Description

ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL TWIN

Our experiMENTAL Division’s big guy “dream board” project gets a nose job! Constant testing and refinement by Trevor Phillips, Krush Kulesza, Neil Green and Kurt Jensen make this the best larger gentlemen’s power freestyle stick on the planet. A slightly more relaxed longer nose shape for pow float. This ape is absolutely resort ready... hit the rails or put it on rail and trench, your toes won’t drag but your knuckles might. Built in ultra-light HP construction for easy on the front foot chair rides.

Flex

How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

Big Banana Stinky Ballz

I've been lucky enough to ride this model since it was released! It continues to amaze me what they are capable of still to this day! All time best big boy board in my book after over 30 years of knuckle dragging. Love how the guys at marvin keep stepping up the game! Also really stoked about the release if its chubby cousin the Stump Ape! Amazing board in the deep pow and trees! Also amazingly fun to carve on in transition terrain like the Holybowly. Both are all around great big boy boards!! Thanks Lib tech!!

SKunk APE!

Love this board. Super easy to stomp landings and pillows. Excellent board. Thanks for making it! I have 13 feet and weigh 230 and my 165 floats me in the pow with an 8 pack and a bottle in the backpack. The only thing I would like changed would be sintered base instead of tnt. The tnt is good but sintered is a bit faster. Thanks.

I gone Ape for the Skunk

Truly love this board. Legit versatility in all conditions and required little to no “getting used to it “ break in period. Is it winter yet?

All mtn big guy destroyer board

The Skunkape has been my go-to all mountain board for many years now. It can handle any condition you put it in. I’ve got a size 12 foot and larger frame, there is not much out there that fits like the ape. Thanks Lib!
