Lib Tech Skate Banana 2025

The K2 Excavator is the perfect short, wide snowboard when you are looking to dig some deep trenches into some groomers, or glide effortlessly through powder on your next trip. With a wider width and 20mm of taper the responsive and damp underfoot core combined with tip to tail carbon stringers keeps the Excavator snappy and initiates turns like no other, making it the perfect hybrid groomer/powder powerhouse which will not disappoint on the mountain.

* Due to the volume shift of this board, we recommend you select a size 4-8cm shorter than your regular length snowboard

Shape: Directional Camber 

Flex: 7/10 

Base: Sintered 

Details:

Board Type: All Mountain and Powder

Core: S1 Core

Created to be more damp underfoot and incredibly strong, the S1 core is constructed from Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia. Tip to tail Bamboo add snap, durability, and damping underfoot is balanced by lightweight Paulownia in the middle, tip and tail of the board. Aspen and Bamboo are placed at 30 degree angles to increase strength and add response underfoot.

ICG 10 Biax Glass

Inserts: 2x4

Integrating tip to tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass lay-ups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.

Carbon Power Fork

These power forks are strategically shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing the width towards the tail, this allows more energy to be created the harder the tail is dug into the snow.

Built from the hardest and fastest Sintered base material on the market, the 4001 base holds wax longer than other sintered bases for a faster, smoother ride. 

SnoPhobic Topsheet

The Coda is a highly versatile, big mountain twin, with a shape, flex, and build that supports speed, big landings, and deeper snow. This quiver cornerstone features Arbor's 'Rise Above Plastic RAP' topsheet - a sustainably sourced powerply, with zero plastic. The new technology delivers a highly-responsive ride in a lighter, more responsible way. The System Camber design offers a poppy ride with crisp, fully engaged performance.

Shape: Camber

Flex: 7/10

Base: Sintered

Details:

• All Mountain
• The Camber System from Arbor is a parabolic take on positive camber that progressively reduces the amount of camber towards the tip and tail. This ensures your contact points don't dig too hard into the snow, preventing edge catch, making it easier to turn and spin, and giving you a poppy ride with fully engaged performance.
• A mid-stiff flex that is perfect for hard charging riders that need to get the most from their boards, but still like it to have a bit of play.
• This board is a twin but has a directional shaped nose and tail, so it can ride switch with no problems but will provide better float going forwards.
• Grip Tech is a combination of three separate sidecut radii in the nose, tail, and centre of the board, effectively giving the board an additional two contact points. This provides extra grip and control in all conditions, and also makes turning smoother, easier, and less catchy, without losing performance.
• Uprise Fenders - Due to the addition of Grip Tech, it's possible to slightly lift the outside contact points, reducing catch and improving tracking and turn initiation.
• The most progressive core from Arbor, the Double Barrel II Core is made from Poplar reinforced with two Bamboo struts running down the edges of the board for added torsional response and stability.
• A Triax and Biax layup that provides superior versatility over standard Triax or Biax layups.
• Sintered means fast and tough base material that is quick in all snow conditions.
• Hand Dyed Ash Powerply - This creates the style Arbor is known for, but isn't just for looks. Power Ply is a sustainably sourced layer of wood or bamboo that acts like an added layer of fibreglass due to a labor intensive process that results in increased performance, finish quality, board life, and less reliance on man made materials.
• R.A.P. Topless Technology - Built in a way that eliminates the need for a Bio-Plastic Topsheet, which makes it a lighter, more eco-friendly ride.
• 360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls - These 360° sidewalls eliminate the need for tip fill, enhancing durability and improving board life.
• Recycled Steel Edges - These highly durable recycled steel edges promote sustainability without sacrificing quality.
• Entropy Bio-Resin - This board is made with Entropy Bio-Resin, which is a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin that doesn't affect performance. The ingredients that go into Entropy Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and reduces the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% (when compared to a petroleum-based equivalent).
• Wend Natural Wax - This board is waxed with Wend Natural Wax and is ready to ride straight out of the shop.
• Factory Tuned - This snowboard is factory de-tuned at the tip and tail, so you can go riding straight away.
• Recycled ABS - ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Arbor improve the sustainability of this snowboard by using recycled plastic.
