1. The introduction of Lib Tech’s Banana Technology marked yet another departure from orthodox snowboard design.

2. Traditionally, snowboards are built with camber—the gentle arch formed in between the board’s contact points when placed on a flat surface.

3. Camber geometry was first introduced for skis, which each have only one central area of pressure input (i.e., under the skier’s boot).

4. Snowboards, however, have two areas of pressure input (i.e., one under the front boot, and one under the back boot), leaving the rider unable to efficiently depress the center of the snowboard, an effect which Lib Tech’s Pete Saari calls the “dead zone.”

5. Banana Technology does away with this “dead zone” by reversing the snowboard’s camber between the rider's feet; rather than arcing upward, like traditionally cambered boards, those with Banana Technology arc downwards, allowing the board to rest on its center when placed on a flat surface.

6. As Saari puts it, “Banana Technology focuses edge pressure between your feet, bringing the dead zone to life.

7. It adds catch free tips and tails for jibs, rails, and forgiving landings. It adds pre-bent rocker between your feet for edge hold and carving, and it adds tip and tail float in powder."

8. Banana Technology (BTX), like Magne-Traction before it, begins with the premise that a snowboard is not a ski.

9. Banana Technology replaces camber with rocker "Banana" between your feet.

10. When you stand on your board, pressure is now applied inward to the edge area at the between your feet.

11. As your weight presses out the rocker, tips and tails still make full contact for control and stability but edge pressure is reduced in tip and tail allowing them to float, climb and deflect like never before.

12. The Banana Technology flex pattern is slightly stiffened at the tip and tail to increase pop and stability on big landings.

13. Magne-Traction is incorporated into the Banana Technology to improve edgehold and put even more control underfoot at your balance point.

14. The end result is a board that is loose and catch-free, presses boxes, rails and jibs extremely well with the preset rocker, maintains pop with a stiffened tip and tail, and turns easily on hardpack and ice when the built-in rocker is put on edge.

15. The built-in rocker curve makes the board float naturally in powder and the firm nose and tail prevent the board from folding in chunky conditions.
