2020 Lib Tech Stump Ape Snowboard

[@abyde]

Hi Matt, I just rode my 22/23 Stump Ape for the first time today and it is great in powder and grips ice well but I'm getting a ton of chatter on hard pack. It really killed my knees. I had planned on this being my daily driver but I'm not sure if it will work out. Do you think a damper binding would make it work? Right now I'm using an old pair of Cartels from 2013. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm 6 ft 3, sporty 265lbs ;), boot size 12, actually on a Nitro Magnum 2020 not sure which one i should buy and which size: Skunk Ape, Stump Ape, BRD or the Jones Flagship. Riding groomers about 70% and 30% powder/Baccountry but tending to ride powder whenever possible. exploring jumps more and more but not a killer criteria. Thanks in advance for any tips!

I'm 6.2, 220, boot size 13 and hesitating between 160 and 163 of 2021-22 models. I want it mostly for pow but wonder won't 163 word be too much?

I'm 6 ft 1 270 lbs and run a 15 4E wide Burton boot. I'm finaly past the renting stage for snowboarding and like to go on groomed blue runs but dabble in powder/parks when I can. Since I'm a big guy but technically beginner/intermidate, will this board be too squirrelly/advanced or will I grow into it pretty nicely as I progress? I'm thinking of getting a size 162 but wanted to make sure it will be a good fit before dropping $430 on the board.

It’s my favourite board ever!!! You will progress into it nicely!!!!! I have been riding 33 years now and this board is perfect for pretty much everything except hand rails.

I have 13 US Burton Imperial boot, cant decide which Lib Tech board to buy Stump ape 161W, Orca 159 or JL Tittyfish C3 160W? I like to ride ALL mountain and powder when there is awiable one, more into freeride than park and doing tricks.

Go for the Orca!

[@valerirebonen150]

@@TheHouseProductReviews it will arrive on thursday with cartel bindins and Imperial boots:)

[@matriktube]

How is flex compare to Orca??

[@TheHouseProductReviews]

They are both pretty stiff.

[@matriktube]

@@TheHouseProductReviews But compare to T. Rice pro 164 it's softer?

Would you recommend this board to a beginner? I'm 6 feet tall, 210 pounds and I want something that could be ok to start with but will be able to progress on too in the future. Thanks!

[@TheHouseProductReviews]

I wouldn't recommend the Stump Ape for a beginner.
