Description

The Lib Tech Surfboards LT by Alex Lopez is a great new take on the mid length genre of surfboards.
The LT comes hot on the heels of his super successful Terrapin model, which is a single fin mid introduced to the Lib range recently. The 6’8 LT is a little bit longer version of a board that Alex made for himself during lockdown, he was looking for a board that would have the feeling of a longer rail line and of course paddle power but also quick and responsive when the waves were good. It has a fair amount of rocker and carries a little bit of foam through the nose and under your chest for paddle and glide but is pretty foiled out through the tail, all with the idea of performing when there’s a little bit of shape and push. Try it with your favourite upright twin to maximise its performance.
The LT is a mid length with added bang for your buck, smooth in the small stuff and lively and responsive as conditions improve we’ll sit it in the mid length; category for now. Sizing is easy, there is only one size, the 6 8!
As surfers we’ve all dreamed about owning a high performance surfboard with all the positive attributes of a traditional PU board but with none of the inherent fragility that comes with this construction.
Lib Tech are changing everything you know about surfboards and everything you thought was possible in surfboard construction. Using 31 brand-new components to the surf industry and calling on 30 years of experience constructing environmentally friendly surfboards, skateboards and snowboards, it was inevitable that Lib Tech were going to produce some remarkable surfboards using this ground breaking, environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Each of the Lib Tech is handcrafted in the USA with an unwavering focus on building THE toughest high performance surfboards in the world with a commitment to operating in an environmentally responsible manner.
The construction process uses a Nitrogen cell Foam (25-40% recycled content) core for maximum strength and pop. The foam is closed cell, completely waterproof and won’t absorb water.
Hexzylon Fibre Foam Skin, this is a smooth, strong, impact and ding resistant layer with the signature Hex pattern.
Next comes the unique Woven Basalt Fibre which is additive free super strong and resists heel dents.
The Bio-Matrix Resin is super strong and environmentally friendly with the best flex qualities of traditional PU and a longer lifespan than Epoxy.
Lib Tech surfboards are fitted with the lightest and toughest fin boxes on the market which are compatible with Pro Box, FCS, and all FCS dual tab style fins. They also use Sprock Blocks at the tail to add even more durability to the most fragile areas on the board. Even the leash plug has been given the same attention with 6061 T6 Aircraft aluminium pins and lightweight fibre composite cups.
“Since I first saw Lib Tech’s ECO ISO construction, I wanted to build a board with it. The strength to weight ratio, eco minded materials and techniques, and the fact that this tech was being built in the USA was incredibly interesting to me. I am stoked that the time has finally come and hope people enjoy riding them as we have enjoyed building them.” – Matt Biolos
