Expert reviews 2
The new twin version, unlike the directional camber and rocker models that came before. It has a less aggressive, more forgiving, more playful personality — if you know how hard the original boards of this name charge, it almost does not fit the name. A great option if you want something easier and more mellow to get around the mountain on, but if you come expecting a hard charger you might be a little disappointed.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A centred true twin. Unlike the directional camber and rocker models that carried this name before, it has a less aggressive, more forgiving, more playful personality.

The Lib Tech Skunk Ape is a classic wide board for large intermediate and advanced riders with big feet (size 13+), carrying a quiver-killer character that handles every terrain from park to powder. Two options, C2 or classic camber, plus Magnetraction edge technology give it stable performance across varied snow. For big riders with limited options, it's the optimal solution that solves everything with a single board.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Two bend options are offered: C2 (rocker between the feet with camber at nose and tail) and classic camber (traditional camber between the contact points). C2 gives a catch-free, floaty feel with power underfoot, while classic camber delivers strong edge grip and an aggressive riding character.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-stiff flex with enough stiffness for larger riders, and a basalt alloy blended glass that balances softness with kickback and pop.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A medium-stiff flex and powerful edge performance suit intermediate to advanced riders, and it's designed especially for larger riders with big feet (size 13+).
Good
- ✓Offers a full lineup of wide and ultra-wide sizes for large riders with big feet (size 13+)
- ✓Magnetraction (7 contact point serrated edges) delivers powerful carving performance even in icy conditions
- ✓Has quiver-killer versatility that handles varied terrain including park, powder and all-mountain
- ✓A centred knife-cut base secures fast speed and high durability
Not so good
- —Every size is wide-only, so it isn't suitable for ordinary riders with smaller feet
- —Length options starting at 157cm limit the choices for smaller riders
