A shortage of insanely talented female riders has never been a problem, a shortage of insanely spec’d up boards has been. The Lib Tech Dynamiss stepped up last year to fill a growing gap in the market for a women’s specific freeride weapon.

While the Dynamiss is far from a one trick pony, it really makes a name for itself in the steep and deep. A directional chassis backed up by a subtle taper and a full inch setback ensure this is a snowboard that refuses to sink. Keeping the weight over the shorter tail not only gives extreme float but keeps control with the back leg for throwing up big sprays and slashes.

“Aggressive and punchy on piste, the Dynamiss takes advantage of the positive cambers underfoot to drive the snowboard through turns and stays lively throughout”

Although the C1 hybrid profile does feature a slight central rocker, the Dynamiss is essentially a camber dominant snowboard. Aggressive and punchy on piste, the Dynamiss takes advantage of the positive cambers underfoot to drive the snowboard through turns and stays lively throughout.

Lightweight yet strong, the Aspen and Paulownia core channels reaction without being burdensome underfoot. Triax laminates gives you the edge with reaction time and precision whether you’re riding on the fall line or just cruising groomers.

“The Dynamiss is no different, engineered in their zero hazardous waste factory and utilising an eco-sublimated base and topsheet”

The crew at Lib Tech have always been passionate about creating products that would make Mother Nature happy. The Dynamiss is no different, engineered in their zero hazardous waste factory and utilising an eco-sublimated base and topsheet, and birch sidewalls. You can go big, without leaving a big footprint

The Dynamiss features artwork from Lib Tech legend in the game Jamie Lynn, sticking to his signature style and cementing this as a snowboard that’ll make waves in the years to come.

Tester’s Verdict 2019/20

“I’ve been waiting a while to try the Lib women’s range and was really amped to get out on this but there was just something about the Dynamiss that didn’t click with me. It felt a tad heavy and cumbersome, but in fairness, I would attribute that to riding it 6cm longer than I normally would.

“It felt super stable on piste though, once you got railing onto your edge it was rock solid.”

It felt super stable on piste though, once you got railing onto your edge it was rock solid. It was fast enough to keep up with everyone we were riding with even when the snow got soggy.It’s an aggressive take-no-shit kind of board, it’ll pump through absolutely anything. Turn initiation felt super smooth, and it kept its momentum through the whole arc of the turn. Boosting off sidehits, and dropping mini features it felt really dynamic, and the landings were rock solid.

Despite riding it longer than normal, I really had to lean back to get it to float when we were in powder, we had about a metre of fresh snow and I did find it hard work on this. (Full disclosure it was the end of a long week, so I already had wobbly legs and the snow was tracked out.) I really want to love this board, because 80% of the time it was great, I’m gonna try it again in a smaller size because I can feel how much potential it has. Stay tuned.”
