LIB Tech has been an industry leader in snowboard production for decades but you may not know they also make incredible surfboards. The folks at LIB have spent the last 10 years perfecting their surfboards working with alternative high performance environmentally friendly materials and their latest creation is truly remarkable for its durability.
“Traditional surf construction has always felt too fragile and the building process is toxic and un-healthy for the planet and crafts people. We knew there had to be a better way. The future is lite, the future is strong! A decade into our journey we are thrilled to take another huge technological step forward.”
Without any further ado, it is our pleasure to introduce the new Mayhem Shapes with ECO IMPACTO 2 LITE LIB TECH construction:
“Introducing our all new lighter, stronger ecolMPACTO 2 Lite construction featuring our new rugged Hammerbox Fin Technology “the best in the biz” and new Ecolite/E-Lite upcycled foam wrapped in pressure treated Hexylite thermo fusion power panels, G-Glass and Magnesium fiber fused in our plant based Bio Matrix resin system. NOW 1 Ib LIGHTER!”
If you are used to traditional surfboard construction, your heart may skip a beat with this demonstration video including a mountain biker doing a wheelie over a brand new surfboard but LIB’s new boards are built rugged. While not “ding-proof” they are stout and feature a urethane technology that is “skateboard wheel strong.” Learn more about new LIB surfboards below.
WHAT IF OUR SURFBOARDS GOT LIGHTER STRONGER AND BETTER LOOKING…THEY JUST DID!
A decade into our quest to build a better surfboard we are thrilled to announce another huge technological and performance step forward… Introducing our all new lighter, stronger ECO IMPACTO 2 LITE construction featuring our new rugged urethane Hammer Box Fin Technology and new Eco Lite up-upcycled foam wrapped in pressure treated Hexylite thermo fusion panes, G+Glass and Magnesium fiber fused in our plant based Bio Matrix resin system.
What does it all mean? Our boards are on average a pound lighter, our Hammerbox fin boxes are the toughest in the industry. We are expanding on our Environmentally Nicer materials and process and even more Dang Difficult to Ding… all this and Handcrafted in the USA near Canada!
“The new boards feel so good under the arm. the lighter weight and quicker response makes my surfing better every session. We already have the environmentally nice build process and materials in place and our boards are so tough they really do allow you to relax your lifestyle as a surfer. Adding the Hammerboxes and getting even lighter puts Lib Tech Surf in a class of its own. We didn’t want to be in the surf industry unless we could really contribute something significant and with this construction advancement it really feels like we did it!” – Pete Saari
“We have been testing the new construction in the cold cobblestone beaches of the PNW and the rocky urchin infested heat of Baja and the boards are holding up awesome… ask Rocco from Surfincabo.” – Mike Olson
