How the Skate Banana Revolutionized the Snowboard

"Anything that has a banana contour is just going to make snowboarding more fun." 

Yep, seems about right. I'm a skier through and through, but even I kind of want to ride this board. It's the 10 year anniversary of the Lib Tech Skate Banana, and when a board is so good they make a movie about it, you know it's a big deal. 

Who remembers when snowboards were basically two-by-fours? I don't, but I bet Travis Rice does.  The Lib Tech crew had a huge impact on how that cambered board eventually turned into the smeary, flowy, fun, playful thing boarders know and ride today. 

Also, this. 

MERVIN!!!
