Lib Tech Lib Rig Austen Sweetin 2027 160W Snowboard

Austen Sweetin's All-Terrain Rig — Every Cowboy Needs One.

Austen Sweetin is one of the most versatile all-terrain riders in snowboarding — the kind of guy who rides everything, in every condition, and actually pays attention to what works. He spent time on nearly every board Lib Tech makes, studied the geometries he kept coming back to, and worked with the experiMENTAL design team to combine them into one board. The result is the Lib Rig: a full-sized floaty nose that planes through pow without drama, a switch-functional tail that keeps options open, deep carving sidecuts that lock in on hardpack, and a no-toe-drag waist width with mild taper that makes the 160W feel more agile than it has any right to. Mild volume shift and short contact length mean you should ride this 1-2cm longer than your normal board — it rewards the extra length. OP+ construction with a Sintered Knife Cut base keeps it fast and durable all season. Art by Austen. His rig is your rig.

Why We Carry Lib Tech

Lib Tech has been building boards in Sequim, Washington since 1989. Austen Sweetin is exactly the kind of rider Lib Tech builds for: technically obsessive, mountain-smart, and not interested in boards that make compromises. The Lib Rig is the product of a rider who actually did the homework — and it shows.
