Lib Tech Lost Retro Ripper 2024

The 2024 Lib-Tech Lost Retro Ripper is a Japan-inspired, extra floaty, powder loving throwback board that is a work of art worthy of being both under your feet and hanging on your wall. The extra wide floaty nose and swallow tail combine to keep your nose up, your tail down, and your legs burn-free on even the deepest of powder days, and they deliver a speedy, surfy, and carve-hungry feeling on on groomers and hard snow. The Retro Ripper is a timeless board that turns average days into great days, and great days into best days.
