They generally have a softer flex, and the TNT base. The core of the Original Power boards are 75% Aspen, and 25% Paulownia. There are a few main groups that each Lib Tech board falls into, that shows its main core/base material/fiberglass and any extra features. This profile gives you the best edge hold, pop and stability – so it is often found on their more aggressive, stiffer boards. I would guess that after years of pushing rocker/hybrid profiles they didn’t want to make it look like they were taking it all back by making camber boards. C3Īlthough the graphics will make it look like there is rocker between your feet (it is almost too small to see), in reality this is just a traditional camber profile. The C2e version is made to be a less aggressive ride, while the C2x is one step closer to a traditional camber feel. On top of the regular C2, there are also two sub versions of the C2 camber: C2e and C2x.īasically the C2e is the “easy” version, and the C2x is the “eXtreme” version. C2Ī hybrid camber profile, that has reverse camber between your feet, with camber out towards the nose and tail of the board. Although it might be there, when you look at an Original Banana board up close, the “mild camber” sections are so small, I would say they are pretty much flat. Although the original had mega rocker, the current design has rocker between your feet, and technically some mild camber from your feet out towards the nose and the tail of the board. This used to be called BTX, and this is the easiest to ride profile that they have. In a very simplified way, there is rocker (Original Banana), hybrid (C2) and camber (C3). Overviews of other brands: Capita, Jones, Never Summer, Bataleon, GNU, Korua Shapes, Salomon, Nitro, Burton Lib Tech Camber Profiles I think that is a great thing, you can’t really beat camber for getting more pop, better edge hold (without needing Magne-Traction) and speed, especially on their more aggressive models. Almost all brands have been adding more regular camber options to the line, and Lib Tech have added their version (C3) to quite a few models, as well as changing some of their popular hybrid boards to C3. All the regular boards that you would expect to see in the Lib Tech line are here, with a few older models having some nice changes.
