I'm 6'4, 300 lbs, with a size 15 boot. I can shred on this board, my toes or heels don't drag, and this board holds an edge like a samurai sword.
Description
ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL TWIN
La Skunk Ape est le projet de « board de rêve » de notre équipe expériMENTALE. Cette planche a été régulièrement testée et améliorée par Trevor Phillips, Krush Kulesza, Neil Green et Kurt Jensen. C’est la plus large et la meilleure planche de freestyle pour homme de la planète en termes de puissance. La forme de nose légèrement plus détendue et longue permet de flotter sur la poudreuse. Ce monstre est absolument prêt pour la station… Mettez-le sur les rails, vos pieds fileront tout droit mais il faut que le reste suive ! La board est maintenant encore plus légère grâce à sa nouvelle construction à pointe fine HP.

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.

Big Toys for Big Boys
I’ve been riding The Apes for over a decade and multiple models. At 6’2” and 220lbs the 165W has become my quiver killer for the last 2yrs. This board STOMPS EVERYTHING. Competition included. If you’re a Big Boy like myself, do yourself a favour.. Pull those socks up, grab yourself an Ape and drag those knuckles like a BOSS!! Great customer service puts the cherry on top!! Thanks Lib Tech..

New favorite board
Got the 161w, and it’s my new quiver killer! It’s wide enough for my size 12 feet, and it’s ride is super responsive but not too much. It’s a blast to ride!

Game Changer
Years of stuffing my size 14+ foot into smaller boots just to avoid that toe scrape and heel drag and skip almost mad me want to become a skier. God forbid. But alas Lib Tech saved me. I instantly upped my game. Deep carving turns at mach speeds without the fear that my rail was going to slip sending me into a line of five-year-olds with their mountain guide. And now I stick on the extreme steep stuff like a mountain goat without the fear of freefalling when my boot kicks my rail off the hard pack. Now I have a quiver of 170UW Skunk Apes. Three of them and they are all my favorite. But what I really need is the new one.

Killer Board
This is a truly great board. I grew up surfing and this board acts the way I always hoped a board would act. Carves like a champ, stable, stiff, and fast. Plow through crap like a hot knife through butter. I’m 6 ft, size 12 feet, and 200lbs without gear. I got the 161 and it is perfect
