As a child of Mervin, Lib Tech is no stranger to high-performing innovative snowboarding. The production of both surfboards and snowboards give them an edge in shaping boards with optimum glide, similar to Jones. With a large amount of resources at their disposal, Lib Tech has been able to rigorously test and engineer both the shape of the boards and their manufacturing process. Priding themselves on zero hazardous waste, Lib Tech is committed to sustainable manufacturing practices, ensuring that their boards not only perform at the highest level but also minimize environmental impact. Co-founded by Pete Olsen and Mike Saari, Lib Tech has a long history of practice and expertise, leading to the rise of patented technology like the famed Magne-Traction and ecoIMPACT0 surfboard construction technology. Besides new construction techniques, Mike Owen has contributed to Lib Tech’s reputation for unique shape design like The Skate Banana and other avant garde boards. Owing to this, Lib Tech has gained a reputation of sustainable creativity and experimental innovation.
