Lib Tech Kook Stick 97 2021 Preview

Manufacturer's Description: The ultimate resort maximizer featuring RAD technology. We revolutionized snowboarding with deep sidecuts in the 80s, which was adapted by the ski world in the 90s with amazing results. We turned snowboarding upside down in the mid 2000’s with Magne-Traction® and rocker/camber hybrid “Banana” contours. With the Kook Sticks, our experiMENTAL division introduces RAD (ROCKER ACTIVATED DRIVE) Technology. A revolutionary new rocker under foot / camber hybrid edge pressure distribution optimization contour system. Sounds complicated, but don’t worry it does the skiing for you... better edge control, easier turning, harder carving, while maintaining the characteristics of a mid-fat when it gets steep and deep, more float... more surf... more fun. The Kook Stick isn’t for kooks, it is for radical, freethinking, progressive shredders like you and me. Guaranteed to make everything you encounter more fun.

"The Kook Sticks were designed to make ripping around the playful runs at your local resort on an average day magical. A playful high tech look at a frontside ski. By Technology I mean our new RAD (Rocker Activated Drive) tech which incorporates was inspired by our years of snowboard contour development…skis have a “dead” low pressure spot under the boot so we brought it to life with a little positive rocker from binding to binding built onto an overall camber contour with mild early rise. The results were of adding RAD were radically positive…and include easy turn initiation, better edge hold on hardpack and ice and a little more float in pow. 97 under foot with a deeper but still playful 17m side cut radius and a bit of early rise in the tips let you rail the groomers, broken snow, float a little pow and love to get loose on wall hits and anything else you have in mind…check your inhibitions at the door and let em rip…kooks have more fun…" - Pete Saari
