Description
2026 Lib Tech Lib Rig Snowboard
Austen Sweetin’s Lib Rig is back and more dialed than ever for 2026, with expanded sizing and the same powerful, floaty ride. Designed to charge steep lines, blast pow stashes, and rail through resort laps, this Mid Volume Shift board blends control and confidence with smooth, effortless float. Directional camber through the tail and early rise up front create a lively, responsive feel that excels in deep snow and still grips hard on firmer terrain. If you’re chasing big turns, deep days, and full-mountain domination, the Lib Rig has your back.
Mid Volume Shift – Ride this board 1–2 cm longer than your standard board length.
