Overview:
Big riders, rejoice—the Lib Tech Skunk Ape C3 is built specifically with you in mind. Featuring a redesigned floaty nose and lightweight Horsepower construction, this board is a favorite among larger riders looking for high-performance handling without compromise. Whether you're sending it through the park, laying deep carves, or ducking into tight tree lines, the Skunk Ape delivers serious power and playful freedom—without toe drag. (Though your knuckles might still brush the snow.)
Rocker Type:
C3 Camber Profile – Powerful end-to-end camber underfoot delivers maximum stability, pop, and edge hold, while a mild rocker between the feet adds just enough freestyle freedom and float. Designed for aggressive riders who want precision and control at speed. Favored by pros like Eric Jackson, Jamie Lynn, and Fredi Kalbermatten.
Flex:
Medium – Stiff – Responsive and supportive for high-speed charging, yet with enough give to stay lively and maneuverable.
Core:
Horsepower (HP) Construction – 60% Aspen / 40% Paulownia
An eco-friendlier, lighter construction that reduces weight while increasing strength and dampening. Smoother ride, better for the planet.
