2027 Lib Tech DPR Snowboard

The DPR is Lib Tech’s dedicated resort freestyle board. Directional-twin, park-minded, and built for riders who want speed, pop, and consistency when riding features, transitions, and switch. This is not a do-it-all charger or a freeride board pretending to freestyle. The DPR exists to make freestyle riding across the resort feel natural, repeatable, and fun, whether that’s park laps, side hits, or turning everyday terrain into something to jump, spin, or press.

The shape comes from serious lineage. Lib Tech co-founder Pete Saari and crew spent over a decade refining the Double Dip, and the DPR takes those lessons in sidecut, geometry, and balance and applies them to a modern freestyle platform. An early rise nose keeps the front end forgiving, easy to initiate, and floaty when the snow softens, while the camber through the tail gives the board its pop and energy. Load it up and it responds, drive it through landings and it keeps moving.

A radial sidecut with equal nose and tail widths keeps the DPR balanced and predictable, which matters when you’re riding switch or working on trick progression. Mini Magne-Traction adds just enough grip to stay composed on firm snow without making the board feel grabby or twitchy. The result is a fine-tuned resort freestyle board with a forgiving nose, a powerful camber tail, and a shape built to be ridden hard, often, and creatively.
