Board is sweet but the graphics are not as high quality as the photos suggest! Kinda weird!
Description
experiMENTAL - FREERIDE/DIRECTIONAL
Quand le surf rencontre la poudreuse ! Austen est accro au surf, Matt au snowboard… Nous, on adore les deux, et chez Lib Tech, on vit pour créer des boards de rêve. On a donc lâché ces deux génies du shred, passionnés de technologie, sur un projet de design survolté en collab… Résultat : la Sweet Fish est née !
Inspirée par notre premier projet Lib x ... lost Rocket, la board SF a fait peau neuve avec un cambre directionnel muni d’un nose relevé Mild Early Rise, long et flottant, pour un carving et une flottabilité ultra fluides les jours de neige profonde en 3D.
Une légère courbure dans la tail booste la puissance et promet des sorties de virage vraiment précises sur neige dure, tout en assurant une stabilité maximale lors d’atterrissages sur la poudreuse et de moments exaltants dans la neige profonde.
Le sidecut radial et l’absence de Magne-Traction assurent une glisse simple, propre et fluide.
Initialement disponible en trois tailles soigneusement équilibrées, allant de la taille d’Austen jusqu’au XL de Matt, avec une taille intermédiaire pour les Fit Models. Cette année, la taille intermédiaire a été légèrement ajustée et un nouveau modèle 159 a été ajouté.
C’est la board ultime pour envoyer du lourd dont nous avons tous besoin : le snowboard qui s'élance des falaises, s'éclate sur les coussins de neige, attire les regards dans la queue des remontées et maîtrise l’art du carving.

Flex
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

Oh my days...
I was hesitant to believe the hype, but boy am I glad I bought in. It's all true, I don't need to repeat it. I've had the best turns of my life shredding both deep pow and pristine groomers on this sweet lil fish. Even on the "not so deep pow days" where I brought my daily and dragged its tired edge through rocks, I was daydreaming of what those turns would have felt like if I had brought out the fish. Only knock is on QA- I didn't believe that one guy on YT who said the base doesn't like to hold onto wax, but it's unfortunately true on the board I got. I had a go, multiple legit wax techs had a go, it just wouldn't hold on for more than a good day of riding. The base was also quite uneven as far as a $750 board should be concerned. Eventually I got a mild base grind and intense hotbox, and morale has improved. That said it was still hard writing anything negative because this thing rips so hard.

Do you want to carve groomers? Check. Do you want to float on pow? Double check. Full camber control, snappy, poppy, but the real deal is surfing on PNW snow. What a dream.

After extensive research riding powder while thanking God and trenching groomers while children scream I can confirm that there is a dream built into this sweet fish. While helping reduce the excess sake and sushi in Japan I have had time to reflect on why this board bends the laws of physics. I have given up on trying to understand the secrets this board contains and have given into the my new future - high speed powder wheelies. This board makes me not want to become enlightened just so I can be reincarnated and come back to ride it again and again. Unfortunately, this board might push me over into total harmony with the universe and I will be forced to transcend into a realm where the raw power of the Sweet Fish is must be left behind on earth. Don’t fear this life changing weapon. It’s meant to be yours. P.S. Research for this review was carried out while on ‘The G.R.O.A.T’ The greatest road trip of all time (Probably)
