2027 Lib Tech Mayhem Sweetfish Snowboard
The 2027 Lib Tech Mayhem Sweetfish is a surf-inspired directional freeride snowboard created by Matt Biolos, Austen Sweetin, and Lib Tech for deep snow, powerful carving, and creative all-mountain riding. Directional Camber with mild early rise combines a long, floaty nose with a powerful cambered platform for effortless float, strong edge control, and energetic turns. A mild kink in the tail adds power through carved turns and stability on powder landings, while the hand-shaped winged swallowtail reduces tail surface area to help the board settle naturally into soft snow. Finished with a clean radial sidecut, no Magne-Traction®, a fast Sintered Knife Cut Base, and a 7/10 flex, the Sweetfish delivers a smooth, powerful ride with a distinctly surf-inspired feel.
Who is this board best for?
Intermediate to advanced riders looking for a powerful directional freeride board that combines surf-inspired powder float with confident carving performance for deep snow, natural terrain, and resort riding.
