Libtech Doughboy 195 Snowboard Review 2018-2019- Rated Radical!

TESTER: Knut Carter

BOARD: Libtech Doughboy 195

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 10:  Radical (10)

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It’s hard to pick just one thing. The graphics might be the best.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: The magna traction maybe could be a little more mellow. It felt pretty good though.

OVERALL COMMENTS: I was worried it would feel to long. I was wrong. Probably one of finest runs of my life. It was a Cadillac on groomers. Felt smooth at high speeds. Felt fine in trees. It cut through an an ice layer on fresh snow like butter. Any other board would have sunk.

RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 7:  RADICAL

SHAPE COMMENT: AT THING OF BEAUTY

ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS:  The length was intimidating before riding. After a couple seconds I knew the length and shape made it perfect.

RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7:   RADICAL

FLEX COMMENT:  JUST RIGHT

ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT:  The flex was perfect for the length. It turned easy and the super long nose and tail stayed stable.

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS:   RADICAL

STABILITY COMMENT: ROCK SOLID- AS GOOD AS IT GETS

ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: The most stable board I’ve ridden. The length made it feel like I wasn’t going fast. The magnatraction edges between the feet made turns at high speed easy. Very stable in hard to ride crud.

RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7:  6

COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:  I couldn’t believe the pop for such a big board. It was way more playful than I thought with it being 6’4″ long.

RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7:    RADICAL

COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: EFFORTLESSLY FLOATY

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: It would most likely float in 10 feet of powder.

RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7:  RADICAL

GRAPHICS COMMENT: I’M FEELING IT

ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: The skelly graphic is iconic for lib. The colors pop. The flower top is really cool. This graphic will turn every head.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY: I thought this board would feel like a plank and be hard to ride. I was way off. It made me fall in love with snowboarding all over again. I was amazed at how fun it was. Definitely a life changing experience.
