The 2022 Skunk Ape is a dream board for the bigger guy who struggles to find suitable boards. Only being made in wide sizes, the Skunk Ape isn't just a big version of another board - it's specially designed to deliver top tier performance and zero drag for big guys with big boots. Lib Tech have used their Horsepower construction to maximum effect, creating a smooth and strong ride that is suitable for any type of terrain, and combined with their C2 camber profile, gives you float, power, and performance wherever you want to take it.
