OK,  I gotta say I was more than skeptical of this idea-  A reverse camber snowboard?  Like a wakeboard?  how is the thing going to turn?  Seemed very gimmicky...  But after I kept hearing how it was winning contests and how everyone that rode it really seemed to like it -  I decided what the hell-  lets get one and ride it,  After 4 days on it-  I have to say-  Lib is onto something here-  The more I ride it the more I like it- I'm pulling it out of the rack more often than my Custom or Vapor,  Its a very easy to ride board-  feels basically just how they describe it in the ad. 

Hardpack/Groomers-  Loose-  Skatey,   it spins really quickly and easily and with the reverse camber the tips are up so its harder to catch an edge while the board is in motion,  Very forgiving-  Styley moves become easy because you arent worried about catching the edges when you screw it up,  the magna-traction rips into the ice/hardpack like a steak knife,  I really like how hard it is to catch an edge- Its not impossible but the board rides noticeably in-between the bindings,  not out at the tip/tail

Powder-   Now here is where the board makes sense-  like a wakeboard or kiteboard the rocker makes the board want to come up and plane on top of the snow,  I was on the 156 in a 14 inch day last week-  I will say I would have liked just a touch more length- maybe the  159 But I wasnt struggling to get the board to float at all,  It rides the tail so easily you don't get the rear leg burn anywhere close to what you get with a "normal" board in the deep

Bomber Runs/Carving-  You wouldn t believe it to look at it-  But the Banana Carves trenches like a mad beast- The board is already pre-flexed in a carving position, it just turns right over and goes- holding the line till you decide not to,  Moguls are a pleasure since the board is always cambered to climb up them instead of dig into them, In the flats and straights I thought it might tend to drift- again not so,  here it rides like any other board

Jumps-  Landing is smooth and easy-,  My fear was the tail would fold-  not the case- plenty of pop from the end of the board

Conclusion-  Lib is definately onto something here-  I predict you'll see a lot more reverse camber boards being manufactured from other companies and more models than just the skate banana from lib,  Demo one if you can-  I think you'll find the same.
