Lib Tech builds this one as a pro model around Jamie Lynn’s long association with the brand, and the 96 designation refers to the shape it revives rather than to a length. It is a directional freestyle board, meaning the nose and tail are not identical and the stance sits back from centre.
A directional freestyle shape is built for riders who spend the day going one way – trees, natural hits, powder days – rather than riding switch half the time. That makes it a poor first board and a very good second one for somebody who already knows which direction they ride.
Lib Tech is a Mervin Manufacturing brand, building boards and skis in Sequim, Washington since 1977.
