wide Snowboard 2023

Lib's in house Skunk Ape T-Man’s dream big guy short wide directional shape. Lots of floaty surface area and a gentle entry soft snow eating nose. Agile in tight steep technical terrain and dark mossy forests and pow meadows. Lightweight HP construction for quickness and easy on the front foot chair rides. Amazing stability in pow at any speed and no toe drag while you knuckle drag the resort.

VOLUME SHIFTED, RIDE THIS BOARD 5-10 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD.

“The Stump Ape is such a fun surfy short wide snowboard. First of all, when you are used to riding a 169 Skunk Ape and strap into a 157 Stump Ape, you instantly laugh at the length diff erence. Then after you ride it, you wonder why you ever needed a longer snowboard to ride the steep and deep. If you like ripping pow in the trees this is the ultimate board, it allows you to turn on a dime esp. in those tight tree situations. Bonus: it can also rip groomers and hardpack.” - Mervin Director of Ecommerce, Trevor Phillips

The perfect rocker/camber hybrid. Shortened rocker between inserts and camber underfoot with rockered tip/tail for control/precision/float.

Shape: Directional Tapered

Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment. The tail sinks in pow for better float and quicker turns.

A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.
