Description
2026 Lib Tech Sweetfish Snowboard
The 2026 Lib Tech Sweetfish is a surf-meets-snow powder slasher shaped by the minds of Matt Biolos and Austen Sweetin. Born from their shared love of deep snow and wave-inspired turns, this directional beast features a long, floaty nose and a winged swallowtail that sinks and slashes through pow with ease. Its truly unique silhouette—with a mild kink tail, oversized nose, and clean radial sidecut—delivers a ride unlike anything else on snow. The directional camber adds energy and drive, while early rise in the nose keeps it buoyant and maneuverable. If you’re chasing storm days and expressive lines, the Sweetfish brings fluidity and flair to every turn.
