Dream board
I have been dreaming about getting this board and having it in person makes me even more eager to ride it! Plus I could stare at the graphics on this thing all day long and see something new every time.

FREESTYLE / ALL MOUNTAIN - TWIN
20 years of Skate Banana!
”It feels like yesterday that we turned snowboarding upside and elevated the fun meter to include an entirely new “hybrid’ rocker camber category with this sweet, grippy, slippery good times all terrain plantain.” - Pete Saari
“The rocker between your feet counterintuitively fulcrums tip and tail pressure to your contacts creating a dynamic camber and stability on hard pack and pure float in the pow” - Mike Olson
“The Magne-Traction® serrated edges with the grippiest teeth between your feet add knobby tire moto mountain bike edge hold and control in the soft pack and act like little grippy mini precision ice skates on firm snow and ice.” - Steven Cobb
Since we launched it, the Skate Banana has won countless contests, awards, stacked NBD clips, prevented over 15000 scorpions, inspired countless imitation variations and miles of smiles.
If you are new to the game, the skate banana is the most fun, user friendly, resort minded, ATV freestyle board ever to hit the slopes. Our 20 year model stays true to the original revolutionary award winning “Banana Tech” rocker/camber hybrid contour that redefined modern snowboard design. This fun, easy to ride, high performance dream stick rips hardpack, carves ice, jibs, and floats effortlessly in powder. Loaded with features like an FSC® certified Aspen/Paulownia core, sintered knife cut base, Magne-Traction® serrated edges, this is the perfect board to progress on whether you are just getting started, know the game and love good times or are a pro like Brandon Reis stacking clips.

Amazing board
I’m so excited for this board, I’ve owned two other bananas and they have never let me down. Fun, ripping, everything and more. Can’t wait for my new skate Banana to arrive.
Raspy
Absolutely great board
I've owned this board for 3 seasons, and I absolutely love it. Fun board, shreds almost everything really well. Definitely a daily kind of board, but i wouldn't call it an all mountain aggressive board. Overall an fantastic, well rounded board. Super fun at low speed / in the park, but can get a little scary at higher speeds. Bounces through variable snow really well. Edge hold is phenomenal. Not a true powder board, but it's floaty enough to get through it pretty well. Overall, this thing is my go to non back country board, and I've never had a bad day on it. The reputation of this legendary ripstick certainly agrees.
Svicar
Unbelievable
Rode it today for the first time. I didn't expect to grow on me so quickly, from the first get go, I felt as if it was made exclusively for me. So playful yet so powerful. It rips through whatever you throw at it, but with buttery additude and confidence, that your can download anything you want. If you are looking for a playful, all-rounder, look no more.

Freaking awesome
This is the best of the best. Used to ride a camber board and switched to this banana from LibTech. It's like in the movie clip, it makes snowboarding more fun than it already is! Which is almost impossible. When in doubt, choose this one. No dissappointment !!
