Lib Tech Skunk Ape II C2X Snowboard 2023
Model Info
Product Info
The Lib Tech Skunk Ape II C2X Snowboard is a big resort board for big resort guys. This board was once a small child, a park rat twin that liked to bounce around on rails and jumps. But then one day, it started growing. First it grew big around the middle. But not fat, more like those dudes that lift barrels and rocks and stuff in strongman competitions. Sturdy. Then it got tall. Lanky through the trunk and with a big long nose. Finally it got strong as hell, and hairy, and just a little bit malodorous. The Skunk Ape was born. Nowadays it can be seen swinging from trees throughout the ski area, leaving monstrous bomb holes underneath powdery cliffs, denting downrails in the terrain park, and leaving trenches the size of snowmobile tracks across the groomers.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
