Description

The Lib Tech Surfboards Terrapin is designed to be a versatile wave catching one board quiver that covers all conditions at your home breaks but is also a board that you can confidently push into larger quality surf at quality wave destinations around the world.
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 surfboards 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
The Terrapin is designed by mater craftsman Alex Lopez to be an agile “modern classic”. The wide point is pretty far forward and it has a single fin set up which is built for smooth surfing and glide. Alex’s magically sculpted vision in the Lib Tech ‘dang difficult to ding’ construction is sure to relax your lifestyle and take your surfing to new dimensions. This is a slightly different take on the proliferation of Mid Lengths around at the moment, the single fin set up and long rail line gives a longboard feel but in a shorter more manageable configuration. As boards go if you’re looking for an easy surfing craft to maximise wave count and have fun this is hard to beat, throw in the truly brilliant construction and you’re on to a winner. This board is an ideal choice for someone coming off a bigger board or a foamie looking to take the next step in their progression, or for someone who wants a longboard feel but doesn’t want to cart around a 9′ 0 board. It’ll suit every level of surfer form beginner to seasoned ripper.
