When Lib Tech sets out to go retro, things can get a little confusing. Way ahead of the game for decades, any attempt to go back in time can look like a quantum leap forward with these guys…behold the Lib Tech Steely D C3 Snowboard, their new floaty cambered deep snow spooner. This baby comes in one size, 167cm, so there’s no question about its aims: this is a board made for high speeds. In deep snow, the spoon nose helps achieve this with unreal float and easy turn initiation. On hardpack, the Magne-Traction and progressive sidecut take over. Everything old is new again, especially with Lib Tech. Looking forward to the future-ready past! Whooooooooosh.
