I have the 2012 161 model, but ain't nothing changed but the graphics. This is a great board, but it may take more than a few runs to get used to. I rode a bunch last year and this year and I feel like it is just getting broken in. It is definitely on the stiff side. I weigh 205 and am a fast power-carver-surf-slash-style rider. I mainly bomb and carve the groomers and hunt the pow and thread trees. I do ride natural and switch. I prefer natural hits but I also like to throw some jibs and hit some park jumps, etc. The only drawback of this board is that with the rocker hump between the feet, it twitches side to side when bombing it flat base style on the groomers, and you can feel the Magnatraction lumps trying to grab. I am more comfortable keeping it on a rail at higher speeds. Now that the board is getting more broken in that effect seems to be improving some. Or maybe I am just used to it. This is my first board that was not a true all camber; so for me it is a welcome to the future of new concaves type deal. This is pretty close to the perfect all mountain shred stick.

I'm 5'7'' and weight about 165 and wanted a shorter, more playful board, so went with the 153 Attack Banana this year. I usually ride a 157 - 159 and was amazed how well this shorty did in the deep stuff. Worked great all over the mountain, was stable at speed, and a blast in the park. Perfectly playful flex with enough stiffness in the tail for landings. Was a little apprehensive about the extruded base not being fast enough but this thing is a little rocket! This might be due to the shorter size/less surface area. Would definitely recommend it as a great all mountain board.

Why did I ever go away from Lib? It was always my board of choice until some friends hooked me up with a few freebies. Never quite satisfied and bit the bullet to buy the Attack Banana. A huge difference in stability, control and responsiveness. Rode it on Whistler Blackcomb for 3 days on spring corn down low and on hard-packed glacier conditions up high. Makes those days when you have to ride groomers enjoyable. Hoping for some late season pow to test it out.

Can't believe how quick and much more stable this board is compared to my old one. But then again, it'd been 10 years since I'd upgraded...

The Attack Banana is a great all mountain board.However, it was not for me. The board didn't seem to have any particular positive attributes that stood out. It was decent at high speeds, decent in the park (especially for spinning), and pretty good in the powder. Although it was supposed to have soft landings, I did not find that attribute in this board. If for whatever reason you like a little flex in your board, ie. riding bumps, pressing, etc, I wouldn't reccomend it.

Having a board called the Attack Banana is a sweet deal in itself. I got this board this year and have already taken it out five times. From park to trees to groomers, I am not worried where I am riding or with who. This board does it all for me, and does it well.
Definitely a good buy.

This is a really good all mountain ripper EC2 tech suits kind of like having all the tech from Lib but a mellow version. This board isn't too stiff or too soft. Very good flex.. with a little bot stiffer tail. I could see myself riding this from the steeps to the park to more pow.

Do you have any idea how sweet orange juice tastes when it's been freshly squeezed by Denzel Washington himself? Not half as sweet as the Attack Banana by Lib Tech. The flex on this board is perfect for the all-mountain rider that truly rides ALL over the mountain - groomers, dense trees, deep pow, and even a little park. The tip and tail are softened just enough to make the board playful, while the elliptical camber under foot gives the board unbelievable throttle and edge control. The price tag is a little high, but the Attack Banana is on its own plane of do-it-all performance. There's no doubt this board gets the coveted "cherished all-mountain rip stick" award.

Rips. Therefore, when on this, I ripped. So you'd probably rip too. Demoed this guy mostly down groomers, with a litte crud and trees sprinkled in - no problems to be had. Road the 153 (I'm 5'10"ish, 160ish) and it seemed to be pretty stable going mach fast. The Magna-traction locked in and didn't feel catchy to me at all. This had a good amount of pop off little bumps, also had a little play - so I am sure a guy who charges harder than I could use this in the park, but I would say the true habitat you'd find aggressive bananas would be all mountain, off-trail stuff. Bit on the stiffer side - tipping to away from the noodle. This definitely has good control with some float that'd be wonderful dropping cliffs or bonking trees. Today, I learned how to secretly slice a banana without peeling it. Just another piece of evidence why bananas are awesome. Monkeys eat'em too. Therefore, anything banana associated should be awesome as well. get some.

Killer playful board for all styles of riding. This board is a poppy mid-flexing board. Hold its own in the crud with the magne-traction and super fun in the pow. Will excel in the park or off your backcountry booter. And then later in the day when you decide to hike the freeride line you have been staring at all day, it will get it done!
